The base ingredients in falafels are so healthy, but most falafels prepared in restaurants—or even pre-packaged in stores—are either deep-fried or filled with artificial ingredients (or both!). This falafel recipe uses traditional ingredients like chickpeas, garlic, onions, and fresh herbs…but they’re baked instead of fried and they’re oil free! You can even make them gluten-free…

They’re easy to make and practically fool-proof, and the cookie dough can even be balled up and stored in the freezer so fresh-baked cookies are always minutes away. These cookies are a veganized version of an old family…
One of my absolute favorite holiday memories is making holiday cookies with my mom and my great aunt! We’d make simple sugar cookies with icing, and it was always so much fun to cut out the cookies and ice them with pretty colors. I remember one of my first few years as a vegan, when…
