...And a Very Veggie New Year to You

Happy New Year! I'm sorry I've been completely MIA for over a month. December was full of birthday parties (the big 3-0 happened), holiday celebrations, and a five-day Colorado ski trip with friends. Despite my absence, you all continued to read, and I want to thank you all for checking back regularly. I'm honored and humbled that you spend even a minute of your days perusing Blissful Basil.

Today, I have a collection of 23 wintery vegetarian recipes specially curated for you (click on photos to be directed to posts). These are some of my favorite warm-the-soul, satisfy-the-sweet-tooth vegetarian and vegan recipes from the past 3 ½ years. I hope you enjoy the compilation and plan on seeing plenty more posts in 2014!
