Recapping Thanks(giving)
Welcome back to Monday, everyone! Sorry no blogging over the holiday for me. Taking a break was kind of nice. I checked my email once this whole weekend. Crazy.
Anyway, let me recap my Thanksgiving feast of healthy dishes. On Thursday, Anne and her husband came over and brought some great vegan dishes to share and together we made a vegan, raw pumpkin pie. Here’s our meal:
Garlic Pumpkin Knots from Oh She Glows, by Lori and Anne
Green Salad by Anne
Sweet Potato & Yam Mash by Lori
Sweet Baked Sweet Potatoes by Anne
Raw (naturally sweetened) Cranberry Sauce by Anne
Cooked Cranberry Sauce by Anne
Cornish Game Hens by Sascha (no turkey 🙁 )
Gluten Free Stuffing by Anne
Full-Fat Gravy by Sascha
Vegan “Gravy” adapted from Eat, Drink, & Be Vegan by Lori
There was also wine. Let’s never forget about the wine. And dessert…
Raw(ish) No-Bake, Vegan Pumpkin Pie
And Truffles! These guys were super rich and so easy to make. I highly suggest making them… recipe by Alisa Cooks!
I also went home to visit my parents and sister with Sascha (boyfriend) and made an appearance at a local bar.
Good times.
Happy Cyber Monday. Try not to spend too much money today.

looks so yummy! I made your miso salmon last night, so delicious, although a little salty. I think next time a little less miso for me and maybe add some ginger dressing. I also cannot stop making your spaghetti squash mac and cheese I am totally addicted to it.
You have NO idea how jealous I am that a fellow foodie and blogger prepared your Thanksgiving for you! IT ALL LOOKS SO SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS! I am glad you had a wonderful holiday!

Good for you taking the long weekend off! I worked most of it, so it was kind of a regular weekend for me.
The best part was waking up on Sunday to an un-forcasted 6 inches of fresh snow! And it snowed all day long, too. So nice to watch….from inside, where it is warm and cozy. 😉
Looks like a yummy spread! I’d love the raw cranberry recipe. I made the cranberry blueberry (cooked) sauce from Peas and Thank You and it was fantastic!
My favorite part was getting back home. Not that I didn’t love seeing my family, but I also loved being back in my space after 8 days on the road.
Happy Monday to you!

I think it’s so good to take a break from cyberworld every now and then. Good for you!
Food, as always, looks delectable and sounds like much fun was had in its production and consumption both.
Snow on the ground here but sun shining: hope you’re enjoying your outside world today.
love
