Then again aren’t I always? Anyways, here’s my long overdue Thanksgiving post that is almost (but not quite) a week late.

Clockwise from the olives are mashed red potatoes, Tofurky, green bean casserole, sweet bread, sweet potato casserole, and some veggies that I cooked my Tofurky in.

First up, are my mashed potatoes. These are really the only thing that I didn’t use a recipe for.

Ingredients: 

• 20 small red potatoes (mine were freakishly tiny for some reason)
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced.
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 ts dried basil
• Black Pepper to taste
• 3/4 ts dried rosemary
• non dairy milk (as needed)

Directions:

Boil your potatoes until soft, drain them, and immediately put them back in the warm pot. Add all of the ingredients with a splash of milk and begin to mash the potatoes. Add more milk as needed until you get the consistency you want.

Tofurky:

My Tofurky was the stuffing filled Tofurky brand roast that comes with its own gravy. I put it in my slow cooker with 2 cups of vegetable broth, a packet of onion soup mix, a splash of evoo, Ms. Dash table blend seasoning, one carrot chopped, a handful of chopped onions, and black pepper. I cooked it on high for two hours.

Green Bean Casserole:

I wanted to try something different for my green bean casserole and when I saw Sunny Vegan’s recipe that called for actual onion rings rather than those weird crispy things you get in a can, I knew I had to go for it.

Sweet potato casserole:

I was rather particular on the recipe I was going to use for my sweet potato casserole. It’s my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I could eat a well made sweet potato casserole for days weeks months. Anyhow, I’m a big fan of using candied pecans in place of marshmallows. Don’t get me wrong, I love a couple dandies in my hot cocoa every now and then, that’s about the only time I eat them though. They just taste like pure sugar to me. Fat Free Vegan’s recipe totally hit the spot. This is a recipe i’ll make in later winter months even after Thanksgiving is long gone.

Caramel Apple Pie:

My pie recipe comes from the lunchboxbunch’s blog. I’ve made this pie before and it’s always a hit. Actually, anything I make from her recipe index is always a hit. That woman knows what she’s doing in the kitchen!

And of course who can forget about leftovers!

I had quite a few leftover meals but this is the only one I photographed. It’s just ezekiel bread with (from bottom up) Veganaise, leftover Tofurky, fresh spinach, my favorite dill and herb cashew cheese, and another slice of bread. So good.
