In another chapter of Bringing Party Food That I Can Eat, I give you my latest recipe I am loving. This was my contribution to a recent holiday party, and everyone loved the presentation!

I actually love parties where guests bring food, potluck style. Being vegan, I am always guaranteed I will have something to eat.

I do have to say, I am so appreciative of so many friends who do make a point to have vegan options. At a BBQ last summer…

Rich Cauliflower Creamed Spinach – a tasty remake of the classic! this easy recipe is one most everyone can enjoy – soy, gluten, oil, nut free and low carb!

Rich Cauliflower Creamed Spinach

I have pretty much been plant based – vegetarian most of my life.

Celebrations over the years often included a nice night out at a restaurant. In my family, that restaurant was often the favorite steakhouse in Portland.

On those nights, my dinner was a lovely selection of sides – baked potato, salad, creamed spinach.

In no way is this a complaint! I love sides! I love a whole dinner made up from sides and starters!

As a result, that rich creamed spinach – a classic on a steakhouse menu – reminds me of …

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!
