Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a day of giving thanks, no really! The name doesn't give it away or anything! I spent to the day with my wonderful family, whom I am thankful for. One of the things I love about thanksgiving is the food. My family likes to try new recipes and alternative foods so I am able to throw something odd into the mix.


This years menu was:
Steamed green beans with pomegranate seeds and roasted almond slivers
Roasted parsnips, potatoes, and sweet potatoes
Quinoa goodness
Organic turkey
Yorkshire pudding (English bread)
Cranberry relish
Vegan banana rum cheese cake



I didn't get pummeled by the family for substituting quinoa goodness for stuffing so that was good. My sister did however threaten to put me in a closet while she made stuffing! Did you notice that stuffing wasn't on the menu?! The cheese cake was really good. Easy enough to make and even my mother ate it. This is huge people. My mother hates tofu and stays at least 10 feet away from the stuff. But she ate it and said it was "very good". So, two for the vegan team.

Thank you to everyone who told me they like my blog. I am most appreciative for the support and love.
