This week is all about staying warm. Now that the mornings are a little darker and the air a little cooler one can’t help but want some delicious meals to help stay warm. Let’s start with the classics; a vegan oatmeal with the works that will stick to your ribs until lunch. Continue that warm feeling with a thick, chowder style cauliflower and corn soup and a creamy butternut squash chili. If you’re hungry during the day you can try out some amazing, savoury homemade crackers. They are a yummy snack but also go well with soup or chili.
Breakfast
Creamy Loaded Oatmeal
Mornings are darker and there’s a coolness in the air, Warm up your morning routine with a nice bowl of hot “loaded” oatmeal to start the day.
Lunch
Cauliflower and Corn Chowder
This thick and delicious chowder styled soup has very few ingredients and can be whipped up in no time. It’s perfect for lunch at home or on the go.
Dinner
Butternut Squash and Black Bean Chili
Nothing beats a good chili on a cool fall evening. This recipe uses butternut squash to create and almost creamy textured chili that hits the spot.
Snacks & Desserts
Savoury Homemade Crackers
Piled high with hummus or white bean dip, the lowly cracker is the unsung hero of the snack world.
The shopping list is broken down by meal for ease of use. We try to include recipes that use the same ingredients more than once so that you don’t end up with food waste. Because of this you’ll see that if an ingredient in the breakfast recipe is also in the dinner recipe it is only listed once. Let us know if you like this way of laying out the shopping list or if you have a better suggestion. If you’ve been following along for a few weeks you’ll notice that many of the ingredients are things that were used in weeks past.
