Cashew Spread with Walnuts, Rosemary And Cranberries by @p ure_ella

A festive holiday cheese log, dairy-free style. This is made by soaking cashews overnight, then blending them with savory roasted garlic and nutritional yeast for a 'cheese-like' flavor. After sitting the the fridge for a few hours (so excess moisture can drain off) the cashew cheese is rolled in a mix of walnuts, cranberries and rosemary for a beautiful presentation.

Sweet and Spicy Roasted Acorn Squash with Cashew Butter Drizzle by @fitmittenkitchen

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without winter squash! We love this recipe because you can customize it according to your tastes. If you prefer a sweet side dish, amp up the coconut sugar and cinnamon. Want spice? Add a bit more cayenne. As for the drizzle, we love the decadent cashew butter she chose, but feel free to use almond butter or tahini if that's what you have on hand.

D elicata Squash Boat Filled with Spiced Quinoa by @t hedreamyleaf

This recipe calls for grilling the delicata squash, but you could also roast it in a 400˚F oven for about 25-30 minutes. The quinoa and brown rice filling is scented with a pinch of cinnamon and cloves so your whole house will smell like the holidays! Plus, this dish is best served at room temperature, so you can make it ahead of time and not worry about having to heat it up (in your very crowded oven!).
