Festive Fall Fare - Jazzy Vegetarian

Autumn is the perfect time for purchasing fresh-picked produce at your local farm market. But what do you do with the various varieties of seasonal squash, cruciferous wonders, and crisp apples that you bring home? Here are ten of my vegan and delicious recipes to savor fall flavors. Happy, Healthy Autumn!

The star of this festive fall recipe line-up is inspired by the harvest: My **Cauliflower Steaks with Sweet Pepper Sauce** are colorful, impressive, and satisfying making an entrée that’s ideal to serve throughout the fall and winter season. Smothered in a flavorful sweet pepper sauce, you can serve this yummy dish for a weeknight meal or festive celebration.

Craving the comforting, creamy texture and smooth taste of mac and cheese? This innovative **Mac ‘n Peas Casserole** is a kiddo friendly recipe that fills the bill when you’re seeking a warm and hearty replacement for the dairy-laden version of this classic recipe. Peas add color and pop, while the seasonal butternut squash and cashews create a super velvety sauce.

Hearty **Cauliflower, Sweet Potato and Celery** **Chowder** is filling and delicious for a satisfying, one pot autumn meal.

ighlighting cabbage, an autumnal favorite, this **Sweet and Sour Stuffed Cabbage** recipe is based on my mother-in-law’s traditional family recipe and it’s totally tasty. A tangy tomato sauce enhanced with freshly squeezed lemon juice balances beautifully with brown sugar, making a true sweet and sour sauce for these hearty, savory stuffed cabbage rolls. A fabulous holiday dish or satisfying weeknight meal!

**Creamy Cauliflower Soup** features steamed cauliflower harmonized with almond milk and other savory seasonings for a warm weather soup that will prompt your diners to query, “Is there any dairy in this soup?”

Potatoes are great storage vegetables, but most varieties are harvested in the fall. My **Spicy Chickpea and Potato Stew** is a sensational dish! It has quite a line-up of ingredients, but it’s *very* easy to prepare and has a spicy kick to it, with a bit of an Indian flair.

Another potato-centric dish is my hearty **Quick Red Lentil-Potato Soup**! Needing only fifteen minutes to prep, with only seven ingredients to assemble, this potage is an excellent candidate for a nutritious lunch or informal supper. As the red lentils cook, they break down to magically thicken the broth. Before you know it, you have a hearty and delicious soup, ready to serve.

**Sweet Potato Pie** adds a festive flourish to the close of any holiday meal. Using pre-baked sweet potatoes and a quick-to-prepare cookie crust makes it easy. This satisfying Festive Sweet Potato Pie will truly dazzle your family and guests alike

**Butternut Bisque** presents a smooth, creamy and flavorful potage for hearty fall meals. Butternut squash combined with seasonal cauliflower and freshly picked apples provide a rich flavor in this easy-to-prepare soup.

Last (but not least) **Baked Apples in Parchment** are true fall fare, providing a satisfying snack, nutritious breakfast treat, or delicious and elegant finish to any festive meal.

I hope you will savor these bountiful recipes and *please* have a **Healthy Autumn**!
