Mmmm ❤ Warming from the inside out. Home for Thanksgiving, and I am beyond grateful for the homemade vegan comfort food that my incredible mother makes. She likes to follow recipes 100% first, and then tweak them here and there.
Butternut Squash Soup
This Creamy Cashew Butternut Squash Soup recipe requires zero tweaking. Absolutely perfect. The only complaint is that it doesn’t make enough! It is SO good. Click here for recipe by Dawn Lerman.
Three Seed Bread
Bob’s Red Mill Three Seed Bread for your bread machine is SO good! You know what Dr. Fuhrman says? The whiter the bread, the closer to dead. The recipe calls for more white flour than whole wheat, but my mom switched it. Here is the recipe she makes:
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 1 cup Unbleached White Flour
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup flaxseeds
- 2 Tbsp sunflower kernels
- 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
- 2 Tsp active dry yeast
Add ingredients to bread machine in the order recommended by the bread machine manufacturer and select basic bread cycle. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Makes 1 loaf.
Maple Balsamic Dressing
This is a Jack Tar steal ❤ If you’re ever around the Boston area, I highly recommend checking it out. Their black bean burger with no cheese and sweet potato fries is my favorite thing ever, and I literally always have that for dinner the first night back from school. They have amazing salads and vegan thai lettuce wraps too! Soo good.
My mom uses this dressing recipe as like pizza sauce to make her gourmet vegan flatbread. It is incredible.
