My favorite pie? Pumpkin! I would eat it everyday if I could, but for that reason, I only make it 2 times a year, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Its the best Pumpkin Pie you will ever have. Period. Perfectly seasoned, smooth, and perfectly balanced, this pie will leave you wanting more. Mouthwatering Pumpkin Pie Makes one 8" Pie Pie should be lightly browned on top when it comes out of the oven.

To Make: Enjoy! Pre-heat oven to 350.  Place pumpkin puree and cream cheese into food processor and mix until well blended. Add sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Puree 30-45 seconds until well blended.  Pour all mixture into pie

We don't eat these often in my house due to the fact that we try to stay away from too much soy, but when we do, they are an absolute treat! The perfect replacement for an omelet and really customizable. You can use any veggies you like such as spinach, peppers, mushrooms, corn and even black beans. The base recipe and spices are the same, however. Here is what I used in mine today: Veggie and Cheese Breakfast Scramble Makes 2 large portions Adding veggies to the pot  What you will need (base recipe): 1 Package Firm Tofu (drained) 1/2 Package Daiya Mozzarella Shreds 1 Red Onion (diced) 1/4 Cup Cilantro (minced) 2 Green Onion Stalks (chopped)  1 TBS Olive Oil  1 TBS Curry Powder 1/2 TBS Tumeric 1 1/2 TBS Garlic Powder 1 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper 1 TBS Sea Salt Veggies used in this recipe: 4 Dino Kale Leaves (stems removed and chopped) 1 Package of Bunapi Mushrooms (bottom removed and mushrooms separated) 1 Tomato (chopped) 1/2 Cup Broccoli 1 Av

Perfect Holiday Cider

I concocted this recipe by trial and error, simply out of need. Every year on Christmas Eve, I make a spiced rum cider. However, a couple years ago, I looked everywhere for those prepackaged mulling spices, but everywhere I looked, they were out. I decided that t I would just grab some whole spices and make my own. After all, there isn't actually anything magical in those prepackaged spices, except maybe some added chemical preservatives. The first time I made it, I didn't put enough spices in, the second time, I forgot to put the sugar, but the third try was a charm, and that is the recipe I have stuck with ever since. Perfect Holiday Cider     Makes 8-10 Glasses What you will need: 1/2 gal 100% Organic Apple Cider (you can juice your own apples, if you want..) 1/3 Cup All Natural Cane Sugar Peel of 1 Orange (you need the whole peel, including the rind) Peel of 1/2 Lemon 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice 1 TBS Whole Cloves 1.5 TBS Whole Allspice 4 Cinnamon Sticks 1 TBS G
