My sister is vegan. I am a carnivore. So I’ve had to readjust my thinking so she has things to eat on Christmas.

A big batch of hummus tahini- homemade – is already chilling, and kale chips are about to be made.

Bubbling away on the stove is a giant vegan stew. It smells pretty good. But wow, what a lot of work. Hope it tastes good…. And other things I need to think of still.
