Here is a thing that won't surprise you: My favorite part about hosting a holiday party is planning and making the party spread. When it comes to your vegan New Year's Eve menu, dips, spreads, and finger foods rule.

But this menu doesn't stop there. I've also got lots of ideas for delicious vegan main dishes to rock your NYE dinner party!

Thanks for the variety of recipes - I love artichokes just as much as I love cheesecakes, so I'm super excited to be able to try some of these. If you have a chance, you should totally post more of these - especially the desserts. Thanks for sharing - I can't wait to try them!

    My husband made your spinach and artichoke dip for a dinner party the other night. It was his first time blending cashews in the Vitamix and he stopped well short of the ideal state of creaminess! Even though the dip was a bit "gritty," it still tasted good. :)

      Haha I know exactly the texture you mean. I'm glad it tasted good, despite the underblending. :D
