What do vegetarians eat for Thanksgiving?

We eat all the side dishes, of course! Around 2pm, I realized I was going to meet my writing goals for the day early, so I decided to make us a big Thanksgiving dinner after all. Yes, I know this is another off-the-writing-topic post, but since I mentioned meeting my writing goals, I guess I can get away with it. I didn’t actually make green bean casserole because we don’t like it, but I thought the picture was by far the most appropriate for the day! By 6:30pm we were sitting down to:

The Menu

Vegetarian stuffing (turned out YUMMY!)

Mashed potatoes and gravy (Victor grew the potatoes! I made the gravy out of a roux, veggie stock, and milk and it turned out fantastic considering I just made it up!)

Creamed spinach and leek casserole (everyone’s favorite…we invited our neighbour Carol over at the last minute)

Homemade mac and cheese with roasted tomatoes (Victor grew the tomatoes!)

Glazed carrots (except I forgot to make them, so actually they were steamed carrots that we served after everyone was already sitting down!)

Corn bread from last night

Acorn squash (yep…Victor grew that too!)

And killer brownies with orange chocolate chunks for dessert, with vanilla tea
