Vegan Holiday Recipes: Let’s Get Started with Starters.

We eat buffet style for the holidays in my family, so there’s really no such thing as “coursing” for us. That said, these are the vegan holiday starters that will get your appetites revving! Family favorites include the Focaccia Rossa (which Anthony threatens to eat entirely in one sitting) and the Vegan Dinner Rolls (which my nephew Liam tries to eat in one sitting).

Let’s Get That Main Energy!

I generally think of “mains” as the dishes that you put in the center of your holiday table. I also tend to think of them as being higher in protein. These vegan holiday recipes are the ones I would classify as the “showstoppers.” Lookin’ a little sparse? Don’t worry, ‘ll be adding to them in the weeks to come, but also, there’s a whole Korean Foods section below with a ton of “main energy” recipes, too! Family favorite is the Lasagna, hands-down. My lasagna ROCKS!

Korean Food Worth Celebrating.

Not surprisingly, in my household, we always have Korean food on the holiday table. Yup, you’ll see Japchae side-by-side with Mac ‘n’ Cheese. I mean, how amazing is THAT? I definitely subscribe to the “use the holidays as an excuse to make your favorite foods,” in lieu of sticking to some arbitrarily “traditional” menu. One item we ALWAYS have on the menu for the holidays is kimchi jjigae. It’s not really my thing, tbh, but my Uncle basically REQUIRES it every year!

The Sweetest Endings: Holiday Desserts.

I mean, at this point, I’m not even embarrassed at how my dessert catalogue is the single largest category on my blog, lol. I’m an unapologetic fan of the Great British Bake Off and every time I watch an episode, I end up needing to veganize at least three more things! This vegan holiday recipe page has identified those dessert recipes that I think are worthy of the “holiday” tag (sometimes just because they look festive). The obvious family favorite is my Dreamy Tiramisu (which is OUTSTANDING). But the Blueberry Cobbler is a close runner-up!
