So I'm planning on bringing a veg*n dish to my in-laws for thanksgiving and I can't decide what to bring. The items that I know will already be present at the table are: mashed potatoes stuffing soup (vegetable for me, chicken for everyone else) pureed turnips cranberry sauce turkey (for...

Can't decide if I want to make a faux meat main dish for thanksgiving or stick with something like stuffed mushroom caps. Don't know if a perceived "blank space" on the plate of no meat is more disappointing or if faux meat will seem too cooky.

My Pleo helped me do some Tofurky shopping! A happy Tofurky day to all! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/gucci_boi7782/PleoTofurky.jpg

Thursday's Show will feature recipes for a veg*n Thanksgiving .I saw an ad for it today and set my Tivo .It had chef Jeremy Fox and writer Jonathan Safran Foer and a film maker Robert Kenner talking about how we eat not only affects our bodies but the world so I thought some might liketo watch...

Ok, its not veg*n related, but it is holiday related and it reminded me so much of my past Thanksgivings that I just had to share. Unfortunately there are parts of it that are still part of my Thanksgiving day and I love every one of the little disasters. Here goes, hope it makes you smile a...

i cant wait for christmas!!!!! what do you all want? i want a new camera, gift cards, jewelery, make up, clothes...hahaha. probly more things that i cant think of at the moment.

I believe it falls on Oct. 12th this year and I'm already planning out a meal. I'm getting a tofurky 'thanksgiving feast' pack, last year I think I messed it up, but I think it will be better now with my experience. I am also planning on making mashed potatos, candied yams, spinach salad, but am...

Anybody have a recipe for a vegan fruitcake? You know, the egg-laden, heavy with dried and candied fruit, holiday staple? I LOVE fruitcake, and I know that eggs are an important part of its flavor and texture. And now that I've gone vegan (20 days! w00t!) I want to find a way to continue to...

I went in to Kroger a couple days ago and they had all their Halloween stuff out. Seems ridiculously early to me, but I'm also excited for it! What do you do for Halloween? I'm thinking about having a costume/scary movie party again, as I'm technically "too old" for trick-or-treating (nonsense,...

Why I dislike Christmas/Yule/Whatever: 1) Seeing children turn from innocent individuals to materialistic, needy, and whiny beings. 2) Seeing the poor trying to keep up with the hype of having all the things one 'needs' for Christmas (excess food, materialistic gifts, decorations) 3) The...

Please. :)

http://www.adoptaturkey.org/ i figured the holiday forum was best since it's about thanksgiving, but feel free to move if it's not in the right area. so, thanksgiving is getting closer and i thought i'd post this now so people could get a head start on participating with this. last year was...

I come from a family of meat eaters, and i would like to make some veg*n dishes to share with my family for christmas, (i usually just get lumped with a vegetable or two - boring!) i'm in australia so it will be hot! Any ideas? what does everyone else do for christmas? Thanks! :yes:

This thread is inspired by Alicia's thread 'Am I the only one who dislikes Christmas/Yule/Festivus ?' http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=111843 I mentioned that I do dislike the holidays, for all the reasons she mentions, but that I try to find the good in it regardless. You all...

Help, I just found out I'm hosting Thanksgiving dinner. I was a meat eater last year and this year I'm not. I'm having the family in and they will expect the same food from last year. They love it and they love eating the turkey. Any ideas please? I need a little bit of help here. I was...

I'm a college student vegan in a dire situation! My family is having their traditional (omni) Thanksgiving. I always dread family gatherings because of the constant pestering I get from family members who like to make fun of my diet. But this year, I want to show them up and prove to them how...

The Vegetarian Times sponsored forum on Facebook is hosting a topic similar to this one. Seems like a good idea so I'm stealing the idea :) How can vegetarians 'survive' being involved in traditional holiday meals? How do we help others survive us (Carol Adams refered to vegetarians as creating...

Here comes Thanksgiving and to me, it's just another day where my family and his can dig their spurs into me about being vegetarian. I'm hoping to smile and be gracefully ignorant of the things they say to me. Any one else worried about going through the same deal? :sick:

I figured this was the best place to share this. I just stumbled across this website that sells vegan wishbones. Lucky Break They are state of the art plastic that will break just like a real wishbone AND packaging and wishbone are recyclable! A pack of 10 is $8.49. Something neat to...
