IT’S THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

Let’s make some tasty, healthy food, shall we?

If you’re anything like me, you still haven’t quite figured out what you’re serving at all of the upcoming holiday parties- not to mention that my birthday is right in the middle of Christmas and New Year’s Eve, so I have to figure out what kind of cake I want to eat, too- and your stress levels are slowly starting to rise. So, to help you out, I’ve rounded up all of my favorite holiday-appropriate recipes from the blog, to help keep the next week as low-stress as possible.

Below you’ll find healthier twists on the classics that don’t compromise on flavor AT ALL. They’re all simple, wholesome, and 100% satisfying- in fact, I feed them to the ‘picky’ eaters in my extended family all the time, and no one is the wiser.

I’ve labelled recipes below with a V for vegan and GF for gluten-free, just to make it easier to navigate for those of you with allergies, etc. I hope you love them!
