mrveggieman Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'm not sure. I'm be spending it with the in-laws and all of them eat meat so I will be responsible for my own food. I'm considering either making my own veggie loaf, or buying one of those pre made veggie roasts. If I decide to buy a premade veggie roast what kinds would you reccomend?

sosso Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 When I was in the States a couple of years ago, I made a nut loaf, which everyone loved. We also had green bean casserole and other vegies. I think I also made smoked tofu, or maybe that was at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pv vegan Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I buy the Tofurky roast filled with stuffing and gravy every year for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I love it! It gives me that traditional holiday eating feeling and I don't have it any other time of year. Before my dad passed he happily ate it even though he was a diehard meat eater (I think it was the smothered in gravy part that made it ok for him). I'm also not much of a cook so just putting something in the oven and baking it fits my lazy style. This year I am heading to LA to spend Thanksgiving with my mom. I told her I would buy the Tofurkey but she wants to eat out instead so I am researching what vegan restaurants will be open on Thanksgiving day. She's a meat eater but will eat vegan if that's where I take her since she can't drive anymore. Happy Holidays to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hercules Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 ive always hated pumpkin pie, but i wonder how it's done vegan style. My mother, who help found the first health food store in my Midwestern hometown, transformed a recipe from the Betty Crocker Cookbook into a simple custard that could be poured into a pie crust or plain custard cups. I always baked it right in a glass brownie pan and sliced it into squares, then warmed it up and drizzled maple syrup and walnuts over the top. I am raw vegan now but some of you may still enjoy this: Pumpkin Pie Custard 2 15-ounce cans pumpkin3 eggs worth of egg substitute2 T vanilla3/4 C. brown sugar1/2 t. cinnamon1/4 t. cloves1/8 t. salt (opt.)1/2 C. flour (thickening agent) Mix together very well and pour into greased 8"x8" pan or pie dish.Cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake 50-60 minutes or until a knife stuck in the middle comes out clean. You can bump up the spices if you want or substitute part of the flour with vanilla protein powder. Baking this makes the whole house smell amazing!

BlueRose Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 My mom made me a cross between an eggplant parm and a veggie casserole, I supplied the Daiya cheese. She finally learned how to cook vegetables from Rachel Ray. Seasonings! The right amount of oil! And so incredibly tasty! I'm so proud of her. *sniff* (she's Irish. PAAAAIINFULLY Irish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
