The whole meal:
Starting with the mashed potatoes & gravy, going clock wise: cranberry sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes, celebration roast, and stuffing.
Mashed Potatoes were homemade, as was almost everything else. I mixed a lot of veggie broth and almost 2 sticks of Earth Balance, then blended it all together until creamy, adding salt and pepper as needed.
Stuffing was almost the same: lots of veg broth and Earth Balance, salt and pepper, and I also added sage and garlic salt mix for more flavor.
Gravy: veggie broth, Earth Balance, flour, browning sauce.
The "meat" was a Celebration Roast which I LOVE. I was not much of a fan of Tofurky Roast, though I want to try again now that my cooking skills have improved a lot.
Roasted Fingerlings: halved or quartered, tossed in olive oil, chopped rosemary and garlic salt and pepper, placed on cooking sheet until tender and a little brown on some sides.
Cranberry sauce: from a can. :P
Overall, quite successful, though I didn't have any veggies. Probably the most carb-tastic Thanksgiving I've ever had. I almost always fill up on the veggies, but I was just craving more carby things so that's how my plate wound up.
Welcome back to blogging!! I've missed your posts!! :0)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a delicious-looking Thanksgiving feast!! I too prefer the Celebration Roast over the Tofurky; oh and you NEED to make the cranberry sauce recipe from "Eat, Drink & Be Vegan" - it's simple, delectable, and will force you to NEVER want to buy that questionable "cranberry-like" product that comes in a can.
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am totally going to be more prepared next year. I had all of these big plans, but I wasn't able o do everything I wanted. Perhaps for Christmas dinner I'll try making my own cranberry sauce stuff.
