Another thanksgiving has come and gone.

I LOVED seeing all of your recreations of the TSV thanksgiving recipes! I know thanksgiving can be a little overwhelming when you’re vegan (especially a new vegan), so being able to make your holiday a little easier makes me so happy to see and hear.

And now that thanksgiving is over I am craving all things non-thanksgiving. I had three days straight of potatoes, stuffing and gravy.

My tastebuds are ready for something totally different.

And this Vegan California Panini is just that.

The combination of avocado, red onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, spinach and vegan cream cheese may sound kinda funky, but I SWEAR it tastes amazing.

You get creaminess from the cream cheese & avocado, crunchiness from the red onion & spinach and a little bit of spice from the jalapeño.
