Warm Roasted Butternut Squash and Quinoa Salad from Kitchen McCabe

Warm Roasted Butternut Squash and
Quinoa Salad from The Kitchen McCabe

From Kayley (The Kitchen McCabe), the author of this recipe:

I love the red quinoa. Did you know that quinoa has the highest protein content of all grains? It has twice as much fiber as other grains and is full of essential vitamins and minerals, including iron. I love it’s texture and nutty flavor. It’s pretty great stuff.

This delicious and healthy vegan salad can be served warm or cold and is as lovely to look at - as its nutritious to eat!

Tip:  this recipe calls for a small amount of raw honey, which can be easily substituted (or omitted altogether).

Spicy Chickpea Veggie Burgers from Running on Real Food

Spicy Chickpea Veggie Burgers
from Running on Real Food

From Deryn (Running on Real Food), the author of this recipe:

"These wonderful patties are an excellent alternative to those store-bought versions that pretend to be veggie burgers. Have you ever read the list of ingredients in some of those products?! Wow! There’s not much resembling vegetables in them and they’re often packed with preservatives, sodium and other nasty additives. Years ago, I used to buy those frozen, boxed veggie burgers and other meat-wannabe products, but these days I just can’t stomach those yucky ingredients and honestly the taste leaves plenty to be desired. Homemade patties to the rescue!
In addition to being full of flavor, these patties only take about 10 minutes to prep and you probably have most of the ingredients already!"

Indeed, the recipe is easy, and these patties are delightfully flavorful and made from healthy ingredients - use gluten-free oats and GF bun or bread, if gluten sensitive or intolerant.  A unique combination of several ingredients (hint: Sriracha Sauce and ??) give these patties a complex and pleasing flavor profile.

Raw Pumpkin Pie Tarts from Raw Manda

Raw Pumpkin Pie Tarts (Vegan) from RawManda

From Raw Manda:

The best thing about this pie is that the crust is really hard to mess up. You’d have to really try. I’m pointing out this awesome fact because that’s the part of pie making that seems to really get people flustered. This raw crust is not only extremely delicious with an amazing texture, but it’s also ten times better for you. So pass up on the stressful holiday baking and create something that’s enjoyable to make.

Indeed!  These delicious mini pumpkin pie tarts are perfect for Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season.  Best of all, they are healthy and nutritious - featuring ingredients that include white mulberries, dates, pecans, coconut butter, almond milk and traditional spices.

Vegan Rainbow Potato Salad from I Love Vegan

Vegan Rainbow Potato Salad
from I Love Vegan

From I Love Vegan:

The first step to good potato salad is selecting some good potatoes of course! These pretty Creamer potatoes from The Little Potato Company are absolutely perfect! This is the Terrific Trio, a combination of red, blue, and yellow Creamer potato varietals. 
This recipe takes very little effort to throw together. Creamer potatoes cook quickly and I used my food processor to slice/grate my veggies. The active cooking time is pretty short but try to account for the time needed for the flavours to marry and intensify. I’d suggest making it a day ahead of time for optimal flavour. This recipe is easy to tweak to your own taste preferences. I like to add extra dill and pickles for a kick.
