Shepherd's Pie
Growing up this was one of my favorite meals, because it's comfort food and the idea of mixing so many kinds of food together in layers was really fascinating for a child. Here are two recipes my now-vegetarian family can enjoy.
Butternut Squash Soup
Squash may not be for everybody, but I personally love it. According to the blog I got the recipe from, even butternut squash hating husbands like this soup, so I think this one is a good call.
Substitutes for Veg/Vegan:
Half&Half --> almost 1 cup Soy Milk + 3 tbs Vegan Butter whisked together
Chicken Stock --> Vegetable Broth
Butter --> Vegan Butter (I use Earth Balance)
Butternut Squash Risotto
The only risotto I've ever had has been with cheese and mushrooms (and I don't usually like mushrooms), so I've been on the hunt for a risotto mixed with something else- and since I love butternut squash and it's very Fall-themed, why not!
Recipe (Vegetarian)
Maple Baked Beans
I always trust ohsheglows.com to give me healthy vegan substitutes for the food I love. Maple beans sound even better than normal baked beans and I can't wait to make a ton of this.
(ohsheglows is one of my favorite health/vegan recipe blogs/instagrams!)
Glazed Lentil Walnut Apple Loaf ("Vegan Meatloaf")
Another recipe from ohsheglows, meatloaf is another comfort food that can be replaced by lentils.
Vegan & Gluten Free Carrot Cake
I don't know why I've been craving carrot cake lately, but maybe I'm just being drawn to all things orange now that the leaves are changing. What better way to eat your treats (without the dreaded stomach ache after) than vegan & gluten free?
Apple Cider Floats
This is just a great party drink, because cider is so traditional, and making it a float is not only delicious but also way more fun.
To make vegan, replace the ice cream with vegan ice cream, such as all-coconut ice cream. Most large chain supermarkets should have something available, just make sure to read all of the ingredients!
Chai Tea
This is one of my all time favorite drinks. Not being able to drink coffee, this is my go-to drink when I go out to coffee shops or want something with more of a kick than normal tea. There are many ways to make it, and there are powders and tea bags you can buy at stores, but here are two simple recipes if you want to make your own.
Happy Fall!
