French Toast Casserole with Vanilla Cardamom Cashew Cream

Dec 21, 2024 | alive.com | Lawren Moneta

This vegan take on traditional French toast is the perfect make-ahead recipe. It can be prepared the night before and then popped into the oven first thing in the morning, filling the house with an invitingly warm and cozy scent. There’s no need for maple syrup—a dreamy dollop of cashew cream, perfumed with cardamom and vanilla, puts this dish over the top and firmly in best brunch territory. There’s a reason we call specifically for sourdough bread in this recipe.

Harissa Roasted Vegetable Traybake

Dec 19, 2024 | deliciousliving.com | Lawren Moneta

This colorful feast comes together with minimal effort but packs a big punch of satisfying flavor. To round out the meal, serve with pita bread and some Greek yogurt garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and some toasted sesame seeds. Before reaching for your compost, take note that the leaves and stem of a cauliflower are not only tasty but also full of health benefits, too. They contain a surprising amount of calcium and iron, which help with bone health and immunity.
Socca with Beet, Yogurt, Greens, and Egg

Dec 19, 2024 | alive.com | Lawren Moneta

This plant-based brunch showstopper is full of bright earthy flavours. If you can’t find beets with their tops on, feel free to swap in another seasonal green such as chard, collards, or kale. Socca is a large, thin, gluten-free flatbread made primarily of chickpea flour. It’s a popular snack in southern France but also in Italy, where it’s called farinata.
Winter Citrus Salad with Ginger Tahini Dressing

Dec 18, 2024 | alive.com | Lawren Moneta

If you find yourself craving a spot of sunshine during the darker winter months, whip up a platter of this bright citrus fruit salad and revel in the jewels of winter. Feel free to play around with the citrus you choose. I find this salad particularly lovely with a mix of sweet and tart citrus fruit as it adds a bit more depth and complexity to the overall dish. To make this salad more of a meal, consider adding a protein boost with crispy chickpeas, sliced chicken, or flaked salmon.

Baked Banana Pumpkin Doughnuts

Dec 17, 2024 | alive.com | Lawren Moneta

You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who would turn down a still-warm doughnut, and even fewer who would turn down one of these. These banana pumpkin doughnuts are baked, and lighter in texture than your typical fried indulgence, but they don’t compromise on taste. Crowned with a simple chocolate glaze and a shower of pumpkin seeds (a nod to what’s in them), you can have these doughnuts made and on the table in about an hour. Coconut oil has become one of the most popular cooking oils worldwide.
