Vegan Pumpkin Pie
Let’s face it, it’s not Thanksgiving without the pumpkin pie! Let alone this entire season of pumpkin everything!

Vegan Chili alla Putanesca with Polenta
This remake was easier than I thought as my initial concern was achieving the intensity of flavor I was accustomed to with Putanesca sauce. I vividly remember posting this recipe back when I was living in Atlanta in my gorgeous kitchen with two French balconies that…
