Holiday Menu

If you don't have "roast beast" on Christmas Day, what do you have?

I think this year I would like to try Timbales. I found a great recipe from Fat Free Vegan.

Instead of rolls and mashed potatoes, I'm going to make a lovely Jewelled Salad:

• lettuce
• cabbage
• cilantro
• water chestnuts
• red, yellow and orange bell pepper
• carrots
• mandarin oranges

Should I serve roasted beets, or broccoli with orange-ginger sauce?

Eggnog from the Happy Herbivore is definitely in.




And for dessert, I can't wait to try Dr. Furhman's Pomegranate Poached Pears with Chocolate and Raspberry Sauces.

I hope your holiday is cheery and vibrant!
To your health and happiness,
Hailey
