Instagram post 17863917919593070 #ad / Made too many cookies? Yep, same here. Story of my life pretty much all of December 🤣🍪 Instead of letting them go stale, vacuum seal a few with a @foodsaver and freeze them for MONTHS (5x longer!) without freezer burn or weird smells! I typically freeze 4 at a time - it seems to be the perfect amount for last-minute cookie cravings. Pop 'em in the oven for a few minutes until they're warm and you'll have a few freshly baked cookies without any effort. Our @foodsaver has majorly reduced the amount of food waste in our kitchen. No more leftovers gone bad, and it's so much easier to meal prep and keep everything fresh! Plus, some of the bags can be hand-washed, dried and reused multiple times. The appliance is also small and super easy to use - perfect for any size kitchen! P.S. the recipe for these peanut butter cookies is coming to the blog soon! #foodsaver . . . . . . . . . . . . . #plantpower #plantbased #plantpowered #foodphotography #healthylifestyle #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #vegetarianrecipes #veganfoodshare #wholefoods #kitchn #onmytable #nikon #feedfeed #f52grams #homemade #buzzfeast #foodography #instayum #foodstyling #thenewhealthy #cookies #peanutbuttercookies #vegancookies
Instagram post 18119341273049009 If you bake anything this weekend, it should definitely be this Vegan Chocolate Pie.

Instagram post 17848531033749359 These vegan jalapeño poppers come with a funny story. Crowded Kitchen team member Lizzy (who lives in Boston) had to order the ingredients to test these poppers from Amazon fresh, and instead of getting 15 jalapeños, she accidentally ordered 15 POUNDS of peppers. Do you know how many jalapeños are in 15 POUNDS?! So. many. peppers. 🌶 Good thing these jalapeño poppers are totally addictive, because Lizzy is going to be making more than a few batches this holiday season 😂 They’re the perfect 30 minute appetizer - crispy, cheesy, delicious, and just the right amount of spice.

Instagram post 18118641637018821 It feels like Thanksgiving was just yesterday, but Christmas is already only 2 weeks away, so it’s time to start planning your menu again! What are your Christmas food traditions? This year we’re starting a new tradition. We’ll still be preparing a “normal” meal on Christmas Eve with all the classics (including our favorite roasted carrots pictured here!), but for Christmas Day, we’re choosing a different cuisine and preparing traditional recipes from that country! This year, we’re going Greek - we already have a few things planned, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to drop them below! We’re excited to try something new and get everyone involved in the kitchen 🤗 Of course, there will still be plenty of classic Christmas cookies - that’s a necessity 😜 If you’re looking to try some new side dishes this year, give these Harissa Roasted Carrots a try!

Especially when you kick things off with a simple, festive & elegant appetizer like these Persimmon Pomegranate Crostini finished with a drizzle of our favorite @carapelliusa Il Centenario Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
