Thanksgiving was a nice distraction though. I got to spend time with family and friends, eat amazing food, and sleep in for a few days. I thought this week's recipe post should be a recap of my first vegetarian Thanksgiving. Here was the menu:
Protein: Quorn Turk'y Roast
Gravy: Recipe from AllRecipes
Stuffing: Purchased from Plum Market in a box, had no animal products, used vegetable broth
I think that's all of my meat free accommodations. My mom and I made everything the day before Thanksgiving, the day Matt and I ate with her and my Grandma, and then on Thanksgiving I was able to just heat up my left overs at the Tinseys. Overall I thought everything tasted great. The gravy was probably the best, I was really impressed with how it turned out. At my house everyone used it, there was no traditional gravy, and no one seemed to mind it. The fake turkey was a little bland, especially because I forgot to thaw it and was in a rush come dinner time to get it cooked. A little salt and pepper would have helped, but with the gravy it was fine. The stuffing had a fine flavor, but also needed the gravy to make it a little more moist.
My mom of course made her completely homemade pumpkin pies, which were delicious. I made cupcakes to take to Matt's, the recipe was from a Rachel Ray magazine. They were pumpkin with cream cheese filling, very good.
In closing, a picture of something other than food, the crew at the Tinsey Thanksgiving :)
