1. Vegan Stuffed Squash with Brown Rice and Mushrooms

"The vegetables and rice for the filling and the roasted squash halves can be prepped a day or two ahead. Warm them on the stovetop or in the microwave before continuing with the recipe." —Sabrina Modelle, Simply Recipes Contributor

2. Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Shallots

"This simple recipe sautés shallots, sprouts, and garlic, that are then browned in the oven and tossed with balsamic vinegar, toasted walnuts, and thyme. It couldn't be easier!" —Elise Bauer, Simply Recipes Founder

3. Vegan Mushroom Stuffing

"I like the convenience of dried herbs for this recipe, but you could also use fresh herbs. If you don’t like sage or thyme, try swapping one for finely chopped rosemary instead." —Devan Grimsrud, Simply Recipes Contributor

4. Grandma’s Corn Pudding

"Corn pudding holds up well to making ahead. Bake it as directed, let it cool, and then reheat covered in a 350°F oven until warmed through (about 30 minutes if it’s cold from the fridge)." —Sara Bir, Simply Recipes Senior Editor

5. Kale and Farro Salad with Spiced Candied Pecans

"Instead of arugula, you can use any bitter green like watercress, radicchio, or escarole." —Julia and Amy Luxemberg, Simply Recipes Contributors

6. Trinidadian Macaroni Pie

"If you cannot find Trinidadian pimento peppers, cubanelle peppers can work as a substitute. Otherwise, it is okay to omit them from the recipe." —Alicia Ramkirpal-Senhouse

7. Mushroom Crostini

"Goat cheese can be swapped for cream cheese, whipped feta, or mascarpone." —Jessica Gavin, Simply Recipes Contributor

8. Focaccia with Caramelized Onions, Cranberries, and Brie

"For this recipe, I leave the rind on my brie. It’s fussy to cut it off and I always feel like I end up losing too much of the cheese itself along with the rind. However, if you’re really not a fan of cheese rinds, use a butter knife to scrape off as much of the rind as you can without losing the cheese below." —Emma Christensen, Simply Recipes General Manager

9. Vegan Mushroom Gravy

"Miso adds extra depth of savory flavor to this vegan gravy, but it's okay to skip it if you don't have it on hand." —Sally Vargas, Simply Recipes Contributor

10. Sweet Potato Casserole With Pecans

"Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, and in a casserole, there are sweeteners added on top of that. If you want to cut down on the sweet taste of this dish, try cutting the maple syrup in half, or omitting it completely. You can also just make half the topping, which will give up a little of crunchiness, but the casserole will have less sugar." —Lisa Lin, Simply Recipes Contributor
