Candy apples are so pretty and fun to make for a holiday treat! There is just something about that shiny red candy that makes you want to take a big bite! I like the candy coating to be cinnamon flavored and used to add Red Hots candy to flavor the sugar syrup before I was …
These crispy, seasoned pumpkin seeds are a perfect treat for Halloween or Samhain! They are very easy to make too! Reserve all the goop from inside your pumpkin when you carve it: Remove all of the seeds from the goop. (See this post for directions on how to carve a pentagram pumpkin.)
I adapted an old family recipe to make this delicious vegan cottage pie. It was one of my favorites when I was a child, so I thought it would be fun to make for Halloween or Samhain! You can use the filling to stuff peppers, put it in a baking dish, or do both like …
These vegan caramel apples are very easy and fun to make! Make a batch of my vegan caramel, cook it to 244 degrees Fahrenheit, and pour it into one parchment-lined half sheet pan (or two 9″ x 13″ pans.) This will give you a thin layer of caramel to wrap around the apples.

This “turkey” gravy is perfect for the holidays! It is rich and delicious and I love to pour it over mashed potatoes, stuffing, and “turkey”! You can also use this same recipe to make chick’n gravy by using chick’n broth or instant broth from Magical Broth Powder instead of the “turkey” broth. Here are the …
There are three basic broths that every vegan should know how to make: “beef”, “turkey”, and chick’n. They are essential for making the best vegan gravy and soup!
