When you’re plant-based and your family and friends aren’t, it can feel like you’re the odd one out.

If you’re hosting and you’re not making turkey on Thanksgiving, your meat-eating guests are likely to grumble. If you’re a guest, you might go hungry unless you show up with a vegan meal to share.

Is there any way to make the holiday gathering go a little smoother for everyone this year?

Let’s find out.

Today, I’m talking with a very special guest, Nick Cutsumpas, also known as Farmer Nick.

Nick is an Emmy-winning plant-based gardener, landscaper, and plant coach. I invited him on the show to have a conversation all about how to have a happy and healthy holiday when you’re plant-based and your family is not.

We go over:

Meal ideas whether you are a guest or if you are hosting,
Potluck do’s and don’ts, and
How to best respond to common questions, without being that angry vegan

And, I couldn’t help myself, we also talk a little about gardening and houseplants, two more things Nick and I have in common.
