Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Man you guys have me all ready for a Thabksgiving feast now with the recipes and holiday food talk. I don't have a favorite recipe to donate, my specialty is to eat all the good stuff. I did print a few recipes from yesterday to give some ideas to my mom and sisters.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I'm guessing it must be the big day tomorrow. I wish a lovely Thanksgiving to all my friends across the ocean. May your unturkeys be yummy and your pumpkin pies perfect and may you have a lovely time whether it be with friends or family or even on your own. I've been AWOL for a while, not managing to keep up with all your posts and no energy for cooking anything more adventurous than brown rice and steamed veggies.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I make a stuffed squash or pumpkin with chestnut, mushroom and wild rice dressing with traditional seasonings, New England baked beans, steamed brown bread, johny cakes, cranberry sauce, and assortment of salads, veg, relishes and of course, pie. Not fat free, but low fat. We mostly go to relatives and participate in the celebration, just bring enough to share. Everyone loves the dishes, and it sparks a lot of friendly conversation. No hurt feelings if we don't eat the bird. Never had anyone refuse pumkin pie, and the dairy-allergic nephews are delighted ! left coast carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering what y'all do for Thanksgiving. ************************************************************* This is not fat-free, but it's a holiday and this is a day I break the rules! I am going to prepare a Tofurkey by putting the "roast" into my Nesco roaster along with the container of gravy that comes in the package. I add baby carrots, baby poatoes and celery, along with some veggie broth and cook until done. For a side, I will be having the cranberry-orange relish from Trader Joe's and roasted brussel sprouts. I prepare the brussel sprouts by cutting them in half, spreading them out onto a parchment-paper lined cookie sheet. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil (sorry I know this isn't fat-free), sprinkle with a bit of salt and then roast until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 For me, I make my own seitan roast(time consuming but not expensive like buying a Tofurky roast), mashed potatoes (not fat free, but they can be if you use vegetable broth in place of margarine or oil and nondairy milk), raw cranberry relish (fresh cranberries, Fuji apples, satsuma tangerines, agave nectar to taste, and usually almonds, walnuts & pecans - all mixed in a food processor using the S-blade), stuffing of some sort (sometimes bread based and other times wild rice based), and usually rolls or other bread- home made of course. Many years we've also had steamed green beans with sliced almonds. There is always a big green salad with whatever fresh veggies are available at the time - radishes, carrots, red cabbage, lettuce, spinach, onions, cucumbers-whatever you want.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Every year Mary McDougall shares her holiday meal planning guide with links to recipes*, preparation tips, shopping lists, and a time schedule for cooking everything, including lots of it in advance. It's a very traditional menu and in keeping with fat-free vegan eating. You can use the recipes as they are, or use them as guidelines to adapt your own recipes.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 How did the tofurky/celebration loaf go over ? Tofurky is tasty, looks nice but I wish it weren't so salty. Actually we think the lentil loaf from Amys is one of her better tasting entrees. Your food was better for you than all the other food at the table, I bet.I cant bring myself to make the tofu shaped in a bowl, basted, with the stuffing cooked into the middle or worse with the legs and wings fashioned from it. Agh!!!I was at Mother's Market today and there were several different vegetarian roasts from different makers and a huge chub of smoked "turkey" from Worthington Foods. Didnt get any of it.Has anyone tried the daiya cheese or cheesly cheese yet? I am dying for a macaroni and cheese or grilled cheese sand (fat be darned) - dont know why - must be the fall season. Does anyone have a tried and true recipe for either?Patricia Squyres (714) 299-6468 (714) 974-7055 Fax--- On Tue, 11/10/09, Elizabeth Husberg <chfeliz wrote:Elizabeth Husberg <chfelizRe: Thanksgiving Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 1:01 PM One year I took an Amy's frozen dinner, Lentil loaf with mashed potatoes and veg.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'm the New Zealand importer and distributor for Cheezly, and I love the stuff! Toasted sandwiches are my favourite way to use it. On 11/11/2009, at 12:23 PM, Patricia A Squyres wrote:Has anyone tried the daiya cheese or cheesly cheese yet?

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 WOW - good for you. Native Foods restaurant here in Southern California ( she has quite a few locations) appears to be using Cheesly in her menu items. What we have tasted is very good! So amazing that vegan food is becoming so mainstream - !!At Mother's Market today, I picked up a chub of the creamy cheddar and plan to use it in the next few days. Do you have tips for optimum use?Patricia Squyres (714) 299-6468 (714) 974-7055 Fax--- On Tue, 11/10/09, Alice Leonard <alice wrote:Alice Leonard <aliceRe: Thanksgiving Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 3:26 PM I'm the New Zealand importer and distributor for Cheezly, and I love the stuff!

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 The daiya cheese is unbelievable. The roots market here buys it in bulk and splits it up for individuals to buy. It melts well and tastes great. Its not very healthy though....

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 i'm with you Erin!! Daiya cheese ROCKS!!! I love that stuff, but you're right it's not healthy, so we don't eat it every often, but it's a great occasional treat like real cheese should be for those who eat it... :-) Carrie @ http://www.gingerlemongirl.comEasy & Delicious Gluten Free Recipes and Baked Goods On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 7:30 PM, erin riley <rileysoprano wrote: The daiya cheese is unbelievable.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 We usually bring a Tofurkey and then my mother makes a smaller veganized version of all the sides for us (mashed potatoes, yams w/ Sweet & Sara coconut marshmellows, veggies without butter, pumpkin pie). It's definitely not a fat free day.Patricia, Daiya is AMAZING. Better than real cheese IMHO, but I'm not sure abt it's nutritional stats.Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 you are lucky to have such an understanding mother. Mine thinks I lost a couple of bolts when I became a vegan. She could adjust to the dairy and eggs in the vegetarian but once those had to go she just said, "Take care of your own food at functions from now on."Patricia Squyres (714) 299-6468 (714) 974-7055 Fax--- On Wed, 11/11/09, Jennifer Parrucci <poegurl22 wrote:Jennifer Parrucci <poegurl22 Re: Thanksgiving Date: Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 9:15 AM We usually bring a Tofurkey and then my mother makes a smaller veganized version of all the sides for us (mashed potatoes, yams w/ Sweet & Sara coconut marshmellows, veggies without butter, pumpkin pie).
