My Vegan Thanksgiving
Print This Post
Here are photos from my family Thanksgiving meal…
The table is set:
Bella, our newest family member, looks on:
Our appetizers were: nuts, fried peas, pretzels, sweet potato fries, yaro root fries, hummus and pita, and fresh vegetables.
The spread:
From near to far: fruit salad, cole slaw, pomegranate quinoa, squash and bean stew, stuffed squash, Celebration Roast, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole. Not shown: nog, fruit juice, pumpkin pie, apple pie, vegan ice cream, vegan frozen yogurt, vegan whip cream, and chocolate coconut cookies.
From the other direction:
My sister starts the buffet line:
My plate:
Celebration Roast in the middle. Slaw and green bean casserole to the right. Fruit salad below, quinoa and mashed potatoes to the left. Pumpkin and bean stew, carrots, and stuffed squash at the top.
Our Thanksgiving was filled with abundance. We had our family, plenty of food, and good times.
Love the pic of Bella
Gorgeous pup!

Love the spread of delicious healthy food.

Awe, thanks
I would have loved to have had a soup, too, but that was just too much. Next year
Looked great. Wish I was there. Only problem: alcohol. Rum, wine, etc. may have animal products added. Sad but true. Especially anything flavored. Probably no problem with plain vodkas. Buyer beware. Do organic when can. Email maker of favorite spirits and ask.
One New Years Eve my wife and I had a huge party. She invited her entire running club– mostly meat eaters– and I invited the entire Queens NY Green Party– vegans and vegetarians. We set up two parallel buffet tables. Meat and vegan.
The political and diet discussions were hilarious. Don’t know if there were any converts in either direction tho no one was beat up or made to feel guilty.
How do you make the celebration roast?
My best, David
Hi David,
Captain Morgan is listed as vegan friendly on http://barnivore.com and so is Wild Turkey and the other drinks we had.
I baked the roast in the oven with veggie broth to keep it soft and tender.
Hi, I was wondering if you had the recipes for this beautiful spread?
Sorry, Amber, at the time I didn’t think of posting the recipes. But you can find some excellent Thanksgiving recipes here:
