Holiday recipe roundup from Finding Vegan

2014 findingvegan.com holiday link love

Today, in an interruption of the sugary glop you normally see flowing through this blog, we (some of the bloggers who are on Finding Vegan, that is) have prepared for you a ginormous list of links to 100% vegan recipes that you may find helpful in your holiday preparations. It's actually super convenient. You scroll through all of the recipes, start feeling really hungry, make a sandwich, then return to your computer to bookmark whatever it is you want to make for Christmas dinner! Or any holiday, really! Deliciousness doesn't discriminate.

Hopefully you will enjoy the recipes featured here. And so without further ado, here they are. Um I mean one more ado, from Kathy Patalsky of Healthy Happy Life:

"There are some amazing vegan recipes, books, features and more out there on the internet, but it can be challenging to track down great content sometimes! That is where FindingVegan.com comes in. FV features recipes and more from the best vegan-friendly bloggers on the web! And this year, we FV asked some of its contributors to share their best content in a MEGA-amazing vegan round-up! Check out all that is going on in the vegan community!"

Okay NOW here are the recipes (plus some other neat but non-edible stuff too). Try not to drool all over your keyboard (or phone, ya filthy pleb).
