I mean… These are just moutwatering. They are very easy to make, just remember to make enough, because if you do not eat them all, someone else will.
Cheesy Leek & Sage Parcels
The combination of roasted peppers and walnuts is one of my favorite, and I have periods where i will eat some version of this sauce everyday for weeks. Just give this a try.

Fall and winter is mushroom time. This is a scrumptious and luxurious recipe. If you don't have dried mushrooms for the stock, it is fine to omit them, or sub for fresh mushrooms.
Vegan mushroom risotto
This recipe is delicious, and very forgiving. Swap sweat potatoes for regular, or the other way around. Don't have black lentils? Use some other legume, or try subbing in some grains. This is my go to when I want something to feed my soul.

Sometimes, I will make this in a big container, and have a spoonfull every time i open the fridge. You can also plate it up nice and share, but no one will shame you for keeping it all to yourself, because this is absolutely addicting.
Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Juicy and sweet! You don´t even have to make the sauce, or you can try a different one. The cake is the star of the show here. Polenta is not something commonly used where I am from (Scandinavia), but I purchased a big bag a while ago to test it out, and this is one of the things I made. Safe to say I will be buying another bag of polenta.
