your best vegan holiday recipe & story
With the holidays just around the corner its about time to break out that recipe(s) that you only make once a year. Weather its to make a wonderful vegan meal for your family or to take to your relatives house so you have at least one thing to eat.
That reminds me of last year, we decided to not attend the usual family feasting. We made a wonderful vegan dinner and invited everyone to come to our place. I would have to say that it turned out better then expected. Some of our family showed up and ate our vegan food. To their surprise, they loved it! (No surprise to me I knew it was going to be good!) But those are the only people that showed. This year I think we are going to do things a little different because of our new little one, but I know our parents will make us some good vegan food.
But anywho…lets hear some of those favoriate recipes, and if you have a good holiday story lets hear that too.
