Tis the season for all things pumpkin, so as a food blogger I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t post at least one pumpkin recipe.  I’m a little late to the game, as pumpkin recipes have been all over the internet for a couple of months now, but the weather here in New England is still mild and I’m not quite ready to let go of summer, so I’ve come up with the perfect blog post compromise –  a frozen dessert with fall flavor!   Ice cream will always be a food associated with warm weather, but when coconut milk and pumpkin are infused with warm, earthy spices, sweetened with pure maple syrup, and then frozen, the result is most definitely an autumn dessert.  Dairy-Free Spiced Maple Pumpkin Gelato is a treat befitting the Indian Summer I am hoping for!

Pumpkin Lentil Flax Crackers

Pumpkin Lentil Flax Crackers - perfect for a Thanksgiving gathering. Vegan, gluten-free and made with super healthy ingredients. | QueenofMyKitchen.com

These Pumpkin Lentil Flax Crackers would be perfect as an appetizer for a Thanksgiving gathering. They’re festive and chock-full of healthy ingredients like lentils, flaxseed, coconut oil, and beets – yes, beets! This recipe was a bit of an accident. Earlier this year I was trying to make a cracker in honor of Valentines Day and wanted to use a natural ingredient to color the dough red so I added beets, which did in fact make the dough a beautiful shade of red. The only problem was that when baked the color of the dough faded to orange. The crackers still tasted delicious so I posted the recipe anyway but they were not what I had envisioned. I did, however, make a mental note to recycle this recipe for Thanksgiving because the crackers turned out to be the perfect shade of pumpkin orange! If you don’t like beets I hope you won’t shy away from making these delicious crackers. I don’t like beets but I love these crackers. I know it sounds odd to use beets as an ingredient in crackers but you don’t really taste them – they just give the crackers a hearty, earthy quality that would be lacking without them. (more…)
