pumpkin pie brownies?! That sounds amazing.

From VCIYCJ! I'm actually not that impressed with them, but they are ok.
Were having the traditional stuff. Nothing elaborate or pecular here.
I did have KFC one year while my grandfather was having chemo treatments at a university hospital four hours away from me. That was his last Thanksgiving too.
then saute some onion, garlic
How much onion and garlic? (Like, 1/4 of a small onion / 1 clove garlic?)
not too much...I usually do about 2-3 Tb of chopped onion, then I use minced jarred garlic, but probably a clove would be good.
I am SOOO not motivated to cook today! I guess I just cook so much all the time and now that its expected of me I'm not in the mood.
I decided against the spin-art dip (might make it tomorrow since I already made the cheez part). I decided against pumpkin pie, just because I didn't feel like it. I did make a pecan pie-its in the oven. I forgot to pre-bake the crust, so I am worried its all going to be mush.
Pretty soon we will put our celebration roast in the oven. I am looking forward to that. And I didn't have to make it!
I am seriously cranky today. DOn't know why!
I wound up making tofurky, veggies, stuffed zucchini, basil green beans, and pumpkin pie.
And i got to eat random things too.
This is the most i've ate on thanksgiving in a longgg time! Eee.
It was soo good.
I hope everyone is taking pictures and posting them in this thread.
My RAW thanksgiving:
guacamole and zucchini chips

Happy Thanksgiving, VegWeb!!!
We had tofu spanakopita, sweetpotato-peanubutter soup (Moosewood recipe) with chopped green onions, dressing, my family's traditional Czech sweet and sour cabbage, orange cranberries, salad with slivered almonds and dried cranberries, vegan pumpkin pie and the pecan pie I found a recipe for here on VW--turned out great, btw. Oh, and a green bean/cashew/onion pate for crackers as well. No complaints other than feeling like they ate too much from omni parents, and I was doing a jig that DD13 made the spanakopita, orange cranberries and pumpkin pie herself this year!
The only problem with our holiday was that one of the greyhounds bounced onto my mother while she was sleeping during the night.
We had thanksgiving at my apartment this year we had
-Turkey (brought my a guest)
-Dressing (guest)
-Potato salad (guest)
and my sister and I made:
-Homemade cranberry sauce
-Herb roasted carrots and mushrooms
-Creamed peas served in bread cups
-Homemade bread
-Green beans with garlic, almonds and seasoned with basil
-Mashed potatoes
-Salad
-White chocolate chip cookies
-Sweet potato pie
Sarah I am jealous of your thanksgiving! I wish i could have ate me some of that!
I made:
-Steamed Veggies (Asparagus and broccoli)
-Roasted Butternut Squash
-Roasted Root Veggies (Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Parsnips)
-Fat Free Vegan's Impossible Vegan Pumpkin Pie
and I ate fresh fruit there...I didn't get a chance to photograph anything at dinner, but I took a pic of my pie :)

We ended up having:
Roasted butternut squash, other squash, and sweet potato (I made)
Roasted butternut squash, other squash, and beets (my aunt made)
Mashed up potato (my aunt left out of the mashed potatoes for us)
Fresh green beans with truffle oil, garlic, and almonds (my aunt made-the best green beans I've ever had!)
Two kinds of cranberry sauce (we each made one)
Crescent rolls (! my first time having them in years)
Raw veggies and olives
Pumpkin pie brownies (I made)
It was nice!
oh my goodness, Sarah, I wish I'd been at your Thanksgiving. That food looks delicious!
I was the only vegan among three other omnivores, but fortunately family was kind enough to make many, many veggies for me to choose from. I didn't really have a main dish, but I was more than satiated with my plate full of sides. I had grilled yellow squash, green beans with stewed tomatoes, glazed carrots, vegan stuffing (I hate stuffing, but I wanted to be polite since they went out of their way to ensure it was veggie), red potatoes, and a little bit of pumpkin pie for dessert. Not too bad. :)
Spinach dip (not the cheezy one with artichoke, it's just sour cream, soup mix and spinach.

and dessert: amazing pecan pie from vegweb with my grannie's homemade crust (accidentally vegan!)

Everything was awesome. Today I will make the spinach artichoke dip and photograph :)
L2A, is that the Hazelnut Cranberry Roast, or did you wrap the Celebration Roast in pastry? I was tempted to try it, but I like the regular Celebration Roast so much, I decided to stick with that.
Which cranberry salsa type stuff do you all make? Which one do you eat with the cream cheese, L2A?

yes, it is the hazelnut cranberry roast....I guess I called it wrong. You should try it! I've never had the regular.
