A More Creative Thanks-Living Feast π
|
Hi Reader, In case you missed it, I sent an email on the 14th with some of my most popular "classic" Thanksgiving dinner recipes. The problem is, I have so many favorites, it's always difficult to narrow it down! Also, we all have different tastes and dietary needs (or are accommodating guests who do)... And maybe you're just a total rebel π and like to try new things every year, which by the way, I completely agree with! π So today I thought I'd share some of my slightly more unique holiday recipes that deserve consideration just as much as the vegan turkey and gravy! I absolutely love this chickpea loaf. It's savory, wholesome, and loaded with satisfying texture thanks to chickpeas, mushrooms, kale, walnuts, and wild rice.
With sweet potato, kale, and seasoned soy curls, this fall-inspired pot pie is healthy comfort food at its best!
Another gluten-free option, with its balance of savory, sweet, and tart, this protein-rich, chewy tofu just might be the surprise hit of Thanksgiving dinner!
Lightly fruity, sweet, and tangy, this creamy slaw is a refreshing contrast to heavier, savory dishes.
When everyone starts feeling snack-ish while watching the game, forget the tomato salsa and chips. Serve up some colorful cranberry salsa instead!
Trust me, this dish will surprise you! Featuring cauliflower two ways, blended into the creamy sauce and as florets, it tastes richer than it is. And that makes it perfect for Thanksgiving, if you ask me!
Gotta love the combo of mashed potatoes and cauliflower. Plain non-dairy yogurt gives them perfect tang and Cajun seasonings add a little kick!
Instead of stuffing, why not shake things up this year with a warm panzanella salad? It's easy to prepare and features Brussels sprouts, kale, sourdough, and pomegranate.
Similar to pecan pie but with walnuts, my vegan take on this Southern dessert is sweetened with maple syrup and brown sugar and includes a touch of pumpkin spice.

Hi Reader, In my email a few weeks ago I asked if anyone would be interested in a chocolate version of my popular vegan gluten-free pie crust. The answer was a resounding "Yes!" π₯° So here we are!
