A festive sweet potato course with enough flavor for an entire meal. And enough Vitamin A to get you through 4 days. If the Thanksgiving turkey's on the bland side, this is the sweet potato dish you want right alongside it.

A little steam + a little surface heat = sweet, earthy, tender and juicy with a fine layer of almost caramelized crispness. If you were a head of cauliflower, this is the Way you'd want to be treated.

The pumpkin pie for everyone who'd really rather be digging into an apple pie. So many flavors in the warm, soft spiced pumpkin-apple puree. All of your taste buds are working overtime. Even before the buttery, flaky pie crust melts in your mouth.

This is what I want when the weather turns cold and winter squash turns up at the Farmers Market. It's easy. It's mouth-and-soul-warming. Exotic flavors and aromas laced through a sweetly familiar, comfortable squash soup.

So delicious it's a revelation. $5 for the whole sweet, savory, herbaceous, smoky, buttery thing. A complete meal for two. Lots of Vitamins A, C and K. I just ate half of it for dinner. Totally satisfying. I'd eat the other half for breakfast.

$3 for a huge bowl (11 cups!) of the best, sweetest, light and crisp popcorn and crisp & creamy fried chickpeas. High in complete protein. Zero in anything bad. But, still, don't eat the whole bowl yourself.

When my CSA farm share came with a bunch of truly beautiful looking poblano peppers, I knew what the leftover polenta, squash and salsa verde in the fridge were meant for. Wildly flavorful, low calorie stuffed peppers with big doses of Vitamin C.

A big 8-ounce serving of this sweet, tart, earthy, slightly crunchy, barely spicy vegan side dish with half your daily Vitamin C and all your Vitamin K. Highly aromatic. 25 cents. This could become a Fall-Winter habit.
