    I always love these roundups Brandi, it makes me realize just how many totally mouthwatering options you have! And for every meal too, the breakfast section is especially calling to me with all those towering fabulously fluffy pancake stacks. Fall flavors are your jam I’d say. And chocolate of course 😀

    Best round up eva!!!!!! Man girl you got my head spinning. I want to make something for my coworkers in December and after I saw you insta post on those Double Chocolate Espresso Almond Cookies I was thinking those would be it. But now I am like ooh oooh cinnamon coffee chocolate chip muffins. Yum. I think those are going to have to be the winner since they are gluten free so therefore I can eat those too. Yum.

    Oh and those mashed potatoes look amazing. Before going vegan my mothers mashed potatoes were like my favorite thing ever and although hers were not buttermilk mashed potatoes they were absolutely amazing, so I am definitely wanting to find a vegan yummy and comforting mashed potato recipe and I am sure yours will do that trick.

    Thanks so much for this great round up, makes things so much easier when trying to generate ideas for the Holidays.

    Your the best.
