Thanksgiving

[Guest guest]

I am going to a friends home for Thanksgiving.

Everyone always brings something, I will just bring a big

fat salad. I have done this before, on other

occasions and most people don't notice, I'm only eating the

salad. Holidays are more about getting together with

friends, than what you eat.<br><br>Doug

[Guest guest]

Teri. Hi (again!) If you are so healthy on you

diet now, why do you need to fast for 5 days? Or is it

a kind of protest against all the turkey killings.

I once fasted on Christmas day & Boxing day as a

protest about the famines in Africa. Also I fasted one

day every week for about three months, was sponsored,

and gave the money to a third world charity, as well

as the money I saved by not eating on those days.

Have a safe and happy holiday, everyone.

Glitter:

Well, I made the green bean cassarole with a creamy tofu/mushroom base instead of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, and I had trouble making it taste good so I added a TON of Willow Run (Vegan) margarine, salt and pepper, and it finally passed muster. I added extra fried onion pieces inside and out to disguise the lack of dairy, and it worked! I made a huge pile of stuffing with vegan chicken stock, lots of sage, onions, celery, etc., Loma Linda brown gravy (12 packets worth!), the garlic mashed potatoes with a 10 lb. bag of Idaho's, partially peeled, a huge fist of fresh garlic, salt, pepper, Coffee Rich creamer (which is vegan according to Peta), and lots of margarine. (Oh, I boiled the potatoes in vegan chicken stock, so they were extra yummy and yellowish. Also, I used the chickeny-flavored potato water as the base for the gravy.) I had fresh corn with margarine, candied sweet potatoes, spinach dip in a bread bowl, (made with nayonaise and sour cream substitute), green onions, pickles, and fresh veggies, fresh fruit, hot rolls from the oven dripping in margarine, cranberry sauce, and of course, the pie! Whew! This was actually a simple year for me, as I usually cook a lot more. Just wait for Christmas, heh-heh!

~Celia

P.S. Oh, I forgot about the vegan "roast"...you know the one with seitan, gravy and stuffing all wrapped in puff pastry? I make a variation on that for Christmas...I saute chopped green peppers and onions and stir in Gimme Lean sausage flavor. Even the meat eaters go nuts on that knowing it's not meat....

I love tofurkeys and we

usually have one every year, my children who are 9 and 11 also love them. I don’t

really care for the drumettes and stuff but this year we had to buy that one as

it was the only one left so maybe they are better now. I just wish they made

them bigger we so enjoy them, I need to buy more…

Wild oats here in Nashville says they carry them all year but I have

never seen them any other time except xmas and

thanksgiving. I wish I has a bigger freezer and I would buy more but I don’t,

hubby tried to make one last year and it was pretty good but not as good as

theirs. J

Tofurkey is absolutely amazing.....

 

do you know of a book called " how it all vegan " ?

(they have a website too)

 

anyways, they put recipes in there for all kinds of

holiday treats; cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy,

mashed potatoes and the actual tofurkey (so you can

make it instead of buying it if you want)

 

yum!

That sounds great. I used to have a vegetarian friend who would bake sweet potatoes as the entree for Thanksgiving and say we were having little Cornish turkeys for dinner;-). A homemade Tofurkey sounds a lot better. Thanks! I'll check out the website.

You can probably just special order them throughout the year. I had never seen these little ones before though. Just enough for two people, or in my case ONE person. The suspense is mounting...2 more days and I'll have had a Tofurkey experience! All these years of not eating turkey and I never had one! Geez! Now I'm compiling a list of what I want to make to go with it. When I bought it they had tons of them in the freezer section. When I went back a few days later they were all gone. They must be good!

I can vouch for this recipe. I've made it every year for the last few years. We like it better than the Tofurkey. I bought an oval colander this year to make it more "turkey" shaped.

 

I made one with seitan a few years back that was really good too.

Thanksgiving

 

 

Amanda, there are a lot of websites that have recipes for vegan Thanksgiving

dinners (as well as other holidays like Halloween). For a good list of

links to

them, see http://www.myhq.com/public/s/u/susanv/ --the category " Seasonal

and

Holiday Recipes " in the top middle section.

 

I personally do something different every year--one year an Un-Turkey, once

a

lasagna, and once a cashew loaf. There are so many possibilities out there!

You're welcome! :-)

The cashew loaf is actually called a nut roast (I forgot that because the main

ingredient is cashews). My non-vegetarian mother and sister both loved

this--with good reason, because it is very rich. The recipe is located at

http://www.boutell.com/vegetarian/nut-roast.html .

 

Also, at Thanksgiving and Christmas I always serve sweet potato pie. My recipe

is here: http://veganconnection.com/recipes/desserts.html#Spri

 

Other dishes I've served over the years are pan-fried tofu slices with dressing

and gravy; acorn squash stuffed with dressing; and seitan slices with dressing

and gravy. I always include plenty of side dishes: mashed potatoes, peas, fresh

cranberry sauce, and rolls. Desserts are the sweet potato pie or pumpkin pie.

(I call this meal Festival of Starches, LOL!)

Unfortunately Thanksgiving is a pretty crappy holiday too...based on a

myth of " pilgrims feeding Indians " and stolen from the people actually

doing the feeding, not to mention saving the lives of those folks with

buckles on their hats . The notion of giving thanks is a nice one...but

the foundation of the holiday is based in a lot of the negative aspects of

America.
