Dear Readers,

2014 has been a difficult year for me, but its challenges have left me feeling particularly grateful this Thanksgiving. I've been reminded how important it is to make the most of my time with family and friends and not to take anything, or anyone, for granted. When I sit down to Thanksgiving dinner this Thursday, I will, of course, be thankful for the love of family, for the comfort of a warm home, and for the good food, clean water, and medical care that I am very privileged to enjoy. But I will also be grateful to you. Knowing that there are people who read my words and cook my recipes gives me a sense of purpose and a connection to something outside my own limited world. Thank you for allowing me into your kitchen.

With love and thanks and a teaspoon of thyme ,

Mushroom Seitan Roast

You don't have to be a mushroom lover to enjoy my latest main dish. Chopped fine, the mushrooms lend some savory flavor, but the seitan provides the meaty texture. If you can't have gluten, be sure to check out the recipe anyway because I've included a guide to my family's favorite Thanksgiving dishes, some of them gluten-free and soy-free.

On Plant-Based Slow Motion Miracle:

Coconut Kissed Pumpkin-Persimmon Pie with Millet Carob Crust

Maria's latest pumpkin pie gets its sweetness from persimmons and dates--no sugar! There's no gluten or soy either, so if you're dealing with a restricted diet, be sure to take a look. The crust alone is mouthwatering!
