When I first took the leap and started watching what I was eating, I had the mindset that low calorie = healthy.
It’s a simple mistake to make; after doing a little research, the general consensus is that a calorie is a calorie. Eating too many of them isn’t so good for the good ol’ waistline, right?Read More
So, back when I was a meat-eater, Thanksgiving foods never really excited me.
Stuffing is soggy bread. Turkey is dry and tasteless. Ham is way too salty. Mashed potatoes are delicious, but super duper filling. Cranberry sauce…no food should jiggle that much.
I’ve always felt pretty “meh” about the whole Thanksgiving feast idea.

Allow me to tell you the story of how The Best Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Pie came to be.
One bright and sunny day, a spunky food blogger decided it would be the day she would conquer one of her all-time favorite fall treats: the coveted pumpkin pie.

For the past few years, my Thanksgiving has been spent with three of my favorite people: my mom, my dad, and my brother. Due to travel plans/life happenings/whathaveyous, the four of us have opted to stay home in favor of a Thanksgiving extravaganza for four.

Let me start out by saying that I literally just did a happy dance across my kitchen floor because of how dang delicious these muffins are.

Yeah, you heard me. Extravaganza.
In my opinion, October 31 starts the Season of Indulgence.
First we have Halloween, the night of the organized begging for candy.
Next is Thanksgiving, where we eat all day and ceremoniously watch inflatable figures maneuver their way around the streets of New York City.
And then finally, Christmas; the day of family, feasting, and singing about a large man and his reindeer.
What a wonderful season we have ahead of us.Read More
