My family’s Thanksgiving Dinner menu is set in stone… normally. But this time around, I’m unable to persuade the daughter to forego her plant-based diet. So now I’m not sure what to serve.
Of course she’s assured me she’d be fine to just nosh on bread and a couple of side dishes as long as they’re not served or slathered with butter.
But c’mon now… I can’t have her eating just side dishes on Thanksgiving! I need to serve her a good… no, great Thanksgiving meal!
And actually, even the side dishes are not exactly vegan-friendly either. Perennial favorites (and therefore, a must or else…) such as corn pudding, green bean casserole, stuffing, and mashed potatoes all need either eggs, chicken stock, milk, or cream. And the gravy! How am I going to make good gravy without meat drippings?!
The challenge has been set. By and for me… 😬
I do know one thing, however. These pretty pumpkin rolls, which are a new addition to our Thanksgiving Dinner, can easily be made vegan.
They’re as good and as soft as their non-vegan counterpart. And therefore, Skye-approved. That’s my canine baby – she LOVES these rolls!!
Since I won’t “see” you again until after Thanksgiving, let me take this opportunity to wish you all…
Now It’s Features Time!

That. Casserole sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Hi There! Thanks so much for featuring my stuffed mushrooms! Happy Thanksgiving. XO- MaryJo
I love those stuffed mushrooms! I love quail eggs!
Happy Friday Angie, and thanks for hosting.
I linked up this week with = 19+20. Hope you will join us M-S SeniorSalonPitStop and W-S #WordlessWednesday. You will find both under BLOGGING.
You’re welcome and thanks!
I don’t envy you Angie. For years we have celebrated Thanksgiving (and Christmas) with friends whom have vegan and vegetarian family members. Vegetarian is not so difficult, there are wonderful sausage substitutes to use in the dressing…but vegan, that’s a tough one. I will be interested in what you come up with. Have a wonderful holiday and I would be willing to help out by co-hosting.

Oh, great! Would you be able to cohost this coming Friday? Please let me know! And for Thanksgiving, I think I’ll just veganize all of the side dishes and maybe make or buy a small vegan “turkey” roast.
Hey, Angie! The pumpkin rolls look so lovely! I am sure your daughter will love them! Sorry, I am late! Same excuse: busy week. But better late than never, right? 😅
Exactly! Always better late than never; that’s my motto, too. So glad you can make it! Unfortunately, can’t say the same about the pumpkin rolls. There was no time to make them! I made crescent rolls instead, using store-bought dough, lol.
My suggestions have been sent via email Angie.
Oh great, thanks so much!
