a vegan thanksgiving


This weekend has been BUSY!
Went to a co-workers place for a thanksgiving dinner after work on Thursday- I brought along black bean and sweet potato enchiladas as well as some vegan stuffed mushrooms. Randomly one of the pies she had was vegan so had some of that too. Drank a little too much, as always.
The next day was Friday and after work my mom came up to visit- we went to Elephant Walk for a tasty dinner, always a favorite.
She stayed in a close by hotel. Then on Saturday we went to the BPL to admire its art, then to Veggie Galaxy for brunch, then the the MFA for the Degas show (not very good I have to say, I liked the pieces of other artists better then Degas' there). She left after that and I got ready for a vegan thanksgiving party.
About a dozen people came. The menu was all vegan, and this is what we had:
-tofurkey
-Mashed potatoes and gravy
-a 3 bean casserole
-tofu, lettuce, kale, and tomato salad
-vegan stuffing
-a mushroom side dish
-apple and cranberry sauce
-berry crumble pie
-vegan chocolate chip cookies
-LOTS and LOTS of wine
Plan to host it again next year, and don't knock tofurkey until you try it! The attached picture is our fridge after the party- leftovers to last the next week for me and Mark.
