GRATEFUL
I realized this year that the key to making me love Thanksgiving is giving me total control of the entire thing. Type A to the rescue!
We had:
- Stew’s pumpkin apple soup
- Harvest spinach salad w/cranberry vinaigrette
- Chili-spiked green beans
- Simple stuffing
- Roasted garlic and herb mashed potatoes
- Pan-seared tofu steaks
- Holiday sangria
- Pumpkin pie
Oh! And it’s all vegan…
Pumpkin pie
Chickpea gravy (that I FORGOT TO EAT)
Stuffing
Ooh baby.
Green beans galore
Roasted garlic and herb mashed potatoes
Hilarious pan-seared tofu
See it?
The tofu looks so ridiculous because it was hollowed out with the intention of stuffing it with… stuffing. That didn’t happen.
And… AND… siiiiiiiiigh, I forgot to eat the chickpea gravy. I didn’t realize until I was on a walk an hour after the meal was consumed. Such a tragedy.
This little concoction got us through the adventure:
Holiday sangria
Red wine, cranberry juice, sparkling apple cider and apples simmered in simple syrup and cinnamon. Ay, de mi.
Not to pat myself on the back or anything but this was the BEST Thanksgiving meal I’ve ever had. And we have plenty more where that came from…
Stacked
I’m proud of our effort (and teamwork) today.
Happy Thanksgiving!
YOU FORGOT THE TURKEY
Looks DELICIOUS. And a vegan pumpkin pie recipe? Can you maybe share?
great comment from the cats. what happened to the stuffed tofu? pretty clever idea!
Haha, yes, I needed to have control of everything too. I had no prob being in charge of it all. I enjoyed coordinating cooking the dishes with putting together the decor. And then clearing the table and preparing for dessert was too fun. I am such a little holiday meal dictator!
Stuffed tofu! I get it lol. Too bad it never happened
It all looks amazing! Way to go!
