Vegan Thanksgiving recipes that will have people going back for seconds…or thirds.
The holiday season has descended upon us and it is time to start plotting out our thanksgiving and Christmas dinner menus. Holiday cooking can be challenging when you have to cater to a multitude of diets and food sensitivities.
If you’ve spent any time on the internet this year, you know that veganism is on the rise. That means you are likely to have at least one guest at your table who is vegan or vegan-curious.
In order to keep everyone happy and full this Thanksgiving (or Christmas), why not prepare a selection of vegan side dishes to accompany your Turkey (or tofurkey) dinner.
