The 12 Days of Healthy Dinner Recipes – Oh She Glows (2024)

sooo happy you’re doing this! i’ve already started to feel the affects of having real sugar in my body, which i tend to avoid the rest of the year. i’ve been cranky and bloated since thanksgiving, and it doesn’t to take a genius to figure out why! looking forward to healthy ideas! : )

What an awesome idea..so excited to see all the recipes! I’m going to be sure to pass this along to my mom. She always is asking me for recipes ideas for dinner at the holidays when I am visiting along with a lot of other family. I know anything from your site will be healthy and delicious!

great idea! :) and just what I need right now!

What a great idea! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I have a 12 days feature on my blog, too, but it’s much less healthy :) xoxo

YAY!!! I have been searching for something JUST like this!! You’re so fabulous!! I can’t wait to see what the recipes will be! I’m as excited as my daughter is waiting for Christmas!! :)

Yay! This is our first Christmas as a vegan family :o) One good thing about it is that we don’t eat quite as much of the junk foods, but still have it none the less… Looking forward to what you post about Christmas dinner. I’ll be serving a vegan meal to a bunch of probably-will-complain-a-bunch-non vegans. But I am hopful… I made your walnut loaf at Thanksgiving and everyone who tried it really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your food talents!

Great idea! I know CookingLight.com does something similar, but I have to modify their recipes. I won’t have to with yours!
The pudding looks divine! Oh, I LOVE pudding!

Looking forward to your postings! Thanks for the inspiring words to keep on a healthy path. :)

What a great idea!

Your recipes are the best! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

I’m excited for this! It can be way too easy to rely on take out after a long day of Christmas shopping – but I’m sure these recipes will give me motivation to actually get into the kitchen and cook instead!

I have been thinking about that Einstein quote too, for the same reasons. I think too much sugar starts this unhealthy circle and it takes a bit of effort to get out of it. Hate the feeling! That’s why I love this post, (you are awesome to inspire others) :) For me exercising helps to get back to ‘normal’ a bit more.

Angela,
This is such a great idea. I love inspiration to stay healthy over the holidays. My family does a family fitness challenge this time of year to try to combat all of the seasons temptations.

Locked in and ready to rock it out! Bring on day number 1!

Love that pudding! Tasty and mostly good for you! :0)

CANNOT wait! This post totally beat the Monday blahs for me. :) The Einstein quote was the icing on the cake. Thanks, Angela!

Thank goodness! Being “good” during the holidays is NOT always easy… so thank you for taking a load off. ;)

Yay! I always crave fresh veggies, especially, around the holidays. I get sugar overload just *looking* at typical Christmas dessert recipes.

I think this is definitely a good idea. As much as we all want to eat cookies at every meal and enjoy eggnog for a dessert drink every night, it just isn’t healthy. Plus, if we do that daily it is not as appreciated. I think it’s hard enough with cold weather in the winter and desserts surrounding us to stay on track and all the pushing of desserts around this time doesn’t help. I’ll definitely be having desserts; heck, I made gingerbread snowmen yesterday and pumpkin dough balls today. However, the gingerbread men was sent with my mom to work and I haven’t eaten any of the dough balls yet. I enjoy eating and baking all those desserts but I can’t go crazy all month. Like you said, I need to fit the desserts into the diet, not have it make up my diet.

During the holiday season everybody tends to let himself eat unhealthy and a lot! Thanks for such a healthy recipe roll in the time when it’s needed the most! :)

I understand sugar overload! I have been there since Thanksgiving! I am so glad your posting healthy stuff! I’m trying to do that myself!! Look forward to seeing what you have in store!!

Oh my god, you are a rockstar. I need this so much. A combination of living on my own and some pretty horrible depression (usually managed, but I’ve just changed over meds and am having a sh*tty time of it right now) means that recently I’ve considered it totally appropriate to eat three still-frozen scones straight out of the freezer while crying and calling it dinner. Needless to say I am not at my… peppiest. Healthy, creative, vegan input would be so, so appreciated, you lovely woman you.

Looking forward to it! :)

Angela, Just have to say I love your blog. My husband and I read “The China Study” seven months ago, turned plant-based, and haven’t looked back. I’ve made several of your recipes and they are always a hit. Thanks for sharing with the world!

I love that you’re doing this! It seems like all of the recipes being published right now are sugar-based. While there’s certainly a fun and festive place for that, I definitely crave some healthy meals after too much sugar. I’m looking forward to keeping up with (and hopefully trying) some of your recipes in the next few days.

Cant wait, I really need as much direction as possible too much temptation!!

Angela you’re hilarious, I love the Einstein quote

My boyfriend and I love your website. It’s like a religion in our house since we decided to become Vegan 4 months ago. In fact I’m not sure the transition would have been an easy one without you-especially for him. He lives for your carrot cake cookies and soft serve. Thank you so much for all you do. We love it!

Loved reading your post on desserts that are not loaded with too much sugar
I am guilty of my daily routine to Dunking Donuts for my coffee and donuts and yeah
too much sugar can make you tired and grumpy. I am looking to satisfy my cravings
for sweets without the intake of sugar.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes, I have tried many and especially love the Red lentil butternut squash curried soup. Fantastic! Our family is not vegan but eat many vegitarian meals and use your recipes for all of them!!

I just made this recipe and I was surprised by the beautiful pudding consistency! It is really rich and not too sweet which makes this a double bonus! Thanks for the recipe can’t wait to have it after dinner!
