This week’s link up is right in my wheelhouse. This month I’ve been focusing my Meatless Monday posts on healthy vegetarian dishes for the holidays, so I am excited to share them with you all in one place. It was hard to choose which ones to post so here are a few of my favorites:
1. Mushroom, Kale & Fresh Pea stuffing recipe
You won’t miss the meat in this hearty, healthy stuffing.
2.Warm Fall Vegetable Salad w Lemon Dressing (recipe)
All your favorite fall veggies in one warm delicious, colorful bowl. You’re guests will gobble it up.
3. Cranberry, Pear & Orange Sauce (Recipe)
The combo of the 3 fruits is delicious!
4. Pumpkin Kale Lasagna (Recipe)
A yummy alternative to the traditional lasagna recipe.
5. “Souper” Foods Soup (Recipe)
I could eat this everyday!
Hope you enjoy some of my favorite Healthy Fall Foods recipes. If you like what you see, tune into our Meatless Monday link up each week for more. Happy Thanksgiving!

We are making the cranberry sauce of yours for Thanksgiving!! And that pumpkin kale lasagna looks delicious. I want to try that once I get back from Thanksgiving.
In the fall and winter months I love soup and chili because it is so cold out it warms me up! And who doesn’t love melted cheese?
