Chocolate Pudding Pie

This Chocolate Pudding Pie recipe is super easy and can be found online here or in the book Vegan Pie In the Sky by The Post Punk Kitchen's Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero.

Quinoa Pilaf

This dish is actually a version of the stuffed acorn squash filling found in this recipe. 
If you don't have the time or money to buy everyone their own acorn squash, the filling is great on its own. I call it "quinoa pilaf."


Stir fry the following ingredients:
- red peppers
- broccoli 
- zucchini
- onions
- scallions 
- garbanzo beans
- almond slivers


Add whatever herbs you like! I used cumin, ginger, tarragon, thyme, rosemary, and basil.

Cook up some quinoa according to the directions on the packaging. Mix the veggies with the quinoa. That's it! 

 

Vegan Vanilla Frozen Yogurt

I made vanilla frozen yogurt using this recipe from VegNews. Instead of soy yogurt, I used coconut milk-based yogurt.
