10/30/25: Fall Comfort Food Makeover - Plant-Based Edition
In this cozy episode of The Kitchen, I'm inviting you to join me as we reimagine our favorite fall comfort foods in lighter, more nourishing ways. Because here's the thing - comfort food doesn't have to weigh us down or make us feel heavy and sleepy afterward.
I'll walk you through transforming classic dishes that feel like a warm hug: we're swapping traditional meatloaf for a protein-packed lentil loaf that still feels like Sunday supper, creating the most amazing loaded sweet potato instead of the usual bacon-heavy baked potato, and making a plant-based mac and cheese that'll have you coming back for seconds.
I'm also sharing my secret for incredible vegan crab cakes using hearts of palm and chickpeas - Ric absolutely loves these and asks for them every couple of weeks! And for dessert? We're lightening up apple pie into a gorgeous apple crisp with oats, almond flour, and walnuts that smells absolutely divine.
What I love most about this approach is that we don't lose the soul of these beloved dishes - they're still comforting, still delicious, but now they're kinder to our bodies and support our lymphatic and immune systems during the cooler months.
Join me in the kitchen as we discover how comfort can be both indulgent and deeply nourishing. Your body will thank you!
