Thanksgiving!!

[tammy]

This is absolutely my favorite holiday. I eat pretty much the same thing every year and I love it.

- Tofurky
- Mashed potatoes and gravy (creamy country gravy, from the Tofurky box, I add mushrooms!)
- Stuffing
- Broccoli (my default green vegetable)
- Pumpkin pie

I will post more details with recipes soon. Would love to hear what others are planning for Thanksgiving. Or if people have questions, feel free to post!!

I love Thanksgiving, as well. We usually have dinner with Doug's parents and we bring the Tofurkey. They always have some and they like it.

In addition to the Tofurkey, I like to make homemade cranberry sauce by soaking and blending organic dried cranberries with a little agave nectar. (mmm!)

Doug's mom usually makes vegan stuffing and mashed potatoes (with celery root -- mmmm), but this year I may try to modify a few yummy-looking recipes from the Nov. issue of Vegetarian Times magazine. There is a veg-sausage pomegranate stuffing, I think, as well as some roasted veggie ideas. I love steamed kale with lemon juice, but am pretty open to eating any green veggie.

Doug and I will bring an organic vegan pumpkin pie, or if I get ambitious, I'll make some pumpkin chocolate-chip cupcakes from 'Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.'

Bon Apetit!

That sounds great, Tammy. I'd love to see your stuffing recipe (the stuffing inside the Tofurky never goes far enough).

Here's my Traditional set of Thanksgiving recipes .. you can tell I use them alot because they are already online. I find that I am paper-challenged, and having information online means I can't lose it

To that I would add Hot Apple Cidar ... AND a new gravy that I absolutely love .. I had blogged earlier that I need to find it, and Seth at Tofurky was kind enough to post it for me! See my blog below for spices for Hot apple Cidar; and in the comments, you'll find the creamy country gravy.

Hello! This is my first ever post here.
I made the Festive Chickpea Tart and Classic Cranberry Sauce yesterday - both recipes from the current VegNews, and both perfectly autumnal and Thanksgiving-y. So yummy!
Cheers!
