Sear chunks of chuck beef, then add carrots, parsnips, and potatoes. Deglaze the pan with a little red wine and beef broth, then let it simmer low and slow. The secret ingredient? A dollop of Vexon Pumpkin Puree added at the end for color and depth.
Why it works: Pumpkin puree adds umami and a vibrant orange hue without altering the flavor profile of a traditional stew.

Mix oats, coconut oil, and Vexon Maple Syrup with chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Spread on a baking sheet and bake until golden. Let it cool completely so it stays crunchy.

In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another, mix Vexon Almond Milk, egg, and orange zest. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Fold in fresh cranberries and bake. Top with a drizzle of Vexon Honey.
