Happy Holidays, I hope you're having a great December wherever you are :)
I am here today to share with you a recipe that is perfect to enjoy in front of the fire with a cup of hot cocoa or almond milk, and this cold weather makes me love this bread with it's warming spices even more.
THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS HERE :)
Regardless of which holiday you celebrate, this Vegan Braided Cream Cheese & Jam Danish + the Mint Chocolate Chip Cake and Almond & Cinnamon Marshmallow Treats shared below are all calling for a spot at your table ????
I'm so excited to have been able to collaborate once again with Ahnest Veggie and Yvonne's Vegan Kitchen to bring you all 3 must try vegan recipes for your holiday table! We delivered some awesome recipes for Thanksgiving, and I promise you these are nothing less! A vegan danish, come on, you should already be sold on that!
There's nothing like a warm cup of hot cocoa on a cold December day in front of the Christmas Tree :) Growing up, my family often gathered around the tree at night and my mom would make us a big pot of hot cocoa to share, so it is definitely a must have tradition for us every year.
This year I thought it would be fun to make a homemade mix to gift to my family + you all as well. Instead of bringing you an average vegan hot cocoa mix, I'm going to share with you a chai spiced one!
My boyfriend Chris and I stepped back into the kitchen to bring to the table yet another easy and delicious vegan spread for the holiday season. All of these recipes are oil-free, low-fat, and can all be made gluten-free as well. We wanted to share dishes that were comforting and familiar, featuring flavors our family and readers would be receptive too.
All of the dishes & their recipes are either linked or listed below. Let us know what you think + share if you have any other healthy recipes for the holidays :)
+ Last month, we shared a Healthy Vegan Thanksgiving Menu For Two, check it out for more holiday ideas!
I always love myself a gooood gingery stir fry, and this one hits the spot. I put together this recipe 2 days ago, and I have already made it twice since then. Not only is it a simple recipe, but it keeps well for a few days and when served with rice, is a substantial and nutrient dense meal.
Always be sure to use organic & non-GMO tofu, and for this recipe, opt for extra firm to avoid crumbling.
This recipe is a part of my Healthy Oil-Free Vegan Christmas Menu from my 2015 dinner with my boyfriend Chris. We worked together in the kitchen to put together a few dishes to share with you all here on our blogs, to give you some inspiration and ideas for easy recipes you can try out during your next {holiday} gathering or dinner party.
Okay so it's not exactly hot chocolate weather here in Los Angeles (it is currently 80F and sunny), but I know a lot of my readers are from colder areas, props to you all I don't know if I could survive!
When I was living with my grandmother growing up, on New Year's Eve, she made my family her famous cinnamon hot chocolate. She would melt a big chunk of Mexican Chocolate with whole milk, cinnamon sticks and piloncillo. Man, was it tasty. But also, sooo not good for us.
On New Year's Eve, my mom and I thought it would be fun to create a new, healthy and vegan hot chocolate recipe for the years to come. What I came up with was this superfood hot chocolate, a recipe that is definitely here to stay.
