Delicious Vegan Fall Recipes to Keep Cozy
Hey Reader,
Fall is my favorite season. It's not just the food (ok, a lot of it is the food), it's the colorful leaves, the cooler weather, being able to snuggle by the fireplace in a big hoodie with a hot mug of tea, and snuggles from my dog and Mr. ZardyPlants. Back to the food... I love soups, and apple things, and pumpkin things, and ooph, fall baking is really fun too. That's a sample of the vegan fall recipes you'll find below. So whether you're warming up with a big bowl of soup or with a cup of coffee and a slice of apple cake, I wish you the coziest of autumns.
Oh, and if you're looking for vegan Thanksgiving recipes, no worries, those are coming really soon. But you can always peruse my collection of vegan holiday recipes if you're getting an early start on your holiday planning! (My sincere apologies to my Canadian readers who have already had their Thanksgiving. I hope you had a lovely holiday.)

Despite this, we're going to celebrate spring for...

I've come to a sad realization, Reader. Fall has pretty much ended this year (at least here in Illinois, where it's been colder and we've even had snow recently). Don't get me wrong, I know fall technically ends on December 21st but that's what the calendar says. Only a handful of trees still have leaves, I'm wearing my winter coat and gloves for the dog walk, and the wind isn't a cool breeze but a reminder of what's to come. So long, sweater weather. This also means that fall recipes are...
