Happy Vegan Thanksgiving!

Vegan Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is usually just the two of us, and of course it is the one day of the year, besides Christmas and birthdays, that I spend hours in the kitchen. I just can’t help myself, and our kitchen is so small that I protest my husband cooking at the same time. I prepared all of the following for our afternoon meal (except for the bread which he made, and he was in charge of the dessert – I’ll post about that later).


Duck – Not real, of course. It’s a wheat gluten product from Taiwan – not so sustainable but we splurge once a year and grab some from a little store in Chinatown.

Mashed Potatoes and Turnips/Rutabagas with Gravy – The following is an aftermath. It was very good. The turnips, rutabagas, and garlic were from our community supported agriculture (CSA).

Roasted Brussels Sprouts – Also from our CSA.

Homemade Bread – See first picture.

And Woodchuck Granny Smith Draft Cider, a new favorite of mine.

Cheers and I’ll post Thanksgiving recipes after I’ve recovered.
