Vegan Holiday Dinner Ideas | Tasty & Healthy

[@goober7810]

That lasagna looks meaaan! So I never really thought about it but most of Indian cuisine is pretty much vegan. And we don't use any of the fancy ingredients. I think you should try out a series or something where you try to make Indian food because a. It's pretty dang delicious and packed with flavour b. It's so versatile c. It's really really easy! (oh this would be so fun to watch. Please try it :)))

[@shanajones4401]

Riya YES!!!! I agree! Indian food is one of the best foods out there! 😫

[@devakipurohit7363]

Totally agree!

[@Lafemme17]

That's the kind of food I've been making the last couple of weeks

[@juliecampbell6320]

On Christmas Eve, all my family comes over & we have sandwiches!! SO non-traditional, but that's how we do it! We play games all night, open presents & just kind of snack as the night goes on!!

[@cassaroll-80]

Thank you so much for making vegan meals so easy to recreate. I come back to you because it's so easy yet detailed.

[@ishasharma3333]

Girl, you are so positive, I just love your all preparations. I made risotto rice it came out so nicely. I have been following your channel for a very long time. Thanks for helping me to incorporate so much spinach in my diet. Love you

[@jordanwaddell]

Yay! Best of luck!

[@jordanwaddell]

@@jennifernahomi9864 I have the same struggle sometimes too! I'm on a budget too, so I like ordering pantry staples from amazon or thrive market.

[@krysdekel]

Congrats. I've been a "vegan-leaning" vegetarian for 3 years. Best decision you can make. So long as your grocery store sells vegetables, plant based milk (almond, cashew, soy, etc), and spices, you can do it! No fancy products required. @caitlinshoemaker's channel is great for simple and delicious recipes and so is @jordanwaddell's (she just posted above so check her channel out). Happy cooking!

[@aishanicholee]

I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL TODAY AND IM LOVING IT. I honestly wanna be vegan so bad , but it will be easier to do once im living on my own

[@TyrellFrye]

Wow this all looks so good!!! Let’s keep growing this Vegan community 🌱🌱🌱💚💚💚

[@amyreynolds3933]

Cant wait to try the lasagna. Kiddo and I cant do tomatoes so a white sauce is a game changer! Thank you!!!

[@kathleenswenning9915]

Those recipes look delicious for anytime too! Thank you for making it GF and dairy free, that means so much in our family! Take care Caitlin! Love, ❤️Kathy

[@nataliguy5339]

Idk y but you always motivate me to cook my food Love you for that✨🎄

🎄here’s my Christmas tree Caitlin! And I would love to try both recipes they look so good!

[@amelienchen99]

Love those recipes, I'm definitely going to make the risotto because as you already said, who doesn't love mushrooms 😂😍 My Christmas dinner this year is going to be: portabello mushrooms topped with a Christmasy chestnut cranberry filling, roastet rosemary potatoes, brussel sprouts (ironically I'm spending Christmas in Brussels this year haha), red cabbage and a red wine gravy 😍 I'm suuuper excited!

[@rainbowofboxes8021]

Sounds yummy :)

[@veggiegirl8604]

🎄watching old videos...almost time for the holidays again.

[@Nicki13Lover]

I LOVE mushroom risotto, I can't wait to try this recipe!

[@veganpeace7890]

I need to make both!!

[@latishiastanley4945]

you are God sent I cant wait to create these recipes at home!!

[@shamanism295]

This is actually perfect. I've only really gone vegan this year so this was super helpful when I was thinking, what can I make for me over the holidays, thanks Caitlin! :)

[@VeganChefRon]

Wow! The risotto with portobello steaks and the lasagna both look amazing.

[@mairerodriguez6706]

I wanna try both! Will do the lasagna for my birthday this January

[@sopheco3432]

I already have my Christmas meals sorted but I'll definitely be trying the risotto once the festive season is over!

[@hayleym1483]

I love how you plated the mushroom risotto up with the extra mushrooms & asparagus!

[@sophieburke2549]

I am actually eating the white lasagna from stouffers right now and was wondering about a vegan option. Now I have one to try to make! 🎄

[@rainbowofboxes8021]

My family eats a basic Canadian Christmas dinner which includes vegan "turkey" (usually stuffed gardein), mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry/orange sauce, veggies (usually carrots & peas or broccoli, and a salad with vegan ranch dressing. For dessert we usually have strawberry rhubarb and or pumpkin pie, sometimes apple; with vegan ice cream or whipping cream. Later on we have nutnogg with christmas cookies and sing carols. I look forward to this "basic Canadian Christmas meal" every year! Which we only eat twice a year - Christmas & Thanksgiving (which is in October in Canada). #veganchristmas :D

[@NicAngels16]

I want to make the lasagna! Our Christmas morning tradition is eggs Benedict, since my family is not vegan, but the last couple months I’ve been 80/20 for health purposes

[@jordanwaddell]

That's awesome Nicole! :) I started out doing 80/20 for awhile and it made it much easier to eat more veggie without feeling restricted.

[@erykasr1]

Rewatching because I'm making the lasagna for dinner on Christmas. Already have all the ingredients

[@KB-hs7vh]

🎄🎄🎄 both recipes look so amazing! I can’t wait to try! Thanks for sharing great videos with us as always, Caitlin! 😊

[@freuleinhonig5790]

[@bernadettepalmer5700]

[@theresameier8144]

I am going to be making this Lasagna for Christmas and I'm so excited to try it out!!

[@KristinaBarder]

🎄I host Christmas eve every year and I always make a lasagna. This is my first vegan Christmas, and I have been searching for the perfect recipe. Done! So stoked. I'm probably going to sub the soy milk though, unfortunately. Whenever I use soy milk in a dish my non vegan family is like 🤢 they don't like the taste

[@jordanwaddell]

LOL my family HATES even the mention of soy milk too. I usually just sub with another unsweetened nondairy milk.

[@rainbowofboxes8021]

Try CASHEW :)

[@KristinaBarder]

I LOVE cashew milk. That's what il probably use. I find it to be the creamiest

[@gesas9755]

I love the intro of your video! So pretty with all the plants 🌿

[@licaleu5784]

Never made risotto like this! Very clever :) I will try it!

[@mimishimaineko1173]

I'll be making a hearty potato leek soup or Italian wedding soup (with vegan meatballs, of course!), and some fancy side dishes.

[@christinanicole5704]

You have out done yourself. Wow. Thank you so much.

[@veganmentaliron1750]

🎄that lasagna looks SO good!

[@MakeupByCassandra]

Omg I used to love that frozen lasagna! I’ll definitely be making this soon

[@TheDevilDarling]

Im not vegan but I never really liked risotto until I tried vegan mushroom risotto and it was eye opening. Your recipe looks delicious 😍

[@TheRachelEliza]

Ooh yes! I grew up withthe stouffers veggie lasagna too! Yum! Memories

[@lylasanjose3320]

These look great-I’m definitely making that lasagna soon!😳 My son and I are the only vegans, so I usually have to cook a lot if I want to eat....😬 My son picked out your cinnamon roll pancakes for Christmas breakfast along with roasted potatoes and fruit. I’m making your lentil loaf with mashed potatoes and gravy and we’re having lots of veggie sides. I’m making a peppermint chocolate pie with coco whip for dessert....yum! ☺️

[@livinwithnateceann3354]

Me and my wife made the lentil lasagna you made. It came out amazing and thank you.

[@blythesmith4521]

[@lexie9498]

🎄🎄 I hope you’re having a wonderful day love! I’ve been really enjoying these videos (:

[@sam5miy]

That lasagna looks so good I love the Stouffer's one. Can you give me a suggestion about the milk though? I have tried both almond milk and soy milk in vegan savory dishes and it tastes so sweet to me even though I buy unflavored unsweetened. Suggestions?

[@Sammmc99]

I've always had the same issue, especially with the Silk brand. Every time I've ever followed a recipe that included store bought milk, it gave the entire dish this weird flavor. I can't speak for Caitlin, but usually when a recipe calls for plant milk, I just blend some kind of nut/nut butter with water, and I'm able to get the richness that the plant milk is supposed to deliver without that weird flavor. In this case, I think homemade almond or cashew milk would work fine (there are plenty of recipes online!)

[@Ilonasworld]

lasagna looks so delicious to try out but where i live we dnt have alot of vegan products available , even nutritional yeast is is hardly available

[@milliphoebe4416]

Yay, i'm going to try to make the lasagna for christmas dinner :)

For the mushroom risotto, you said we have to serve it immediately. Does this mean we can’t save some for leftovers?
