Thanksgiving Feast 2013

I also baked an apple pie and made a huge batch of whipped coconut cream, but we were all too full to eat any dessert tonight.

  1. Wow it all looks fantastic! I had a vegan “meatloaf” made from lentils, brown rice, chia seeds, onions, and herbs. I also had vegan stuffing, and green beans with baby bella mushrooms. For dessert I made a pumpkin cake with a cream cheese frosting. Happy Holidays!

  2. That looks like an AMAZING feast! I’m going to pin it so I remember everything! I often say I’d like to host a vegan Thanksgiving or Christmas one year to show people how tasty and healthy it can be!
