So comforting and warm these smells are.
Yesterday I made an attempt to make a Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread that I added some chocolate chips to. The end result was fabulous!
Keaton came home from school and had a piece. He said he didn't know it was gluten free.
I must admit that the texture is really light and moist without the any grainy texture that you can
find a lot with gluten free baked goods due to some of the flours used.
Before I post a recipe I'll need to make this again to fine tune the measurements.
Well Thanksgiving is just next week and some of us are still trying to figure out what we are making.
We are going to my in-laws house so it won't be an all vegan meal. Maybe one day.
Here is a wonderful video by Colleen Patrick-Gourdreau that talks about celebrating a compassionate Thanksgiving. She has such a way with words. This is a great video to share with family and friends.
Let's make new traditions...ones that do no harm. With this in mind how about serving up some amazing vegan food to share with our family and friends who aren't vegan. What will you be serving? I think I may be serving up a mushroom stuffed puff pastry along with Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Arugula or roasted root veggies with a rich sauce. I might make Pumpkin Cheesecake too. Some other suggestions are Black Bean Sweet Potato Enchiladas or Roasted Root Enchiladas w/Cashew Cream Sauce(this is my favorite). The list goes on with Butternut Squash Risotto to
Butternut Squash Lasagna(used non dairy milk instead)which I may save this for Christmas.
Have a wonderful day!
That looks delicious! Can't wait to try it! My mother-in-law offered to buy a Tofurky for us this year which I thought was really sweet (even though it's heavily processed and not really healthy). At least she's hearing us now and supporting us the best she knows how. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteJen-My mother-in-law is pretty great too. It's nice to see family trying to be accommodating. Field Roast has a Celebration Roast that I've had a couple of times I just make sure to serve it up with some type of gravy. The Roasted Root Vegetable Enchiladas w/cashew sauce is so good. My mother-in-law came up a month ago and raved about it. You can use any root vegetables, I've used just white & orange sweet potatoes and a white potato. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Deleteyes this is perfect! I love pumpkin everything!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it would be great with coffee. And isn't Colleen the best?
ReplyDeleteurban vegan-it is really good with coffee and hot tea as well. I can't say enough about Colleen. I stumbled upon her site when I first became vegan and her podcasts open my yes to all the things that I didn't see or know.
DeleteThe pumpkin bread looks yummy! I'll be waiting for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for posting the video; it's great, I loved it! Let us know what you decide on making for Thanksgiving. I'm going with something similar to your mushroom idea.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Rose-That video is great isn't it.
DeleteI may be rethinking my Thanksgiving dish to make a butternut squash lasagna just cuz I'm feeling a bit blah and we have a drive to my in-laws. We'll see. Can't wait to see what you make!
The crumb on that loaf looks absolutely perfect- Just the right density, and super moist! Can't go wrong with pumpkin bread, especially if you pack it with chocolate chips. :)
ReplyDeleteHannah,
DeleteThanks so much for the compliment. It did have a nice crumb and it kept for days which was really nice.
You're getting to be quite the gf baker! The pumpkin bread looks awesome! and the chocolate chips just puts it over the top. :-)
ReplyDeleteChow,
ReplyDeleteHa well thank you very much! The chocolate chips do add that extra yum factor!
