It's been so long since my last post, but have no fear! I have a vegan extravaganza coming your way in the form of Thanksgiving. Please contain your excitement. Thanksgiving has been a tradition for the hubs and I for the last 5 years, and it's something we really love to do. Joe's not into other holidays... like, not even birthdays (yeah, I know. total bummer.), so this is a holiday we can get into, especially since we both love to cook.

This year was a bit of an experiment since it was the first year I have been eating as a vegan. We decided to have a turkey for the omnivores, which I was kind of having heebie jeebies over, but we just made sure we bought a happy organic, free-range, raised on an Ohio farm, turkey, and that appeased my squeamishness about the whole thing. So there was the turkey, and then all the sides were vegan. For a couple weeks leading up to the big day, we were doing some taste testing. My hope was that we could find a turkey substitute to present to everyone, and ideally they would poo over it, and next year we could forego the turkey. ha! It didn't quite happen. We made a couple good faux turkey dishes, but I'm not sure they could replace the deep-seated love for the holiday bird. We'll keep working on it.

In the hustle and bustle of dinnertime, we didn't get as many pics as I would have liked, but Joe managed to capture the highlights.

The full menu... drum roll please...
