Thanksgiving 2014 was another great one, and I'm still feeling the glow days later. My parents came up for the second year in a row, and we shared a plant-based Thanksgiving feast that I have been planning for weeks.
I shared my menu a few weeks ago, and there were only a few changes since then. In the end it was all vegan, gluten-free (except the rolls), and refined-sugar free (stevia and maple syrup in the pie). Here's how it all turned out:

The stuffing was the most laborious dish, because I made two different vegan/gluten-free breads
from scratch to go into it. It was amazing and so worth it. Here's the recipe I used
(You don't have to make your own bread for it).

| These mini garlic rolls were a last minute creation. I'll share the easy instructions in a post soon. |

| Rosemary mashed potatoes. A classic. |
 |
Simple roasted green beans.

 |
| Sweet Potato Casserole. A first time attempt for me, and too sweet for my dinner tastes. I think I need everything on my Thanksgiving plate to taste great with gravy. |
 |
| Here's my plate! Slathered in mushroom gravy, just the way I like it. |
And some non-food stuff:

| Made these place card gratitude lists out of ironed out packing paper. |
Hanging out with mom and dad!
Being silly in the kitchen.
And this was really special... we re-took this photo that my parents took on their honeymoon 32 years ago! Such a great few days.
I hope you also had some wonderful moments with your loved ones this week, and enjoy the rest of the holiday season!
