no kidding. Last year it was my family looking at my plate and saying things like "oh thats soooo sad looking" "what a saaaddd looking dinner" "don't you want turrrkeyyy????" No I don't want fucking turkey. I didn't even like turkey back when I ate meat.
I honestly love this channel. It's like real food, just vegan. None of that smoothie bowl, sweet potato wedges, quinoa buddha bowl nonsense that EVERY OTHER vegan channel does. You're so creative!
That's more than I get during my family holiday gatherings! My sister and I spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with our vegan social club now (90 of us) where we all cook delicious vegan food and meet a friends home. I miss my family but I love spending the holidays with my vegan friends more.
I'm not vegan so I will take it upon myself to be the one who tries to bring at least one vegan friendly dish if I know a family member is vegan or has dietary restriction.
Why does it always feel like years since I see hot for food videos?! I guess I just love hot for food so much and having finished binge watching all videos, have to wait a week for a new recipe!
The vegan shows up to the family holiday meal with the commercial sheet pan full of potatoes, going, _"Oh, you can't have carbs? That's a shame."_ ; ) Have fun on your trip, and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's Eve! TFP!
the roast garlic / cashew nut mix looks like a fantastic idea! I have used cashew paste when cooking Indian butter chicken and its so good. With roast garlic on potatoes its going to be so good I can imagine!
I’ve used both raw and roasted unsalted cashews to make the roasted garlic cashew butter and they both work the same. But with the roasted cashews you end up with a much deeper flavor and you may also have to add a smidgin extra of water to blend it up enough in your blender even after soaking them like you would raw cashews to soften them up. Also don’t be afraid to add herbs like thyme used here on the potatoes, in the butter itself. Flavors like rosemary, thyme, a little basil, dried sage etc all really enhance the flavor even if used sparingly. No matter which you decide to go with, it’s sooo friggin goood 😫😬
fun fact: in portugal we eat smashed potatoes with just straight up salt and olive oil alongside codfish and here it's called "batatas à murro", roughly translated to punched potatoes :-)
OK so many things to say. Love the little snip it of how the shot was going to go. Flannels suit you. Need the cookbook asap. Can't wait to make those smashed potatoes. And one last thing have a great vaca and a great Christmas. 🎄
Gonna have to make these for my fam! Made a few of your recipes over thanksgiving which were so tasty that they convinced my parents to cut out all meat ☺️
im so glad you told us that about your family, my family is the same way so it’s good to know its not just my family❤️ definitely makes it less lonely!
Lauren, you just saved my Christmas and New Year's Eve parties! Even though they're not vegans, I'm pretty sure my family and my friends will love it! Like, who wouldn't?! Lol. Vegan doesn't mean plain and boring - they slowly understand this but they sure do. Thank you so much, Lauren! x Davie
Yummmm that looks gooood ! Buttery garlicky potatoes are the best but we don't have vegan butter here so thank you for this recipe :) ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY LAUREN you've earned it 😘
This looks delicious! I will definitely be making this butter for something. My 2 year old devours all of your sauces and I am sure she will eat these right up! We will miss your videos but enjoy your time off! Well deserved.
Lauren i know exactly how you feel! I had Thanksgiving at my sisters this year and literally had to bring everything myself (which hey whatever i dont expect favors) But i literally brought my own stuffing, potatoes, main course and carrots and gravy.. I couldn't have a single thing that my sister was making and she knows im vegan! However in inlaws, i went over and i couldn't believe what they did for me! They made their potatoes with vegan butter, coleslaw with vegan mayo and made falafel balls and a marinara for me. I didn't even ask them to nor did i expect it. I just think about how thoughtful i am to other peoples dietary needs/choices and i always make sure i have something that everyone can enjoy, but some people can't reciprocate at all!
You're my hero, you're so wonderful to watch and i know people get hooked on vegan because of you which makes me soo happy. You're changing the world one recipe at a time! I don't know what the world will do without you during your break but you deserve it, have fun be safe. Miss you already.
These potatoes look epic!! Thanks for everything you do for us Lauren! Merry Christmas & safe travels! Have a restful, well-deserved break!! See you in 2018!
Drop the fork!!!! I love watching you enjoy food! And yes visiting my family is the same way, if I don’t bring vegan food I don’t eat. Enjoy LA!!!!! Merry Christmas Lauren and see you in 2018!!!!!!
Your face at the end, eating the potato, was probably the most satisfying eating face I've ever seen! I have to start cooking for my friends more... I love seeing their happy faces while eating!
Oh those potatoes look so good! I can't wait to try the garlic creme - I think I'll be putting that on everything. Cheers to you and have a beautiful, restful and FUN vacation.
Luckily I have several vegans in my family, so one of us always brings the vegan butter / nut milk for the potatoes 😁 These look amazing !!! Making them for dinner tonight !
We are flying to LA/CA for Xmas too. I'm from the central coast but my husband is German and we are going to see family and try some awesome food! Have fun!!!
"Have a drink"...best holiday advice you could give anyone, especially vegans when visiting family.
no kidding. Last year it was my family looking at my plate and saying things like "oh thats soooo sad looking" "what a saaaddd looking dinner" "don't you want turrrkeyyy????"
No I don't want fucking turkey. I didn't even like turkey back when I ate meat.

Reva K I'm a non vegan and her food is awesome even my meat loving husband likes her recipes. 😁😁😁
Have a great 3 weeks off, Lauren!! You deserve it. Thanks for the amazing recipes!
Thank you for the mini-rant about how difficult holidays are with the family. I was worried I was the only one that was given plain potatoes. :D
Carman Anderson - That exact scenario has happened to me many times. Lol. Enjoy your plain potato. ;-)
That's more than I get during my family holiday gatherings! My sister and I spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with our vegan social club now (90 of us) where we all cook delicious vegan food and meet a friends home. I miss my family but I love spending the holidays with my vegan friends more.
I'm not vegan so I will take it upon myself to be the one who tries to bring at least one vegan friendly dish if I know a family member is vegan or has dietary restriction.
Carman Anderson same happens to me, 2 plain potatoes and maybe some roasted carrots 😒
Last year I made mashed potatoes with cauliflower and my brother was like "I don't want this healthy shit" he ate like half of them.
mmm i love mashed cauliflower
Yes Lauren!! My boyfriend always claims he notices the coconut flavour when I use coconut oil.. But only when he sees me using it haha 😂
Taylor McDonald I can’t stand the taste of it & can detect the smallest amount in food. Honestly it’s vile stuff.
This garlic cashew butter has been a game changer for me. We literally put it on anything possible - SO DAMN GOOD.
Someone should just make a compilation of all the clips where you taste the food you make hah
Tiina H I was just thinking i love her reactions when she finishes cooking.
Why does it always feel like years since I see hot for food videos?! I guess I just love hot for food so much and having finished binge watching all videos, have to wait a week for a new recipe!
every wednesday man!! haha
I’m about to go pick all of the cashews out of my big mixed nut jar just so I can make this right now
The vegan shows up to the family holiday meal with the commercial sheet pan full of potatoes, going, _"Oh, you can't have carbs? That's a shame."_ ; ) Have fun on your trip, and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's Eve! TFP!
That's a main dish for me
I f***** love you and your relatable "vegan problems" stories
hahah

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
hot for food thank you for helping me be a vegan!!
the roast garlic / cashew nut mix looks like a fantastic idea! I have used cashew paste when cooking Indian butter chicken and its so good. With roast garlic on potatoes its going to be so good I can imagine!
Yum! Have a happy holiday and a relaxing break, Lauren!

ok YUM. my jaw dropped at the amount of butter for each potato wowowowowoww. yes
fun fact: in portugal we eat smashed potatoes with just straight up salt and olive oil alongside codfish and here it's called "batatas à murro", roughly translated to punched potatoes :-)
I love how you taste your own preparation and really enjoy it and you transmite it ❤️ now I'm hungry lol
OK so many things to say. Love the little snip it of how the shot was going to go. Flannels suit you. Need the cookbook asap. Can't wait to make those smashed potatoes. And one last thing have a great vaca and a great Christmas. 🎄
