Is everyone thinking about the Thanksgiving meal? It is definitely on my mind a great deal of the time. I think I have the menu figured out for the most part. I am getting some really great help this year from my daughter and her husband, who know far more about plant based eating than I do.
I am so glad that I don't need to think about wrestling a turkey this year. I have made some really good turkeys in my time, but I have also made many turkeys that just weren't that good. I think plant based foods are just so much easier to cook than meat. I think it is because the plant based foods have less variability in their quality. At least it is easier to look at a plant and determine whether it is fresh or in otherwise good condition. It is much less so with meats.
Whether you are planning a plant based Thanksgiving or a more traditional Thanksgiving, I hope everyone is taking care of themselves and not letting the stress take over the fun of this great holiday.
For me it truly is one of my favorite holidays.
So, what are you fixing for your thanksgiving meal?? - Cathy
ReplyDeleteDressing- Daughter is making this. It contains "field roast", a faux meat, and she said it is the best dressing she has ever had. Mashed potatoes and celery root. Mushroom gravy- a recipe from Happy Herbivore recipe book. I am nervous about this. Sautéed or steamed green beans- if they are very fresh I will steam, otherwise will sauté w a touch of olive oil and maybe throw some toasted almonds and lemon juice in. Roasted asparagus, carrot salad, Alaska cole slaw, green pea salad, herb rolls, (bought from an artisan bakery this weekend and in the freezer now). Fruit crumble- to be made by my daughter, served with nondairy vanilla ice cream. Pumpkin pie- the only nonplant based thing we are serving. I just couldn't find a recipe that I liked. Maybe next year we will have a plant based pumpkin pie. Thanks for asking! What are you having?
