Soooo, since I will the only person in my family not partaking in a dead bird, I shopped at Whole Foods and The Farm to make sure I am full on Thanksgiving. A girl still has to stuff herself silly, right?
My menu will consist of all the sides, but tweaked so that they are vegan, and mostly gluten and soy free. I did buy some soy Silk nog, because seriously? I can't get through the holidays without that rummed up nog with nutmeg on top. Ohhh yeah. Mashed potatoes will have rice milk and soy free earth balance. I will have a nuked sweet potato with cinnamon instead of the casserole which has butter and animal bone marshmallows (they were out of vegan ones at WF today - booooooo.) Butternut squash made with e.b., peas/onions, green beans w/garlic, a small portion of stuffing since there is wheat in it, salad, and I'm going to make some gf/vegan choco chip cookies. That should do it, and not send me too over the edge. I've had to detox the past couple of days after drinking and eating fried pickles this weekend, whups!
I am going to adopt a turkey tonight, to protest the slaughter of these poor birds. I know its tradition, but they didn't have a turkey at the first thanksgiving, so I won't have any at mine. I am thankful for so many things this year. My family, friends, animals I've helped, ending the clinical trial, meeting a great guy, and my health. I'll be working even harder in 2010!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
