QOTW: ~ holidays?

[Guest guest]

For those of you that haven't had time to answer the

weekly group questions, here they are:

 

What holidays do you celebrate this time of year?

 

Is there a traditional dish you have adapted to fit your

vegetarian lifestyle? [Or perhaps there is a traditional

dish you'd like suggestions for adapting to veg?]

We celebrate Christmas and the birth of Jesus.

We've never done the " big meal " thing for Christmas, so no adaptations

here. We are considering buying a Tofurkey this year, though, out of

curiosity. We always make a " Happy Birthday Jesus " cake, so this will

be my first vegan cake.

 

I am enjoying reading about everyone's celebrations.

We celebrate New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. We have lots of munchies around

and maybe one large casserole and dessert. Can't recall anything that I have

adapted from pre-vegetarian days. Of course have adapted all of my vegetarian

dishes to vegan, but heck that was easy and no one needs any lessons in that

particularly. Just ideas. Just substitute soy milk for milk, Earth Balance for

butter, tofu for eggs or egg replacer depending on need, Agave Nectar, maple

syrup, sucanat, organic sugars for regular sugars, brown and white, etc. It was

an easy shift for me except I had to become adept at reading labels.
