1. Whole Foods Vegan Holiday Dinner

   This is a new take on a holiday feast and perfect for the more well-seasoned vegans! It comes with:

   Romanesco Cauliflower Roast with Miso Bagna Càuda: Whole, slowly cooked romanesco cauliflower with a bright lemon-garlic bagna càuda sauce and rich umami from red miso.
   - Charred Escarole with Tomatoes and Chickpeas: Fresh autumn stew of cherry tomatoes and chickpeas braised with garlic and rosemary. A bed of charred escarole, a lightly bitter green, adds smokiness to the meal.
   - Cremini Mushroom Stuffing with Kimchi: Slow-cooked cremini mushrooms steeped with rosemary, extra-virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar. Sautéed shallots and vegan kimchi give this stuffing depth.
   - Roasted Acorn Squash with Maple and Hazelnut Dukkah: Tender wedges of squash, roasted sweet-and-sour style with maple syrup, sherry vinegar and cayenne pepper. An earthy crunch of hazelnuts, sesame seeds, herbs and sea salt finish the dish.
   - Frosted Sweet Potato Blondie with Spiced Cashews: Roasted sweet potatoes and golden raisins add a natural sweetness to this vegan take on a traditional blondie. Topped with creamy, sweet frosting and finished with a sprinkling of toasted cashews, sugar and a hint of smoky, sweet curry.

   This meal serves two, and comes with a yummy dessert! If you are looking to try new flavors and you’re feeding a small crowd, definitely try this meal for only $39.99.
