We’ve made it to Thanksgiving season again! With the biggest feasting holiday of the year only 2 and a half weeks away, I thought I’d share my healthy and vegan Thanksgiving recipes earlier than I normally do so that people can start planning their holiday weekend meal well ahead of time for themselves as well as to share with guests in case a potluck is being planned!
Check out a full week of holiday deliciousness fit for vegans, gluten free eaters and all special diets. Tons of flavor and holiday flare, we’ve worked out the menu so all you have to do is shop, cook and enjoy the week!
