Our 100% Vegan Thanksgiving Feast!
This year I was lucky enough to have
my boyfriend Chris by my side, not only to join me in the kitchen, but to also help me stay grounded and grateful this holiday season. He always brings such positive energy into our time spent together, and somehow is always able to create a stress-free environment, which is exactly what I needed preparing for this day. We spent pretty much all of Wednesday and Thursday prepping what you see below, and what a whirlwind it was! In a good way, of course ;)
Chris and I vlogged our two days together as well, check out the video below!

Below I have share
all of the recipes* for you to enjoy not only on Thanksgiving, but with your loved ones year round. Remember to celebrate what IS, and not to focus on what IS NOT. Love yourself and choose health, always <3
I am going to try and share my upcoming visits to the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market in case you're not already following me on YouTube (check it out for more!).
One of the most frequently asked questions I get in comments and emails is that regarding saving money or living on a budget as a high carb and/or high raw vegan. Good news!

This year was our first Christmas together, spent here in Los Angeles. Chris moved here a few months back in October, and what an experience it has been having him here. The connection we have made in such a short amount of time is one is something I have never experienced before, we resonate on so many different levels and I am so happy to have him here by my side to help me grow as both a person and a blogger <3 I was nervous for this holiday as I wanted my gifts for him to be perfect, and I think I nailed it...I hope :p I tried to get him a little something for every aspect of his life, and I think that these gifts would also be great for any of you looking to get your loved one a little somethin' as well :)
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 :)

It has taken me quite a while to round up these products, I am constantly coming across new vegan, natural, minimal ingredient brands to try out, and more often than not I am finding myself loving each one!
I decided that I would list the ingredients on this post as well. I know that it may get a bit wordy, but it is always convenient to have all of the information archived into one in order for you to assess them alongside one another :) *Truly Organic ingredients will be up soon!
