The Holidays! Just like everyone else!

I'm going to go ahead and call my first Vegan christmas a complete success. I mean, how could I not? With  Fat Free Vegan's Sweet Potato Casserole, Vegan Dad's Pumpkin Pull Apart Rolls, Acorn Squash with Sage-Apple Rice from Vegan Girl's Guide to Life, and Isa Chandra Moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero's Maple Pecan pie, how could I go wrong?

The correct answer is: Only if I burn everything. Or miss crucial ingredients.

I didn't. So it didn't go wrong.

Also? It snowed today. Sortof. I tried to get a picture of the flakes:
See the snowflakes? See them? 
That didn't really work (and this is the best attempt). But that's ok, because I veganized this recipe for breakfast. (Tradition to have cinnamon rolls for breakfast on christmas in my family)

I look a little insane while my mother teaches me how to make pie crust (again-I really can't pick it up and I don't know why)

 When the 2nd iteration of the Teal Cat project came out, I had to get one for my sister. It was her christmas gift, plus a donation to an animal rescue nonprofit in the area.

 This is the third time I've made the pull apart pumpkin rolls and the third time they've come out fantastically.

 I made pecan pie for Thanksgiving and was drooling over it for Christmas too!
