It's that time of year... again. The season of more time with family and friends, the season of giving gifts — and getting them, too. Yes, it's the holidays: For some, it's the most wonderful time of year... and for others, not so much. No matter where you fall in that spectrum, there's one thing that can really elevate your state — and it's gratitude.
Tired of explaining your dietary restrictions to your family every year? Want to try some healthy, vegan dishes to spice up your Thanksgiving celebration?

You'll feel totally satisfied... but not stuffed like a turkey!

Because, yes, there are easy snacks and appetizers out there that don't require a) a cart full of ingredients, b) 26 steps and c) the skill to cut a cranberry into perfect thirds! (Why would you ever need to do that?)
