Cranberry Chutney (Vegan)

Vegan Cranberry Chutney 

I’m slowly getting ready for Thanksgiving.  Very slowly.  I just decided yesterday to buy some cranberries with no real intention of making sauce.  I just bought them–they are a pretty cranberry color and . . . they sort of define Thanksgiving.  Seriously, I bought with no intention!  BUT I do know that I can freeze cranberries so even if I didn’t use them now . . . I could freeze them and use them later.  Sometimes I do things that don’t really make a lot of sense.  (For the record I have bought fingernail polish because it was a pretty color–but I never paint my nails AND I have lots and lots of really beautiful yarn . . . are you seeing a trend?)

The Video

My real time, on the fly video.

The Ingredients

  1. one smaller box of cranberries
  2. 1/2 of a sweet onion
  3. juice and zest of one Cara Cara orange (IMHO these oranges are the absolute best on earth.)
  4. 3 smaller carrots
  5. 6 cloves of garlic–which is too much!

I start with the onions on low to caramelize them . . . then add the rest.  

When I was in the kitchen on this day I also prepped up my butternut squash–I had 4!  I roasted them all.  I will make soup, freeze some cubes and use the remaining squash for my Thanksgiving day vegan casserole.  

Be Blessed as you eat with L.O.V.E.

My Silly CSA Share Video

In this very silly video I share the contents of my Sandhill Farms CSA share.  

The videographer was a bit silly and laughing while filming so it moves around a bit.  I’m sort of unapologetic about the videos–they are what they are and I’m just a crazy vegan lady eating a bunch of veggies!  I am happy!

Not so horrible am I?

With all of these great choices that include two of my all time favorite candies–even before declaring myself a vegan–I was making steps towards being vegan!  So really, we could all be vegan on Halloween.  We could all buy candy with compassion in mind.

Have a wonderful and safe Halloween!
