If you’re like me, you’re looking for a way to add pumpkins (or pumpkies, as I like to call ‘em!) to everything. From cupcakes to burritos, I’ve done it! This week, I found a recipe that made my spooky Halloween ready heart rejoice—pumpkin alfredo from Manifest Vegan. I’ve tweaked it a bit to be a little more “mac”-like, and omitted some ingredients to make it a bit easier on my wallet (and yours!). Check it out!
What you’ll need:
Throw the pasta into a pot of boiling water and cook until tender. While your pasta is cooking, combine all of the sauce ingredients (everything other than the pasta, duh!) into a food processor or blender. I used a blender, and added the olive oil in after a few rounds of blending to make it blend a bit smoother. Blend until you get a sauce like consistency—and don’t be afraid to grab a scoop and try it! Add more salt, nutritional yeast, or pumpkin to taste.
Once everything is done, mix the piping hot pasta and the sauce together until you have your desired pasta to pumpkiny-goodness ratio and eat! Feel free to throw some walnuts or pecans on top for garnish, and I also added some cracked pepper. This is a super unique and easy way to show your friends that veganism is delish!
Yum!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
