Thanksgiving Feast

Sorry I have not blogged in awhile! It's November, my favorite time of the year and my favorite holiday is this month. No, it's not my birthday... it's Thanksgiving! So what do vegetarians eat for Thanksgiving? Well there is so much more to this holiday besides the Turkey. In this blog I will be giving you some yummy ideas to create your perfect vegetarian Thanksgiving feast!

Here is a list of Thanksgiving staples, put them all together or mix and match for your own perfect meal :)

1. Tofurkey
If you are just missing having your turkey at the table this is a tasty alternative. Everything you need comes in the box (Including stuffing and gravy) and this product is GMO free! I will be making myself Tofurkey this Thanksgiving. Save a Turkey, eat Tofurkey!!!



2. Sweet potato casserole
Who doesn't LOVE a sweet potato casserole? Ok I'll admit it, I did not when I was little (I never tasted it when I was little it was just one of those things I said I didn't like) and boy was I missing out!! Sweet potatoes are rich in antioxidants, fiber,  and vitamins E and C, add a little cinnamon, almond milk, and a little brown sugar, and you have yourself a delicious treat! You may even add Pecans or marshmallows on top if you feel a little more daring :)

3. Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower
These were always my favorite veggies at thanksgiving time (and all the time). To make them special, drizzle a little hot cheese sauce on top (Don't go too crazy, cheese sauce can be fatty) and vola! YUMYUMYUM!

4.Garlic Rosemary Mashed potatoes
I like my mashed potatoes how my mommah makes them... a little lumpy and with the skins! YUM

5. Green Bean Casserole
Need I say more?

6.Baked Stuffed Mushrooms
Mom always made the best! I will have to ask her for her secret recipe and post it!

I think you all get the idea of how you can be vegetarian and still enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving meal without the Turkey. There's so many veggies out there that you can mix and match as many as you want. What is your favorite vegetarian Thanksgiving dish??

Next blog I plan on posting my mom's delicious stuffed mushroom recipe (if she is willing to share).

Until next time... Happy, Healthy Eating!!
