Your vegan dishes look wonderful! I’m not a vegan and haven’t a problem with the way anyone chooses to eat, but I know I would have dived head first into that butternut squash puree you made. Yum. I’ve always thought turkey to be the least important part of Thanksgiving dinner; I could easily take it or leave it. I’m a side dish kind of girl.
My husband spent a fun filled 8 weeks near Dothan, AL at Ft. Rucker for about 5 years ago. He doesn’t remember it too fondly.
Glad you had a successful Thankgiving!

I decided to be flexitarian/vegetarian on Thanksgiving this year – did not want to make a bunch of dishes just to accomodate my “veganism”. I ate mashed potatoes; sweet potato souffle; green beans; stuffing (my MIL makes hers w/ sausage but thankfully my Bro in law doesn’t eat pork so she always makes a separate dish for him and I of that – always!); cranberry sauce not too shabby for vegetarian thanksgiving

Glad you enjoyed your dinner.

I shopped Black Friday 10:00am-9:00pm – 11hours!!!!!! I feel like we robbed Ann Taylor Loft and Express blind though!!!! LOLOL

I’m so glad you had a successful thanksgiving with the family and you enjoyed all the food that you brought! i def think you made the right decision making and brining everything, otherwise you would have had thanksgivings like me in the past: vegetable platter and rolls. eck.

and those mashed potatoes sound awesome…!

Aww, looks like you had a fab and successful thanksgiving!!! Mine has always been vegetarian, so i obviously don’t miss the turkey either!

And vegan mashed potatoes are probably my favorite thing, ever….so i’m glad you got to get in on that!!!

What a beautiful sunset! Your vegan Thanksgiving sounds delicious!! The whole ‘disgusting vegetable’ thing would have frustrated me as well. Glad everything else went alright!

Seriously your meal looked amazingly delicious and if I were there I would have joined you! I want to come visit one weekend and have a “vegan” weekend. It would be a fun experiment. Congrats on your first vegan Thanksgiving! Glad you had a great holiday minus a few bumps.

We had a delicious vegan feast too (I posted it on my blog today), but we prepared it for two others. We also made a wonderful green bean casseroles. I can’t wait to see yours to compare. Ours turned out really well, but if we would have traveled, there would have been nothing for me to eat.

I would have been frustrated during the “vegetables are disgusting” situation. You handled it so well! I hope that over the years, they warm up to your awesome cooking and change their minds just a bit!

I made your vegan pumpkin pie and I loved it! Mh family was hesitant but they all tasted it and loved the spice flavor to it! All in all a major success!

Happy belated turkey day!
