hey, y’all!

We made it through another Daylight Savings Time!

Personally, I LOVE IT. We are at the beginning of what will eventually be daylight until nine pm on the West Coast, and this time of year is what I live for! Fresh air, warmer days, sunshine…

The last couple days, we all see …

Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection

February 11, 2018 by Kristina Sloggett 8 Comments

this Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection has all the pinks and reds and sweet and sparkle that any of your Valentines could wish for.

Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection

ah, Valentines Day.

the holiday so many like to dislike.

Single or attached, I have always liked Valentines Day. Single and spending it with friends, or in a relationship and celebrating.

Jason and I typically do not celebrate with a night out, and these days we may not always do gifts.

Well, since getting married, we actually do the traditional anniversary gifts on this day. Because Valentines Day is the day we secretly got married in 2014. Yep, we were married with just a few loved ones as witnesses, with my brother in law officiating. Karaoke and cupcakes after. It was a perfect Valentines Day, and later that same year – in the fall – we had the big ceremony and party.

Also just as glorious, with all of our loved ones in the same room – such a vibrant concentration of super love.

Anyway, not everyone likes Valentines Day.

and that is okay – I get it.

I will always like it, and I will always create pinks and reds in sweet flavored treats!

I don’t need a card or fancy night out, and I definitely tell ALL of my loved ones on a regular basis just how important they are to me. Commercialization or not, I still love the holiday about love.

So, whether you are celebrating or not, I imagine you too can find something you like from our Vegan Valentines Sweet Recipe Collection…

Hearty Protein Rich Portobello Wellingtons – these individual entrees are plant based fancy! crisp pastry surrounds rich and savory goodness.

I have been making these for years.

I call them Portobellingtons.

This savory stuffed portobello wrapped in flaky pastry is my favorite holiday entree. Holiday or not, though – these make a great comfort food dinner. In the cold winter months, I love to make these on a weekend.

Some of the flavors here were borrowed from …

Vegan Plant Based Holiday Recipe Collection

November 14, 2017 by Kristina Sloggett 4 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!
