For the Foodie
SSV Planting Our Roots Ebook

Food has always been the centerpiece in both of our households growing up; it brought the whole family together night after night with good conversation and a whole lot of love. We not only want to share the importance of family and food, but also the fun and ease of creating vegan versions of our favorite childhood recipes without having to forego any nostalgic and authentic flavors of each dish.
Plus it is currently on sale for just $5 (no code required)!
What you will find in this ebook:
- 40 brand new recipes, including veganized Filipino and Italian classics we grew up eating such as: pancit, caponata, kare kare, giambotta, afritada and more!

We have been using their products for years now and could not recommend them enough!
DIY Vegan Cookie Platter
When I (Jasmine) was in school and working a minimum wage job, the holidays were always a hard time for me because gifts were way out of my budget. So, something that I started doing (and still do to this day) is make baked goods for my loved ones. What I would do was purchase good quality second hand plates from thrift stores, make 3-4 cookie recipes and package them all up with some wrapping or tissue paper. It was easy to make plus helped me put together 5-6 gifts at once so it also saved some time! Here are a few recipes that I think would be perfect for your cookie platter:
- Classic Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Peppermint Meltaway Christmas Cookies
- Cinnamon Twist Christmas Cookies (8-Ingredients)
- Gluten-Free Thumbprint Cookies (Vegan + 8-Ingredients)
- Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free)
- No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies (3-Ingredients + Gluten-Free)
- You can even purchase premade vegan cookie dough at the store…no one will know 😉 A great brand is Eat Pastry!
