Vegan Buddha Bowl with Roasted Chickpeas, Blood Orange, and Avocado

Healthy eating is epitomized by this Vegan Buddha Bowl. No flavor is sacrificed. Delicious and filling, this bowl includes roasted chickpeas, blood orange, avocado, nuts, and leafy greens to top it off. Plus, a deliciously nutty tahini flavor to top it off.

Eggnog Cheesecake with Fresh Mint

Cheesecake is one of our favorite holiday desserts, and it’s made all the better with freshly harvested mint. This mouth-watering recipe uses nutmeg, cinnamon, and eggnog to create a warm favor, which fresh mint contrasts with beautifully.
