Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate it :)
I am going to be honest and say that I have never tried real eggnog, but if it compares at all to this, then I guess I now love 'egg' nog. 
One thing that I dislike about the holidays is all the stress I come under when it comes down to the cooking. I always try to plan ahead but, well, things don't always go as planned. I decided that this year I would make simple, easy vegetable dishes that I could share with those of you in the same shoes.
Brussels sprouts always get a bad rep for being stinky and bitter, but that's because your mamas were cooking them wrong for you as a kid. This recipe will make you appreciate these little gems and hopefully share them with your family during the holidays. 
My next recipe for this Holiday season, a Cocoa Cherry Holiday Fudge that is gluten-free AND packed with plant-based protein! So far, I have shared my Healthy Gingerbread Smoothie (low-fat) and my Easy Vegan Holiday Chocolate Bark, with a few more up my sleeve these next 5 days!
Fudge has been an integral part of my family's Christmas celebrations ever since I can remember. My mom's friend Kathy makes a fudge that my dad absolutely cannot resist, but ever since I went vegan and my family has been more mindful of our diet, he knows that her fudge is not what he should be eating. He asked if I could make a protein packed vegan fudge recipe, so I played around in the kitchen and came up with this. 
What's Christmas without a gingerbread? I've made traditional gingerbread, gingerbread cookies, and even gingerbread oatmeal in the past, but never have a made a simple and healthy gingerbread smoothie. This was easy to make and definitely satisfied the gingerbread fix that I needed.
Guess what, another Worldwide Holiday GIVEAWAY for the amazing community here on my blog! Enter to win a full box of @squarebars in your flavor of choice via @iherbinc! Square Bars are a gluten-free, organic, non-GMO vegan protein bar that I absolutely love! They remind me...
I remember how much I used to love Chinese Orange Chicken when I was a kid, and how often my family and I would dine at Panda Inn and Panda Express growing up in Los Angeles. Oh how I DO NOT miss those days. It's hard to believe how unhealthy and careless my lifestyle used to be, and how much it has changed over the years. I am grateful that I have cleared my mind, discovered a healthier lifestyle with alternatives to old favorites such as this low-fat Chinese Orange Cauliflower recipe.
I think it's safe to say that I am obsessed with this. I told my family I had to make it 3 times to "recipe test" it, but honestly I just wanted to have this 3 times last week and still wanted to make it again. SO GOOD.
