GUIDE TO VEGAN THANKSGIVING / HOLIDAY FEAST (2017)
There’s gotta be something wrong with me with how many technical difficulties I had with this video… It’s ridiculous.
Sorry this is up so late, & that it’s pretty lazy-seeming. I always wish I could do more. Next semester I will be taking a smaller course load (hopefully) and so I’m looking forward to more time for YouTube.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
Shopping List:
* sweet potatoes
* non-dairy butter/margarine
* cinnamon & nutmeg
* brown sugar
* non-dairy milk

I just used almond milk for the “milk or half and half” part.
SWEET POTATOES & APPLES & WALNUTS
Shopping List:
* sweet potatoes
* granny smith apples
* vegan shortening
* walnuts
* cinnamon

Last year I used a vegan-friendly shortening called NUCOA. This is now available at Walmart (or at least my Walmart) & it’s what I recommend works best.
WILD RICE STUFFING
Shopping List:
* vegetable broth
* olive oil
* an onion
* some celery
* garlic
* vegan butter
* granny smith apples
* pecans
* cranberries/craisins
* sAGE
* AND salt & pepper
This recipe called for brown rice & wild rice but I found this Rice Blend at the store that included white, brown, wild, and red rice & so I used that.
TIP: Broil it a little at the end of baking.
ORIGINAL:
CREAMED CORN / CORN BREAD CASSEROLE?
* vegan Butter
* vegan Corn Bread Mix
* 2 cans Creamed Corn
* 1 can Whole Kernel Corn
Recipe called for 8.5oz of corn bread mix & the Trader Joe’s box was 16oz, so I just used half.
The recipe says 1 can of each type of corn but a review below recommends to try 2 cans creamed vs 1 can whole kernel so that’s what I ended up doing.
I also added salt pepper & paprika.

Shopping List:
* vegetable broth / bouillon
