As most of our community may know, I am a total foodie and I’m also vegan. Typically, most holiday dishes don’t always cater to a vegan diet or plant-based diet, but that doesn’t mean we have to miss out. For over 20 years, I have made countless dishes that are just as yummy as non-vegan dishes and are also filled with the holiday spirit. Here are some vegan recipes for your holiday cooking and baking needs.
