Freshly baked Pumpkin cornbread, stuffing veggies baked right into a flavorful cornbread stuffing. Vegan, might be made gluten-free. Serves 4
So the opposite day I made a decision I should cook up the entire deal in sooner or later. That sometimes doesn’t work out thoroughly for me. 🙂 I went to the kitchen and decided I’ll stop when I need to. Anywho, I made a plan in my head, got the recipe outlines together and began making the Lentil loaf and stuffing and went on from there. I ended up stretching my limit a bit to make the cranberry sauce as well ultimately. I had the entire spread done in 2.5 to three hours. Now that included some rest time in between. I had the Pumpkin Pie that i made 2 days before, so the spread worked out rather well.
The Lentil Quinoa Loaf is fabulous with the glaze. The Cornbread Stuffing is made with Pumpkin Cornbread which keeps the cornbread quite moist and the standard stuffing veggies. With a side of mashed sweet potatoes with cinnamon and a touch of warmth from the cayenne, and a straightforward cranberry, orange juice, jalapeno sauce.
I put my lentils and sweet potatoes to cook on the stove around 1 pm and went about chopping up the veggies and getting other things ready. Once the lentils+quinoa and sweet potatoes were done, they cooled off on the side while I cooked up the veggies for the loaf and cornbread. After the veggies were done, I mixed up the pumpkin cornbread and put it within the oven. Then mashed them potatoes. Then mashed up the lentils with the veggies and shaped the lentil loaf. Cornbread was done, so lentil loaf went within the oven, while cornbread cooled a bit to be crumbled into the stuffing. Once the loaf was done, the stuffing went into the oven to crisp up. Enough time for the Loaf to chill and be sliced. Every part on the table! Wait Cranberry sauce. Yep made that as well. Stretched my limit a bit. Took a break after which needed to hurry to take some pictures before it got dark.
You possibly can make a soup or one other side from my earlier Thanksgiving round up, a day upfront, reheat and serve.
Make my No Bake Pumpkin Pie with Gingerbread crust or this Chocolate Pumpkin Tart upfront as well! each Gluten-free and soy-free. Just Slice and serve.
