Rotini with Broccolini and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
“So this recipe is simple. And there aren’t many ingredients either. (Woo hoo!) Although I made this with whole wheat rotini, you can use any kind of pasta you have on hand. If you don’t want to buy broccolini, use a crown of broccoli instead. You can sub out the pine nuts with walnuts or almonds. This recipe is agreeable like that.” - Kiersten
Roasted Butternut Squash With Sage & Dried Cherries

Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Pear, Cranberries, and Vegan Parmesan

Fig and Brie Panini with Prosciutto
“The brie and fig panini turned out really well. The brie melted nicely and the sandwich was nice and ooey and gooey and good with every bite trailing strings of melted brie. The sweet fig, brie and prosciutto were a great combination and I practically inhaled the sandwich. Luckily I have enough of everything to make a few more of them.” - Kevin
Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Creamy Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup
“This will become your go-to soup this fall. It's delicious! The seasoning blend adds a great savory flavor. But it's a bit sweet from the butternut squash. We added kale to our soup and liked the fresh taste and crunchy texture. Spinach would be fantastic too.” - Kitchen Crew
Baked Brie With Cranberry Sauce
“This is a simple, but elegant, appetizer that will please just about anyone on Thanksgiving (or at any point in the holiday season). The buttery Brie is creamy when it melts and its savory flavor is a nice contrast to the tart cranberries. Walnuts add a nice crunch. We loved eating this with sliced apples. The sweetness from the apples is a lovely combination with the baked Brie. When you're limited on time, this quick and easy appetizer can be put together in no time.” - Kitchen Crew
Amish Pumpkin Bread
“I make this bread whenever I'm craving pumpkin. It's so moist and delicious. I have also made it as banana bread, you just replace the pumpkin with banana and omit the spices. All around a fabulous recipe. Thanks so much for posting it!” - Lauren
