I've assembled twelve delicious alternatives to traditional holiday favorites that will leave you feeling nourished over the holidays!
While I believe you should feel free to eat some traditional foods with your family this Christmas, why not surprise them by bringing a plant-forward alternative to the table.
They may discover it's just as delicious or even better than their traditional recipe.

I just looked up several of these recipes, and they look really good. I like the ideas for vegetable pot pies, especially the one with mashed potato topping, as we have a LOT of potatoes in the root cellar from our garden this past year.
