I really do not regret that I won't partake of turkey, ham, and some other traditional Thanksgiving foods. I was never that crazy about turkey, although I always roasted one in the past. I liked the soup that followed the turkey meal more than the turkey itself, and I can make an equally delicious soup without the turkey frame.
I think our favorite Thanksgiving food by far was the dressing. I would make tons of it and freeze some for later meals. My daughter is going to step in and save the day, because she has a great recipe from last Thanksgiving for a plant based dressing. She said it was the best dressing she had ever had, so I am excited to try it. She said it includes something called a field roast, (a type of faux meat). I thought I had seen most of the plant based products, but I have never seen or heard of this. I love learning new things. This will be fun.
I am so glad that my daughter and her family will
be with us this year for Thanksgiving. They have
been plant based for several years. When we visited them on Thanksgiving in the past, they would run down to the grocery store and buy us a roasted turkey breast. I always thought that was so sweet.I have been thinking about who else we should invite for Thanksgiving. Sometimes my wonderful stepmother joins us for Thanksgiving. I will ask her soon if she would like to join us this year. I would love to know what she will think about our plant based Thanksgiving. She is a very loving and supportive person, so I don't think it will concern her one bit.
My sister and some of her family have joined us the last couple of Thanksgivings. She has told me that she will be able to come on Thanksgiving Day, but that she will be having dinner with her sister-in-law and then joining us later in the afternoon. I sure hope we didn't scare her off.
