It's been a nice long break after Vegan MoFo, and now I am revved up for a holiday feast. After lots of research and hearing what family members are bringing to the meal (at my brother-in-law's house), I'll end up making a pretty huge spread on my own. Here's my plan.*
Appetizer: Pumpkin Arancini
http://bittersweetblog.wordpress.com/2010/12/20/baking-burn-out/
Bread: butterflake rolls
http://www.inspiredeats.com/vegan-butterflake-rolls/
Roast: Thanksgiving Meatless Loaf

Gravy: Silky chickpea gravy
Appetite for Reduction
Potatoes: Kale and olive oil mashed potatoes

Veg: green beans*

Dessert: Chocolate peanut butter pretzel tart

*Note: Green beans (and fresh dill) were unavailable, so I bought asparagus. I'll probably just roast it in tamari and agave, or try to find a simple recipe tomorrow.
