    Hiiii buddies and happy Wednesday! It's time for another installment of #HolidaySideDishes! My vegan theme does indeed continue today with these absolutely delicious Vegan Creamed Greens. I started with the classic creamed spinach, and then added a little oomph because of course I can't leave enough alone. This creamy blend also includes baby kale and chard for a super tasty trio that is sure to become your new favorite. My family basically licked their plates clean!

    SO believe it or not, I'm already at the end of PA school! I know... what?! It doesn't feel like real life for me, either. I am actually taking my boards on Monday {YIKES}, so I have been a bit of a recluse this week and studying during all waking hours! Not particularly exciting, but at least I'll be finished before Thanksgiving which means I'll actually be able to enjoy the holidays! I can just imagine it now... no studying to do, my plate heaping with delicious food {including these creamed greens, of course} and maybe a nice mid-afternoon nap. That sounds like THE LIFE. Just a few more days, now!

    These vegan creamed greens come together in a flash! You just whip up a creamy garlic béchamel sauce, mix in your frozen spinach and fresh greens {or do all fresh or all frozen... whatever floats your boat}, and wait until everything comes together in a hearty and decadent mixture. Serve up and EAT! I promise it doesn't have to be complicated to be delicious!

    Author: Valentina | The Baking Fairy
    Recipe type: Vegetarian
    Serves: 6
    Ingredients
    • 2 cups unsweetened nondairy milk {I used cashew}
    • 2 tablespoon vegan butter
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
    • 5oz fresh baby kale and baby chard blend
    • 12oz bag frozen spinach
    Instructions
    1. First, make the béchamel sauce.
    2. In a large nonstick pan, melt the vegan butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat.
    3. Add in the flour, all at once, and whisk to incorporate. Allow the flour to cook for 3-4 minutes, continuing to whisk and being careful that it does not burn.
    4. Pour in the cashew milk, a bit at a time, being careful to whisk out any lumps. Remove the béchamel from heat, and add in the salt, garlic powder, pepper, nutmeg, and nutritional yeast. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
    5. Add in the fresh and frozen greens, and return pan to medium heat.
    6. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until greens are wilted and cooked through. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately!

      Who says the green in a holiday creamed dish has to be spinach.....Love all the different greens used for this.
