From Guiltless Crispy Carrot Chips to Vegan Apple Cranberry Cheesecake

— December 17, 2013 — Lifestyle
Preparing vegan holiday meals seems like a daunting task because there are so many ingredients to be wary of. Typically vegans stay away from eggs, dairy and a number of other other animal products, which means they definitely won’t be eating any of the Christmas turkey or ham like the rest of the family.

There are vegan-friendly versions of these holiday classics but for those who are conscious of avoiding soy or imitation meat products all together, there are plenty of other dishes that can be spread out on the holiday table that make tasty cruelty-free appetizers, entrées and desserts.

Fall and winter is the season for delicious root vegetables like carrots, onions, leeks and potatoes, which make fantastic soups as well as sides that will please vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike.
