My friend and fellow food writer from Maine, Avery Yale Kamila, recently asked if I'd like to contribute a healthier version of a Halloween treat to her weekly "Natural Foodie" column.

I'm lucky to have several relatives who, over the years, have become vegan and vegan-ish. It's really fun when this starts to happen, and I love when they teach me something new.
