Autumnal food porn

After not properly cooking for myself for a long time after surgery, today i decided i need to get back into it. I prepared a autumnal feast. Im so full, i should not have eaten it all..

Woo, so I made a quinoa-stuffed acorn squash! (pumpkin if yr an aussie)

Acorn roasted with garlic, rosemary, nutmeg, pecans, cranberries, pinenuts, coconut oil and coconut nectar sugar.

I had the idea to roast it with the coconut nectar sugar as opposed to the common roasting with brown sugar. Ive been trying to experiment with this sugar alternative and have only had one other oppertunity so far, with baking. Same goes for the coconut oil. Its new to me, but it turns out the coconut flavs really went well with the squash, giving it that sweetness without being overbearing.

Stuffing was red quinoa, and tempeh, with some pecans and crans.

kale on the side.

holyy hell, this was ridiculously delicious. will certainly make again.

I went to Key West, FLORIDA the other weekend. Tagging along on my parents weekend getaway, I went off on my own to walk the cute streets, go to the state park, and found a vegitarian spot that served VEGAN FRENCH TOAST !!!! ahhhhh whaaaaaaatttt



they also serve a parfait with HOMADE coconut yogurt (vegan!) fruit and granola. STFU. I was totes gunna try their yogurt but they were unfortunately out for the day.

yum yum. the place was called Help Yourself.
