Carrot Persimmon Cupcakes

These are from the brand new blog I Dream of Dessert by the same author as the recently closed blog “Cupcake Blog”. I’m glad they opened a new blog since making the decision to stop blogging at the cupcake blog spot. The recipes are unique and the photos are beautiful. I can’t wait to see what new creations they come up with next.

Seitan Roulade with Chestnut Stuffing

From the VeganYumYum blog, I wish I was a guest at their house this Thanksgiving! This recipe makes the perfect turkey alternative. It looks amazing. If I had more time this Thanksgiving, I would have definitely tried it. Maybe next year!

Nikki’s Sweet Potatoes

I’m 95% sure I’m going to make these from 101 Cookbooks for our Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. They look amazing. I can imagine the coconut milk, macadamias and ginger are the perfect compliment to the sweet potatoes.

Pumpkin Twinkies with Meyer Lemon Filling

I have a soft spot for the Hostess Twinkie. I’m not entirely sure why, considering the thing is nearly indestructible and the worst thing in the world for one to consume considering all the horrible ingredients. But that aside, the concept of a cake filled with some yummy cream is defintely something up my alley. I think of it as a rectangular filled cupcake with no frosting. These pumpkin twinkies sound great and filled with a zing of meyer lemon cream filling… Yum.

Vegetable Lasagna with Goat Cheese

I love goat cheese. I’ve found it compliments a great number of dishes from sweet to savory and this lasagna with all kinds of vegetables and goat cheese would make a great cold night, hearty meal.
