Low Sugar Sweet Potato Casserole. Gluten free vegan comfort food that tastes just like the holidays. Go grab a spoon, you’re gonna love it!

Friends! Can you believe Christmas is only one week away!? I just love this time of year and it’s going by way too quickly. I’m one of those that leaves the Christmas tree up until mid January because I want to savor every last drop of the season and the flavors too like this Low Sugar Sweet Potato Casserole.

This week, I’ve been doing my best to slow down in the mornings and connect to what’s most important to me.

Often I get my priorities mixed up and this is a great time to reconnect and just be still. I always feel much more grounded when I do that because I have a different perspective, one that sees the bigger picture and the tiny blessings all at the same time.

Carving out space to reflect on this year and the meaning of the season has given me fresh eyes. I just want to say thank you to all of you who visit this blog, make these recipes, leave comments, and share my recipes with friends and family. You are the reason that I keep coming back to this space day after day.

I owe you a big hug!

Because virtual hugs just aren’t the same, I made this Low Sugar Sweet Potato Casserole. Gluten free vegan comfort food that tastes just like the holidays. Go grab a spoon, you’re gonna love it!

Thanks again for stoping by. I hope you enjoy the Christmas season, and take time for yourself and the ones you love.
