Our very first Tofurky Thanksgiving!

This was the first Thanksgiving we didn't have to see or smell a dead
animal on the table. As an added bonus, we had more to eat than just
side dishes! We tried the Tofurky feast this year, and it wasn't too
bad for packaged food. I didn't much care for the apple/cranberry
dumplings, but Mike really liked them. The Tofurky took much longer to
cook than stated, and I think I could have made a better homemade
gravy. The only things homemade were the biscuits and the apple crisp.
(not pictured) It was still decent enough that we are probably going
to make it again for Christmas.

It was also Vinny's first Thanksgiving, and his 9 month birthday! As a
special little treat we fed him a little pieces of biscuit. He doesn't
quite know how to chew yet; he just keeps the food in his mouth until
it dissolves.

Vegan Mattar Paneer

Made with Potatoes instead of Paneer.

Our very own Thanksgiving . . well almost.

This is the first year my hubby and I are preparing our own food for Thanksgiving. Usually we go to our parent's house and hope they make something vegetarian for us, but not this year. We don't have to look at a dead bird or smell turkey for the first time ever!!! We started our morning off with chocolate croissants and for dinner I'm preparing acorn squash ravioli with mushroom cream sauce. We'll be making mushroom risotto to accompany that and for dessert homemade bunuelos.

I think we'll end the day with soy eggnog or abuelita and a movie. mmmm That's my kind of Thanksgiving!

Looks like I got my hopes up too soon. We ended up having to go to the see the parents anyways.
