I’m heading to be with my family for a VERY large gathering of 23 immediate family members, 10 kids under 8 included. It’s so much fun and is truly one of my favorite days of the year. I love the hustle & bustle of the busy kitchen juxtaposed to the slowness of a national day off, sitting around the table together sharing what we’re all grateful for (the kids always have the most heart-warming answers, “World Peach!”), lazily watching football (read: napping) and finally tucking into bed with a warm heart, full belly and so much gratitude.

In honor of the holiday, here is a painfully easy, overnight mousse recipe that will be appreciated by everyone, non-vegans included.

Recipe: Vegan Pumpkin & Coconut Mousse

MOUSSE:
1 cup organic canned pumpkin
½ cup coconut cream
2 tablespoons agave syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
