Arnold Layne had a strange hobby...

mindymaygan:

I’ve never been one to push a vegan or vegetarian diet onto anyone, but I will offer help if those are interested in changing their diet and lifestyle!

• I started eating vegetarian on a bet once, and never went back. So I figure, maybe it’ll be the same for someone else. My family is not vegan/veggie by any means, but they love the dishes I make so much that every holiday they skip the meat and indulge in a vegan meal. If you’re worried it’d be much too hard to do, just know that it’s almost EASIER than cooking a normal Thanksgiving meal. You can buy pre-made Tofurkeys in most supermarkets (which honestly, it’s a preference to get those, and I stray from them because I never liked Turkey in the first place) But you don’t HAVE to have turkey.

• This year I’m making a vegan lasagna with tofu, veggies, pesto, marinara sauce, & Daiya cheese. Tons of vegan side dishes too, my mom’s famous dressing or ‘stuffing’ is now veganized by switching the butter to vegan butter, and using veggie broth instead of those turkey drippings (*shudder*). mashed potatoes with vegan butter. gravy with mushrooms, pineapple-walnut-cranberry sauce and some other little sides, bells, & whistles.

So this was just to tell you how simple it really is to veganize/veggify your holiday meal, IF you’re interested. If it’s not your thing, that’s cool too. :)

here’s some links of more ideas too!
