Yesterday, I received my third wedding invitation in the mail in the last two months—it is definitely wedding season. Many couples choose the pretty colors of autumn as the backdrop for their big day, including my sister.

That’s right, my sister is getting married next week, and because I’ve been denying this truth ever since the day she got engaged and I suddenly became a Maid of Honor, I had to scramble to put together a bridal shower menu. Luckily, the VegWeb recipe index is bursting with delicious recipes just waiting to be enjoyed.

All pumpkin everything. Are you ready? Surely by now you’ve seen all the pumpkin-spiced lattes, muffins, cookies, and more! Walking down the aisles of our nearest grocery store, we’ve even seen pumpkin spiced-almonds, candles, air fresheners, and flavored coffee beans. We're keeping our eyes peeled for the pumpkin-spiced soy creamers!

There are so many reasons to love brunch––mimosas, for one; flaky pastries and fresh fruit, for another; and the sheer fact that it is the combination of two of our favorite meals: breakfast and lunch. As our favorite season comes to an end, celebrate the last few warm days of summer with the perfect brunch menu.

Few things get our engines revving as loudly as a plate piled high with pasta (well, maybe vegan doughnuts, and chocolate. Ok, maybe also dairy-free ice cream…). And that isn’t just because of the carbohydrate-rich bonus of one of our favorite meals. While it’s true that we’ve been known to carbo-load before a big race—or just before a big night out of dancing with friends—pasta gets a star (or bowtie) in our books because of its filling nature, delicious taste, and extreme versatility.
