It’s less than a week away. No worries, I’ve got some great recipes for Thanksgiving this week! First, my friend Ryan over at The Veg Blog has a post about Thanksgiving definitely worth checking out.. you can find it here.
This year we’ll be going to a vegan potluck, which I am really excited about. If you are alone for the holidays or you just have one or 2 relatives coming in – check out meetup.com to see if there are any vegan groups near you doing a vegan thanksgiving. This way you get to sit around a table of food that you can eat and enjoy with people that won’t look at you weird for not partaking in what most consider a ‘traditional’ meal. Make your own, new traditions, with a few happier, healthier twists.
On to the recipes…
There a few awesome recipes on this post worth checking out: Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes
