    YUM! Thank you, Sina, for a great list with many ideas, different from what I’ve seen in most other round-ups. I would so add this one meal to it, though: http://inourishgently.com/roasted-vegetable-lasagna/. It’s the most drool-worthy vegan crowd-pleaser I’ve ever prepared and the ultimate centerpiece for my holiday table. You should definitely consider adding it to your Christmas round-up.
    Keep up the amazing work!
