buy veggie turkey and bake it, or veggie ham (wham) by Worthington foods and bake it with some type of sauce. I make a homemade gravy for the tofurky and for the veggie ham, make it like honey baked ham.





Make some cranberry sauce





Make cornbread stuffing- ngredients:

* 3 stalks celery, diced


* 1 tbsp sesame oil


* 1/2 tsp sage


* 1/2 tsp thyme


* 1 tsp parsley


* salt and pepper to taste


* 2 cups whole wheat bread, cubed


* 2 cups corn bread, cubed


* 1/2 cup vegetable broth





Preparation:


Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.





Sautee the onion and celery in the sesame oil.





In a large mixing bowl, combine the spices with the bread and vegan cornbread, mixing well. Add the onion and celery and stir to combine.





Add vegetable broth just until moistened, adding more or less as needed.





Bake for 20 minutes.











then make candied yams








have a apple pie











corn bread











and vegan maccaroni and cheese- 1 pound pasta (regular or gluten-free)





Blend together:


1 1/4 cups water


1 cup plain, fat-free soymilk (may use other non-dairy milk)


3/4 cup nutritional yeast


3 tablespoons cornstarch or potato starch


1 tablespoon lemon juice


1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)


1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


1 teaspoon onion powder


1/2 teaspoon dry mustard


1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika


1/2 teaspoon turmeric


pinch cayenne pepper


2 tablespoons tahini


1 teaspoon mellow white miso (or additional salt)


black pepper to taste





Put the pasta on to boil, according to package directions. While it's cooking, blend all remaining ingredients together in a blender. When the pasta is al dente, drain it, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and return the pasta to pan. Add the sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Add a little of the pasta water if more moistness is needed.





If the sauce is not as flavorful as you'd like, add a little more mustard and onion powder.
