Vegan Plant Based Holiday Recipe Collection

November 14, 2017 by Kristina Sloggett 5 Comments

Vegan Plant Based Holiday Recipe Collection – from appetizers and breakfasts to sides and desserts, we have you covered for the most wonderful time of the year!

I love the holidays.

Parties, getting together with friends for events, time with family.

For the actual holiday, if I am in town, I am generally at mom’s pretty early in the morning, so we can spend the whole day. We cook, we eat, we talk and laugh and play cards and watch movies and eat and drink.

I can safely say the food plays a pretty big part of our holiday events. I love to plan the menus, try new recipes to serve alongside the classics I cannot do without.

Like many things, half the fun is the planning.

Having been a vegetarian for most of my life, I never cared for the main course. I was all about the appetizers, snacks, sides, and desserts. Even now as a vegan, I can still make a great dinner with a plate full of sides.

and that is what I am sharing with you today – my many years of vegan holiday recipes.

Sides, snacks, breakfast, appetizers, desserts – most are also gluten free.

In no particular order – have fun browsing through!

Tangy Lemon Crabless Cake Salad – a quick, easy, and tasty salad with layers of flavor and texture – warm plant based crabby cakes over crisp cool greens.

When I wake up and it is dark and cold, and it is still cold when I return home from tennis, I want something warm. Earlier this week, I also wanted that something to be light, fresh, and bright – like the summer we just had.

Fall is my favorite, do not get me wrong! You all know I love my comfort food as much as anyone. Still, sometimes I want bright and fresh.

and warm.

and fast.

Today, our Fast Food Friday non recipe takes me back to my childhood. Every Fourth of July, our family would meet at The Embarcadero for a weekend of contract rummy, cocktails…

Cashew Camembert – marvelously mild plant based cheese with the flavor of Camembert, this is a great addition to any appetizer cheese platter!

You all know how I love a snack tray – cheese platter – dinner of appetizers kind of thing. I also love to entertain – from the fancy party to the casual “stop by before the movie” or “come over after work for a snack and a seat in the sunshine…”

I like to assemble snack platters for any and all occasions, and they are super easy to create, with a mix of homemade cheeses, dips, and jams combined with store bought fillers like nuts, dried fruits, olives and my favorite, cornichons.

Pour some crisp cool white wine, and …
