Everywhere I look, every door step I approach, every market I enter, everything\u2019s coming up pumpkin! Are you a lover of all things pumpkin too?<\/span><\/p>\n

As the days grow shorter and the leaves turn brilliant shades of red and orange, it’s no wonder that pumpkins, often associated with Halloween, play a starring role in the season. And yet their significance goes far beyond carved jack-o’-lanterns. Indigenous peoples across North America recognized the value of these hardy gourds. They were harvested in the bountiful days of fall, with the knowledge that their tough skin and extended shelf life would provide sustenance through the harsh winter months.<\/span><\/p>\n

The autumn harvest season is a time to take it slow, reflect, and find comfort in simple pleasures. During this period of the year, we often crave soul-warming foods and flavors. For some, that comfort comes from the thrill of Halloween candy on the front porch or stoop. For others it’s indulging in all things pumpkin, from lattes to muffins to soups.<\/span><\/p>\n

For me, the abundance of pumpkins appearing around every corner is a gentle reminder to heed the message of the season, and to rest and digest.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>I invite you to celebrate this opportunity to slow things down, and to join me for a slice of a nutrient-dense, pumpkin-forward creation that has been a part of my autumn repertoire for some time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My Vegan Pumpkin Cream \u201cCheese\u201d<\/span> is a tribute to the pumpkin\u2019s enduring legacy.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>This creamy delight brings together raw cashews, pureed cooked pumpkin, and a blend of flavors that create a warming, pumpkin-infused experience. It’s a snack that’s as wholesome as it is tasty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vegan Pumpkin Cream “Cheese”<\/h2>\n

This pumpkin cream \u201ccheese\u201d was inspired by a Thanksgiving pie I made several years ago. I came home from my holiday travels, tweaked that recipe, lost the crust, and voila, we\u2019ve found a new family favorite. We\u2019ll eat this pumpkin cream \u201ccheese\u201d on buckwheat date-pecan quick bread, flax crackers, or all by itself, sliver-by-sliver, until only the tiniest morsel is left in the dish in the fridge. I know what I\u2019m having for my afternoon snack!<\/span><\/p>\n
