* Treats: Veganized Halloween Candy Round-Up - 16 recipes!!
Halloween is just a week away and I'm super excited about this 16 recipe round-up I've put together with a little help from a few other bloggers. 16 of your fave, classic (non-vegan) candy bars have been veganized for your delight! Everything from vegan Twix, Snickers, Junior Mints, Whatchamacallits, Crunch bars, Reeses, Caramels and more! This is a must see slideshow for anyone who loves candy - but only the vegan kind!
* Breakfast: Banana Pecan Chocolate Muffins
I whipped up these banana muffins over the weekend and loved them. Tiny allergy-friendly chocolate chips dot the tops of a few. If you have a bunch of ripe bananas on your counter top - this recipe is for you!
* Dessert: Plump Pumpkin Halloween Cupcakes
Vanilla pumpkin pecan cupcakes meet vanilla bean frosting swirled on top. festive "pumpkin" sugar accents. These plump little pumpkins are perfect for your Halloween festivities!
* Side: Easy Cheezy Pull-Apart Breadsticks, Garlic & Sun-Dried Tomato
Fluffy, vegan buttery pull-apart breadsticks are warm and chewy and on your table in a flash! Toppings are up to you - I used sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, garlic and daiya Mozzarella cheese.
* Side Salad: Cilantro Jicama Salad
I added this crunchy Mexican-inspired salad to my vegan tacos last week. I love this salad because it pairs jicama and cilantro together - the pair wonderfully!
