(Including my Top 5 Tips to make it extra special! Plus, a full menu, with recipes!) Happy December! I hope this finds everyone healthy and having a nice holiday season (and winter break, for those on holiday!). I signed my girls up for winter camp, but then the current "surge" happened and we chose to keep the girls home. Disappointing, but also an opportunity! I LOVE afternoon tea … [Read more...]
Eco-Friendly Gift Wrapping
Tis the season for GIFT WRAP! I've been doing it often for the past month between Hanukkah gifts for 8 nights for 3 kids (!!!) not to mention my parents and other relatives and friends, along with my son's 2nd birthday and now Christmas/Holiday Gifts for teachers and helpers in our lives. Lately, I feel like all I do is wrap something! For years, I have often reused gift bags in good … [Read more...]
Baked Chocolate Donuts
If you are newsletter subscriber, you know all about my vegan/gluten free apple cider donut recipe. Well, as promised, here is the vegan/gluten free CHOCOLATE version I hinted at! My kids and I made these for Hanukkah this year. SO yummy and a great activity to do with the kiddos! These were fast, easy and surprisingly REALLY yummy!!! I also got a chance to finally use my new donut pans … [Read more...]
Edible Menorah
My girls came home from Hebrew school with a super cute craft: an edible Hanukkiah (menorah)! Great idea, but I wasn't thrilled with the execution. In the first place, we are still in an ongoing pandemic. Edible projects you assemble with your hands might not be the best idea for kindergartners. Secondly, instead of allergen-friendly (or vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc) … [Read more...]
Homemade Applesauce
Homemade Applesauce is super easy, and tastes delicious! I make this recipe to go with latkes on Hanukkah (like my Baked Sweet Potato Latkes or Zucchini/Potato Latkes!), but it's delicious any time of the year. It's a great way to use up aging apples from the orchard or farmers' market as well! Homemade Applesauce Ingredients: 4 medium-to-large red apples (Macintosh, Honeycrisp, … [Read more...]
Stuffed Butternut Squash Roast
Every year someone asks me what vegans eat for Thanksgiving! First of all, just about every side and dessert is or can be made plant based (and that's the best part anyway, right?!) But I can understand the question. I can't exactly veganize a turkey! My family and I also aren't big fans of processed foods, including Tofurky or other highly processed grocery store items claiming to be a vegan … [Read more...]
Plant-based Thanksgiving Menu
We are excited to have our first Thanksgiving in our new home! We already adopted our annual turkey. This year the girls picked Alexandra! (Last year it was Anna & Elsa, the year before that it was Bowie, and before that Sandy…. I bet you didn't know I had such a big family! LOTS of turkeys! :)- ) I just finished putting together my Holiday Gift Guide, my girls are going to help me make … [Read more...]
Miso Glazed Brussels Sprouts
My husband and I have a long-running joke. We'll be eating at a restaurant (or since the pandemic, dining on take-out at home) and I will take a bite of something and I'll idly ask him "You know what version of [some dish] is my favorite?" And he'll answer "yours?" YEP! :) With a few notable exceptions, I usually prefer my own cooking to stuff we get out. I use less salt, sugar and oil than … [Read more...]
