A Vegan Thanksgiving

Calling all vegans and others interested in creating a sustainable Thanksgiving meal. You can still celebrate the holiday the same way everyone else does; by eating a lot of good food. Here are some of the best vegan recipes for the holiday:

Vegan Cornbread: 

Not only will this recipe satisfy carb cravings, but it also has a multitude of ingredients which benefit the body. For instance, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and almond milk, each are composed of their own unique qualities that work towards a healthier level of nurtrients.

    I love this piece! I was on a vegan diet over the summer, and even now I enjoy eating vegan food. So this is very helpful. Thank you.

      While I’m not Vegan, some of these sound like they could be really good! I might have to give these a try next time Thanksgiving rolls around.

        You would be surprised by the things that don’t “taste” vegan. 😀

    Yes please! I love these types of dishes during fall and winter. I’m really a fan of the gardein roast and field roast too. Lentil loaf in muffin tins instead of one big loaf also make a great meal that is portable and portioned out…an extra benefit for college students! 😀
