AHHH i’m so excited to share all this with you guys! i hope you like it!!
I know the vid is super long but hopefully people will still watch it because it is full of useful content I swear!!

This video includes 10 different vegan recipes for you to share with your friends/family this Thanksgiving! (or any other time really!)

Let me know if you guys make any of these & how they turned out!

β˜† β˜† β˜† β˜† β˜† β˜† β˜† INGREDIENTS / RECIPES β˜† β˜† β˜† β˜† β˜† β˜† β˜† β˜†

β†’ GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
For my casserole, I used the green bean/mushroom mixture from this recipe: http://minimalistbaker.com/vegan-green-bean-casserole/ (Just ignore the “crispy fried onions” part if you’re gonna use the below…)
& the “French Fried Onion Topping” from this recipe: http://ohmyveggies.com/vegan-green-bean-casserole/
Rice vinegar was fine for me though

Like I said in the video, I don’t think the boiling then ice bath step is necessary, so when I make it for actual Thanksgiving, I’m probably going to just make the mushroom sauce on the stove then combine that with raw green beans in the oven & bake for longer than the recipe originally says.

β†’ SEITAN TURKEY LOAF
http://inhabitat.com/make-your-own-tasty-vegetarian-turkey-for-thanksgiving-with-this-recipe/
For this, I was using a bouillon cube & the recipe used a bouillon paste, so I didn’t know really how much to put & ended up not putting enough, because you couldn’t really taste it in the end product. So just try your mixture before you cook it to make sure it’s seasoned enough.

β†’ STUFFING
For my stuffing, I just bought a packaged stuffing mix (Mine was from Sprouts, but many of them are already vegan – just check ingredients)
So just follow the directions on the package for cooking & then here’s some good add-ins:
chopped celery
chopped onion
chopped cashews/almonds/walnuts
craisins or raisins
chopped apple

β†’ CANDIED SWEET POTATOES & APPLES
2 large or 4 small sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 Granny Smith apples, diced
1 cup brown sugar (or 1/2 cup maple syrup)
1/2 cup non-dairy shortening
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup walnuts or pecans

MAKE THE SAME DAY YOU’RE GONNA SERVE IT. After it’s been in the fridge for a day, it starts lookin real ugly because of the apple (still delicious, just not pretty).

EDIT: I don’t recommend oil or earth balance! Coconut oil doesn’t want to mix & ends up clumpy. Earth Balance works OK but the oil tends to separate from the seasoning & doesn’t absorb as well as shortening.
Let me know if u tried a different fat & it worked for you.

β†’ ROASTED GARLIC MASHED POTATOES
For Roasted Garlic: https://youtu.be/gGXBpvLxwgI
For Mashed Potatoes:
I used 5 large yukon potatoes (but that ended up not fitting in my pot so i took a lil bit out)
1/4 cup vegan butter or olive oil
A splash of non-dairy, non-vanilla milk (optional)
Your Roasted Garlic (If you don’t want chunks, mash in a separate bowl first) or sautΓ©ed minced garlic
salt & pepper
chives

β†’ CRANBERRY SAUCE
3 cups cranberries
1 cup water
1 cup sugar

β†’ GRAVY
Everything to preference:
Olive oil
Vegan Bouillon+Water or Broth
Soy sauce or Liquid Aminos
All-Purpose Flour
seasoning / salt & pepper

β†’ DINNER ROLLS
I used store bought, half-baked rolls & followed the directions on the package (well not really, since I burnt them), but many generic (fully baked or half baked) rolls are already vegan – just check the ingredients.

β†’ PUMPKIN PIE
http://dish.allrecipes.com/how-to-make-a-pie-crust-step-by-step/ (video at the bottom)
For the CRUST:
2 Cups Flour
1 Cup non-dairy shortening or butter
1 Teaspoon Salt
about 1/2 cup of cold water (add spoon by spoon as you stir it in)

Then for the FILLING, I used the CLASSIC pie filling from this page on Oh She Glows, BUT NOT ANY OF THEIR CRUSTS so ignore that: https://ohsheglows.com/2011/11/20/vegan-pumpkin-pie-three-ways-classic-rustic-gluten-free/
Modified from the recipe page:
In a small bowl or mug, whisk together the maple syrup and arrowroot powder (or cornstarch).
In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients, adjusting spices to taste.
To bake: Scoop the filling into crust and smooth. Bake for about an hour at 350F.
Place on cooling rack for 1 hour.
Transfer to fridge to set for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight. (this is very important!)

β†’ COCONUT WHIP
1 can coconut cream/milk (just make sure it’s full-fat)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tsp vanilla
