I appreciate the mention, so I hope this doesn’t sound like sour grapes. But my Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Avocado and Pecans is not a salad, plus you spelled the name of my blog wrong. Happy to share but I’d love it if you would fix those mistakes. And feel free to delete this too.
Thanks for the shout-out for my Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Avocado and Pecans. That’s been a huge hit in my family!
Wow, so many good ideas. I’m going to start with those garlic potatoes. I haven’t made garlic potatoes for years and yet they used to be my favorite! Can’t wait to try them. Thanks for all the good recipes.
So many delicious side dishes here – thanks for including mine! Thank you for sharing! can’t wait to try it all at home and report back with my results!
Thanks Anthony!
Just a mention that some recipes are using butter, therefore not actually vegan.
Hi Verna, I like Earth Balance vegan butter for any recipes calling for butter.
