| Stuffed Shells Stuffed shells would always make an appearance for the holidays at our house, but also throughout the year. Our Light and Creamy Ricotta made with silken tofu is heavenly stuffed into our shells—light, creamy and super tasty. Topped with our Basil Gravy and a creamy dollop of Cashew Mozzarella, these shells are just as good as the classic stuffed shells we remember. Wow! |

| Calzone Calzone would make an appearance a few times a year—always at Christmas and other holidays, or just because our dad “had a taste for it”. The Calzones of our childhood that dad would make were about a foot wide, 2 feet long, and 3 inches thick. Everyone loved them and looked forward to one every year. When the Calzone showed up, the party would literally pause and everyone would ooh and ahh. Dad would carry it in like he was carrying a giant platter of the most precious thing in the world (because to us, it was), with a big smile on his face. It was served right away as an appetizer, and this was only because we didn't want to wait until dinner. Dad would also make a “hot side” and a “sweet side”, for those who don’t “eat hot”. He would mark the Calzone with fork hole letters at the top that read “H” or “S”. Sometimes the filling on the hot side would turn pink because of all the crushed red pepper he added. Our plant-powered Calzone tastes almost exactly how we remember it—absolutely scrumptious. |

| Mini Cheesecakes When we were kids, our mom made these little cuties for parties and we loved them. She would always make half of them with cherries and half with blueberries. Hers were made with cream cheese cheesecake filling, a Nilla Wafer crust, and a gooey pie filling topper. We recreated them into a creamy, cheesy, tart and sweet all-plant version, and were transported right back to our 80’s childhood. Because they are a one-bite dessert, they are great to bring to parties—and, just look at how cute they are! |

| Holiday Nog I loved eggnog as a kid. It would only come around once a year, and sometimes it was spiked and I would sneak a glass. Shhh, don’t tell my mom! Rumor has it that back in colonial times, rum was known as "grog" and bartenders served grog in small wooden mugs called "noggins". Eggnog was first known as egg-n-grog, and later as "eggnog". Fun to know! Our Holiday Nog is a great dessert drink—rich, creamy and delicious. Serve it cold, in a wooden noggin of course, with a dash of nutmeg, or warmed up. It's a perfect after dinner holiday treat. |
