Thanksgiving 2013
I had two vegan friends over for Thanksgiving. I don't go home for Thanksgiving usually, so I emailed a bunch of folks to see if anyone wanted to come over. I made a Field Roast Celebration Roast, mashed potatoes with chickpea gravy from Appetite for Reduction, green bean casserole from Fat Free Vegan (recipe here), and cranberry sauce from Quick and Easy Vegan Celebrations. One guest brought another roast to cook and cranberry sauce, so we used his sauce for dinner. The second guest brought TWO desserts! Clearly a gal after my own heart! She brought Crave's red velvet vegan cupcakes and a vegan pumpkin pie from Whole Foods. Yum! It was a simple menu so I wouldn't be a big ball of anxiety before they arrived, but it was satisfying. It was great to have someone to share the holiday with and we talked for hours. :)

Woah, you say you didn't go all out but it sounds like a lot of great food. I am sad I missed out on the Thanksgiving fun. Next time, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was all very tasty, but I did not want to get stressed out making something super elaborate. I think there's beauty in executing simple things well, or at least that's what I told myself! ;)
