I know, you’re still dusting the Halloween glitter out of your hair, and the last thing you want to do is start thinking about planning for the holidays. Especially the always work-intensive Thanksgiving Dinner feast! That’s why this year, let me do all the brainstorming, test-kitchening and menu planning for you. All you have to do it read, shop and cook your way to the best vegan Thanksgiving celebration ever. If I can do it, so can you. And yes, even the carnivore(s) in your life will love these recipes.
You Be the Host. If you’d like, you can pick and choose from my series recipes and make a few to bring over to your not-vegan relatives’ homes. Perfectly fine, I’ve done this many times. But if you’re super adventurous, try hosting Thanksgiving Dinner at your home this year. And don’t be shy about the ‘vegan’ part. I find that most people are thrilled about trying something new (and healthier) for Thanksgiving. Most non-veggies have had turkey and gravy so many times that a vegan Thanksgiving might actually sound like a thrill! Love it or hate it, at least try it. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to experiment with vegan recipes because of the nature of the meal – there are so many items on the table to choose from, you are bound to fall in love with a few. So check out my Vegan Thanksgiving recipe series schedule…and start sending out those invites!…

I made the most delicious Harvest Rice recipe. It has all kinds of seasonal ingredients from pumpkin to cranberries to wild rice. It was a hit with all our family. You can find the recipe here: http://www.celebrationideasonline.com/vegetarian-thanksgiving-recipe.html
It was easy!
Anna, that's so funny because the first recipe I wrote down for this series today is a squash and/or pumpkin stuffed with stuffing! I actually made it with pumpkin today….soooo awesome. I can't wait to post it. I tried it with an acorn squash too, but the pumpkin is just so darn adorable!
