Vegan Christmas Recipes, Christmas Cookies, Dinners Ideas, Christmas Desserts and more. Plan you holiday menu and gifts. Gluten-free Soy-free options
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone. December is a favorite time of the year in terms of meeting family and friends and loads of amazing food. I am not a fan of the grey winter in the PNW. Cold and snow is ok with a bit of sunshine every now and then.
If you are shopping for gifts this season, do drop by my gift guide from last year that includes biodegreadable toothbrushes made of bamboo, other everyday items as clothing shoes, Vegan cookbooks and Amazing People and Organizations we support. We alre also praying for and trying to find ways to help the people in Aleppo.
Onwards into 2017 with hope, love, and good food.

Everything looks amazing! Where do I begin?? I think for me, the Carrot Peanut soup and Cookie Dough Bars will be a good start.
I also really appreciate that so many options are gluten free. Thanks for creating all these great recipes and putting together this list.
