I've been a vegetarian for about 3 years, so turkey has been off my table for a while. Friends ask what I will eat on Thanksgiving...as if the Turkey is the only item on the menu!
My favorite part of thanksgiving as a kid was always the mashed potatoes and peas. So that's what I built my meal around today!
Mashed white organic potatoes made with lots of garlic, almond milk, salt and pepper. I leave the skins on the taters too. I whip them in the food processor, then I don't need to add much milk - just for flavor enhancement. I could have added green onions and/or leeks - just wasn't in the mood.
Veggie assortment - fresh green peas, baby portabella mushrooms, fresh french green beans, cooked in Pacific Natural Organic Mushroom Broth.
I put the mashed potatoes on the bottom and veggies on top - and ate my way to #vegan food goodness! Oh yum!
I saw lots of #vegan tweets about vegan pumpkin pie, tofurkey, and other veganized recipes. Maybe I'll be there some day, but for now, I like it simple. I do have some pumpkin and chard and will make that tomorrow. Also have fresh cranberries, but forgot to get sugar and you gotta have sugar with those! Tomorrow - with fresh oranges :)
Hope all of you had a great table of thanks with family and friends!
Onward
