Food blogger for a meal (that’s all, I promise)
Comments (18) We celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday with my sister, Christina, and her friend, Will. What does a vegan Thanksgiving look like? Let me show you…
The Sous Chef and Chef
The main dish: Stuffed Acorn Squash
Your choices are lentils and rice or…
Dressing!
We also had lentils and rice
and dressing on the side!
A delicious new Green Bean Casserole recipe! We used the leftover sauce as gravy for…
… the potatoes! Nom nom nom.
Of course, we had to have Cranberries. We just bought the canned Ocean Spray kind, but I may make a fresh cranberry dish for Christmas.
And you can’t forget the rolls (from ALDI)!!!
The fully set Thanksgiving Day Table…
and the fully set table with peeps!
My plate (this is all I ate – I knew we would have LOTS of leftovers)
Christina makes the classic mashed potato sandwich!
There were just a FEW servings of leftover mashed potatoes
We waited a few hours (Christina and Will played Wii the whole time) until we got out the DELICIOUS vegan pumpkin pie (new recipe here)
My plate
Everyone else’s plates!
The only thing that wasn’t vegan at this meal was the butter for the rolls, the whipped cream, and ice cream.
We had a lot of fun yesterday. Steven and I did the food prep while Christina and Will chilled, then we just played Wii all day and hung out. Sometimes, it’s good to spend a day indoors!
I didn’t do a thankful post this year. After reading many of yours, I can say I am thankful for the same things. But one unique thing I have to mention is how thankful I am too have a supportive husband who loves to experiment with food. I became vegan on June 15, but Steven is still a vegetarian. However, he fully supports my decision to be vegan and is always “veganizing” dishes we used to make with animals products, and trying out new recipes that I can eat. What a sweetie! Being vegan is not impossible, but Steven makes it much easier.
