Instructions

  1. FOR THE CRANBERRY SAUCE: Combine everything in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes until thick. (I made mine the day before and refrigerated overnight)
  2. FOR THE LENTILS: Combine everything in a pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook uncovered for about 20 minutes.
  3. FOR THE BROWN RICE STUFFING: Combine the carrots, mushrooms, and celery in a saucepan. Add 1/4 cup water or veggie broth. Bring to high heat, then reduce to medium, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until all the veggies are fork tender.
  4. Add the brown rice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm up the rice. Turn off the heat and mash with a potato masher until stuffing textured.
  5. FOR THE SWEET POTATOES: Preheat the oven to 450F. Chop the sweet potato into large chunks. Spread out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 450F for about ?25 minutes.
