Hey all, good to see ya. (HAPPY NEW YEAR!!)
I'm pretty sure this recipe could be classified as Daal, since it's basically a lentil stew with Indian flair. All I know is - it's perfect for cold, homework-filled winter nights, and it's almost impossible to screw up. Enjoy!

Me, My Elf, and I
Seasons greetings, from me and my long lost twin... Hope you're all well, and that you enjoy this gingerbread cookie recipe (sorry it's a bit late)! There's quite a lot of variety among cookie recipes - so I'll let you know right now that this one makes them soft and chewy. Cause that's my favorite.
BTW: If you catch the movie ref - you win at life.

I was actually shocked and amazed at how delicious this stuff is. You'll probably have some ricotta filling left over, if you're not a raw vegan 100% of the time, I recommend whipping up some baked stuffed shells.

Dreaming of Vegan Quesadillas
In the interest of accurate nomenclature, perhaps we should come up with a new name for these, can they really be called quesadillas if there's no QUESO involved???
Prep time: 1 hour 30 minutes (most of it's downtime... roasting the squash)
Serves: 6-8 (one quesadilla per customer)
TIP: Make the roasted butternut filling and nacho "cheese" ahead of time, then keep them in the fridge. That way you can easily throw together a quesadilla in a matter of minutes whenever the mood strikes you.
