How to Have Thanksgiving Without the Turkey

Thanksgiving is this week, and as you know, I don't eat turkey.  And after years of going to other people's gatherings and being offered a plate of iceberg lettuce for dinner, I decided I'd better cook my own grub.  So in 2005, I started hosting an annual vegan Thanksgiving buffet at my house, to which hippies and meat-eaters show up and enjoy!  


An easy way to "veganize" YOUR favorite holiday dish is to simply substitute all the meat and dairy ingredients for alternatives like soy meat, vanilla almond milk, and Daiya cheese.  Try it. It's a delicious way to stay in shape during the holidays!
