I truly admire my daughter, Maddy, for her ability to choose a vegan lifestyle and stick to it the way that she does. We have a lot of family dinners around here and there are sometimes very few choices for her to eat, even though I try to make sure there are some vegan choices. Also, there are a lot of temptations!
Just yesterday we had a big dinner and there was delicious Texas Sheet Cake! Definitely not vegan and Maddy had to pass on it as she ate her rice and fruit choices. I felt bad for her, even though she was uncomplaining. I know that I do not have that kind of will power. Well, while I searched for my Texas Sheet Cake recipe, I came across another old recipe that I had forgotten about. It is this Goofy Chocolate Cake that has no eggs, no milk and can easily be sweetened in a vegan way. Since there were many people here yesterday and the Texas Cake is just about gone, I decided to make up this cake this morning as a surprise for Madalynn! She deserves a reward.

Thank you for your support. On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me 12 Drummers Drumming... so I made breadstick drumsticks! Garlic Sesame Grissini in fact. Actually Maddy made them for me because my original plan didn't work out. Sometimes recipe testing is just like that, nothing turns out the way you want, but it helps to have a great team around you who can help you out and come up with something even better in the end. Well I'm so glad she took over because her breadsticks came out much more beautiful and tasty than mine. And we're sharing the recipe with you now! Garlic Sesame GrissiniGrissini is a long, crunchy breadstick that originated in Italy. They're great for appetizers, snacks, or eating with soups. They're also beautiful and would be a great addition to a charcuterie board or a table spread. Because Maddy made these that means they're actually vegan friendly (just substitute agave for the honey), which means all your friends and family can happily munch away on these tasty treats. Make sure to make extra because these are sure to go fast! You want to get these nice and long (at least 16 inches) so having even portions of dough is helpful. I love to use my bench scraper to help me cut and shape dough easily. Plus it has a little ruler on it which is helpful for measuring out portions of dough! And when it comes time to clean up, the scraper easily scrapes up any dough stuck to my counter (just be careful not to scratch your countertop if you don't have stone countertops). This concludes our 12 Days of Christmas Recipes series, but don't worry we have more fun posts planned for this week. If you're wondering what we made for the other 11 days I'll link them below.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me Eleven Pipers Piping!
Piping churros that is. In my opinion, churros are an excellent holiday treat. They’re quick to make, sweet and flavorful, and super easy to make extra festive! These churro bites make the perfect shareable dessert and paired with the peppermint chocolate sauce for dipping, they get taken to the next level! As a bonus, they are totally vegan! Check out the recipe below and as always, read to the bottom for my pro tips that will make this recipe even easier and better suited for the holidays. My Pro Tips

It’s the eighth day of Christmas, but there are no maids a milking here. Instead, there’s a vegan pumpkin eggnog recipe for you! Traditionally made with milk, cream, and (obviously) eggs, this vegan version uses plant based milk, coconut cream, and a variety of other ingredients to create this eggnog and pumpkin pie crossbreed.
I tried out SEVERAL different versions of this recipe, and it has finally received an emphatic thumbs up from a judge who doesn’t even like coconut or nutmeg. So you know it’s a winner! Vegan Pumpkin Eggnog
