Spicy Ginger Sweet Potato Pie – Super Foxy Sweets

CRUST:
1 package graham crackers (9 sheets),
crushed into crumbs
¼ cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ cup melted vegan margarine

FILLING:
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1” pieces
egg replacer for 3 eggs, or 1/3 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
hefty pinch of salt
1 cup coconut milk (save extra for coconut eggnog)

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. In a saucepan, bring sweet potatoes, covered with water by about 1”, to a boil and then let simmer about
15 minutes until fork tender. Drain, and mash or rice the potatoes.

3. While the potatoes are boiling, combine the crust ingredients except the margarine and mix until well
combined. Drizzle butter over mixture and stir to moisten/combine. Press the crust mix into a pie dish
and bake for 7 minutes, just to get it almost crispy.

4. Combine egg replacer/applesauce with sugar and spices, mix well. Add the coconut milk, mix again.
Finally, add the sweet potatoes and mix well. Pour into waiting pie crust.

5. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Top should be set but not dry. It may crack, but that’s ok too. Let the pie cool
for at least 20 minutes. Then, all bets are off.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Jalapeno Ginger Jelly – Heat Sweets

1lb fresh brussel sprouts, cleaned and cut in half

Yummy Tummy Tea Blend – Raganella

a soothing treat for your belly with the slight sweetness of licorice and a hint of mint. perfect to sip on before AND after your big thanksgiving feast.

here is a rough guide to measuring out the herbs. i measure it out by weight (versus volume). make a bigger batch to share with family & friends during the holidays!

directions: use 1 to 2 teaspoons of this blend per cup of boiling water. cover & steep for 10 to 15 minutes. enjoy plain or with a kiss of agave.

choose organically grown herbs whenever possible. in the city, you can get herbs at flower power (in the east village) or you can order them online from places like jean’s greens (http://www.jeansgreens.com/) or mountain rose herbs (http://mountainroseherbs.com/).

here are just some of the benefits of these herbs:
- ginger is stimulating, warming & carminative
- orange peel is a renowned bitter digestive, easing indigestion & flatulence
- chamomile calms & soothes both body & mind
- lemon balm curbs indigestion
- dandelion root encourages kidney & liver function, essential for absorption, digestion & elimination
- peppermint refreshes & stimulates
- licorice eases indigestion & promotes enhanced assimilation of other herbs
