On the the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… 2 Turtle doves, which inspired this Turtle Dipped Pretzels recipe! If you've never heard of turtles before (the candy, that is) they are typically pecans coated in caramel and chocolate. This is my take on them. These are a quick, easy, and delicious snack to make for the holiday season (or any season, really). They’re also vegan and gluten free, so they’re great for sharing! Keep reading to the end for my tips on making them. My Tips for Making These

Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away (are you following our Thanksgiving Prep guide?) and as a vegan, this has always been a time filled with uncertainty for me.
Let's face it. Most classic Thanksgiving dishes are not naturally vegan friendly. And I don't expect everyone else to cater to my dietary needs. But it's always nice to have a few dishes that we can all enjoy together as a family. I mean, isn't that part of Thanksgiving? Family togetherness? That's why I wanted to compile this list of vegan dishes to include at your Thanksgiving table this year. Whether it's for you, a family member, or heck- maybe you're throwing an entire vegan Thanksgiving!- I wanted these to be dishes that are easy to prepare that everyone can enjoy together. I've also included some tips at the bottom that will help you create the perfect Thanksgiving Spread. Let's jump in! butternut squash soup
This Butternut Squash Soup recipe from Cookie and Kate would make the perfect main dish. It's easy to share, warm, and filling. Not to mention butternut squash is perfect for this time of year. Top with nutmeg or some pumpkin seeds for a really beautiful display. YUM!
*Please note that the original recipe isn't vegan, but Kate gives great suggestions for making it vegan. coconut creamed corn
This Coconut Creamed Corn recipe Alicia blogged about last year would be a zesty take on the Thanksgiving classic side.
My mouth is already watering just thinking about this! mashed potatoes
What's Thanksgiving without mashed potatoes?
That's right. Nothing. This Vegan Mashed Potato recipe from Minimalist Baker is actually the recipe I always use. They're creamy and flavorful and always a hit! mac and cheese
Mac and cheese was one of the hardest things for me to let go of when I transitioned to a vegan lifestyle (seriously).
But this Vegan Mac and Cheese recipe from Vegan Yumminess reminds us that lack of cheese doesn't mean lack of flavor. And I mean, come on. Looking at that picture you'd never be able to tell it's dairy-free. It's just as creamy and delicious as any mac and cheese should be! cranberry orange sauce
This is the first time I've ever shared this recipe, but it is a Thanksgiving staple for me.
I've been making this cranberry orange sauce every year since becoming vegan and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. It's so easy to make and has the perfect balance between the sweet oranges and the tangy cranberries. I'll post my recipe for this below! Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Growing up, I was never really a fan of sweet potatoes. It was the same way into my adulthood. In fact, I didn't start really appreciating sweet potatoes until I became vegan. Now I can't get enough of them!
And this Glazed Sweet Potato recipe from Detoxinista is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the little guys. This recipe reminds me alot of a glazed carrot dish my mom has made me before (she uses vegan butter for me). Carrots or sweet potatoes, this recipe is a winner! apple pie
Apple pie was always one of my favorites growing up and, luckily for me, my mom's recipe is accidentally vegan! Making this Vegan Apple Pie is definitely going to continue to be a tradition of mine.
Oh and the best part? The crust is my grandma's recipe and also accidentally vegan! So I haven't had to change a single part of my childhood favorite. Thanks, mom! snickerdoodle cookies
A warm snickerdoodle cookie is one of my favorite desserts, especially during fall. These Vegan Snickerdoodle Cookies from Loving It Vegan would be the perfect dessert to bring to Thanksgiving this year!

Lindsey and Maddy's birthdays are one day after the other. For Lindsey's birthday, I made a pumpkin roll, because she is Lindsey. The lover of all things pumpkin. I don't think we have shared that recipe with you yet, so that is something we will have to do! For Maddy's birthday, I needed to come up with something vegan that says fall birthday. So, I did! These Vegan Caramel Apple Cupcakes are super delicious! I know she will love them.
Before I give you the recipe, here are a few tips:
After making the cupcakes, let them cool then top them with these 3 steps:
Now, here is the recipe!
The nice thing about these cupcakes is that they are moist and they taste like Fall. No one will ever guess that they are vegan! I know Maddy will love them!

I've been trying to come up with a good gluten free, vegan cookie recipe for a friend of mine that has PCOS. I wanted them to be easy to make and, of course, delicious. Through lots of trial and error, I've come up with the vegan, gluten-free pumpkin chocolate cookies!
Personally, I think these are absolutely what I was going for! They are soft and the texture is very similar to regular cookies (I'm usually not a huge fan of the texture of gluten-free cookies! Sorry!). Check out the recipe below and be sure to read the tips I've included as well! I hope you enjoy! the recipemy notes
the final product
These vegan, gluten-free pumpkin chocolate cookies are soft, fall apart in your mouth, chocolatey goodness. The pumpkin flavor isn't too strong and instead is a nice compliment to the chocolate. They're perfect for this fall season and heading into winter! They would even make the perfect dessert to bring to Thanksgiving to accommodate a loved one who may have allergies.
