When you volunteer to host Christmas two weeks before d-day you only have time for FIVE MIN recipes…

When I say you I’m being heavily rhetorical, which leads me to a few questions for you…

❤️CHRISTMAS HOSTING TIPS? 

💚RECIPE SUGGESTIONS?

Only half of my immediate family is coming, so pretty small but still feeling overwhelmed with the last minute “I want everything to be perfect” planning pressure…

I really need to work on my whole “I thrive in chaos ” motto, doesn’t exactly align with my inner perfectionist. 🙄

Simplicity is the real OG of the holidays, especially when it includes recipes that have the PERFECT balance of crunchy, creamy, sweet and salty.

Also just happen to have the best healthy snacking qualities:

✔️Dairy Free

✔️Gluten Free

✔️Plant Based 

✔️Freezer Friendly

✔️No Baking Required

… aka will not last long enough to be around for Christmas, or this weekend in all honesty.

That perfect.
