Turn your Thanksgiving or any holiday leftovers into the perfect bite! Check out my video to see how to whip up an easy Quinoa & Cauliflower Mash that tastes like creamy mashed potatoes, but has more fiber per serving. Oven Roasted Butternut Squash gives a sweet balance to the savory fillings like Vegan Stuffing with Collard Greens. Roll it up and fry it to savor the day after Thanksgiving without eating another turkey sandwich. I dipped my hot won ton pockets of goodness in cranberry sauce for a sweet and tart twist or smother them with gravy.

Quinoa & Cauliflower Mash

1 cup steamed or roasted cauliflower

1 cup cooked quinoa

2 tablespoons vegan butter

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

3 cloves garlic

Salt to taste

Puree until almost smooth, but do not over process.

Oven Roasted Butternut Squash

1 small squash, cut into small cubes

Olive oil

Salt

Nutmeg

Cinnamon

Arrange squash in an even layer on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Spray squash lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a little salt, nutmeg and cinnamon to taste. Roast for 35-45 minutes in a 400-degree oven. Puree and adjust seasoning.

Vegan Stuffing Mix- I always doctor mine up with onions, celery and water chestnuts. I added some cooked collard greens after I fluffed the stuffing.

Field Roast, Tofurky or your favorite faux meat

Wonton Pi or Mandu wrappers, Egg roll-Spring roll-Lumpia wrappers If you’re trying to keep it plant based, check the ingredients to avoid ovo/lacto. I use a local brand made without animal products.
