My boyfriend Chris and I stepped back into the kitchen to bring to the table yet another easy and delicious vegan spread for the holiday season. All of these recipes are oil-free, low-fat, and can all be made gluten-free as well. We wanted to share dishes that were comforting and familiar, featuring flavors our family and readers would be receptive too.
All of the dishes & their recipes are either linked or listed below. Let us know what you think + share if you have any other healthy recipes for the holidays 🙂
+ Last month, we shared a Healthy Vegan Thanksgiving Menu For Two, check it out for more holiday ideas!
