Did you know St. Nicholas Day is celebrated on December 6th? Rooted in European traditions, this holiday honors St. Nicholas of Myra, a 4th-century saint known for his kindness, generosity, and the miracles he performed. In Germany (where my husband grew up), children place their shoes by the door on the night of December 5th, hoping to wake up to treats like nuts, oranges, or chocolates.
This year, we’re giving the tradition a nourishing twist with gluten-free, vegan, no-sugar-added cookies that pack 6g of protein each—and they’re ready in just 90 seconds!
