A great breakfast is the best way to meet a chilly autumn morning, and Wendy and Jess over at Food Header have hit the jackpot with their Cheesy Grits with Seared Mushrooms. Rich, creamy and flavor-packed, this dish will warm you up and sustain your energy through a busy day.
The two BFFs are Registered Dietitians, so they create recipes with nutrition in mind. Swap out the eggs and dairy for plant-based alternatives for a vegan option that’s just as delicious.

What would Fall be in a Black household without sweet potatoes? From pies to yams (and yes, we know sweet potatoes and real yams are technically not the same thing!), the humble tuber makes several appearances on our tables during the cooler months.
Michelle over at Healthier Steps offered up a heavenly alternative to the often sugar and butter-filled delicacy we’ve come to love. Her Jamaican Sweet Potato Pudding highlights classic island flavors with a twist – it’s vegan and gluten-free!
