Happy Thanksgiving, but Spare the Turkey!

Here at Casa da Holly, we don't eat meat, but nor do I particularly care for Tofurky*, the cruelty-free turkey substitute that has gained so much popularity in recent years - this might be because I never cared for "real turkey" to begin with.

So, you may well ask, what do I serve up for Thanksgiving?

Today, the tot and I will be enjoying the following meal for one of my very favourite holidays:

• Succulent soy chicken breasts baked (covered) in lemon and garlic, and served with cranberry sauce.
• Mashed potatoes with skins, margarine and milk, with sea salt, black pepper and mushrooms.
• Vegetarian stuffing, with sesame sticks, TVP and onions added, and almond slivers crushed in.
• Steamed carrots, green beans and turnip.
• Raw apple slices with peanut butter on top (a particular favourite for the tot).
• Pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
• Sparkling nonalcoholic apple cider to add to the festive mood!

Yum, or what?

Happy holidays, one and all!
