    The Christmas holidays are usually filled with lots of sweets, treats, and unchecked guilt. Vegetarians, however, often find themselves browsing the array of dishes, searching for something that fits in with their diet.

    Roasted Mushrooms with Herbed Quinoa

    Instead of letting Aunt Betty bring the boxed rice pilaf to Christmas dinner again, volunteer to bring this herbed quinoa. It is loaded with fresh herbs, juicy mushrooms, and crunchy pumpkin seeds.

    Chewy Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies

    Chewy chocolatey cookies studded with bits of broken candy canes and chocolate chips.

    Brussel Sprout Wild Rice Pilaf

    This is a rice pilaf for the adults, only. This gourmet recipe is surprisingly simple, though your guests will never know it. Sliced brussel sprouts, dried cherries, and a delicious sage dressing will impress everyone this year.

    Cranberry Bread

    There is always too much cranberry sauce left over after Christmas, but don’t let it go to waste! Whip up this easy and healthy cranberry bread that is made with a whole cup of your homemade cranberry sauce. It is delicious, moist, and healthy, all very important things in amazing homemade bread.

    Faux Rango Mints

    These little chocolates are like presents in themselves because not only are they delicious but they are also very good for you! The coconut oil gives you a boost of healthy fats and the raw cacao provides an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. So this Christmas, you don’t need to worry about overindulging in treats because this treat is good for your brain, heart, and skin.

    Roasted Sicilian Potatoes

    The traditional potato dish usually has mashed potatoes with milk and butter, which is a bit boring. This recipe throws in a bunch of fresh herbs, garlic, olives, and raisins instead, giving the potato-side-dish much more importance at this year’s holiday feast.

    Chai-Spiced Cranberry Apple Pie

    If you’re feeling ambitious with your dessert task this year, give this recipe a try. It is not just any apple pie recipe, either. The chai spices and fresh cranberries give it an exciting pop of flavor. Plus, the crumble top bakes to a perfect crisp, making this pie a little bit gourmet.

    This holiday season doesn’t have to be the same as all the years, before. Instead, give some of these delicious vegetarian recipes a try to wow your family and friends!
