Our 100% Vegan Thanksgiving Feast!
This year I was lucky enough to have
my boyfriend Chris by my side, not only to join me in the kitchen, but to also help me stay grounded and grateful this holiday season. He always brings such positive energy into our time spent together, and somehow is always able to create a stress-free environment, which is exactly what I needed preparing for this day. We spent pretty much all of Wednesday and Thursday prepping what you see below, and what a whirlwind it was! In a good way, of course ;)
Chris and I vlogged our two days together as well, check out the video below!

Below I have share
all of the recipes* for you to enjoy not only on Thanksgiving, but with your loved ones year round. Remember to celebrate what IS, and not to focus on what IS NOT. Love yourself and choose health, always <3

We have gotten through the appetizers and entrees of my 2015 
Dare I say this is the BEST vegan creamed corn? I have reason to make such a statement, I couldn't believe how good this turned out.
There are a TON of vegan creamed corn recipes online that use coconut milk, and that always threw me off. What I wanted out of this creamed corn recipe was a replication of the one my mother used to make, that was unfortunately ladened with animal products {milk, heavy cream and butter}. What I have been trying to do over the last few years is veganize as many of my mothers traditional recipes that I can, and creamed corn has been a big challenge for me. I assumed that the coconut would compromise the flavor, so I never gave it a shot. I also I didn't know if it would live up to the same appeal of the other to my family. After being unsatisfied with other non-dairy milk alternatives (I have tried soy and almond), it was my last shot, and I hoped for the best.
What's Thanksgiving dinner without a hearty serving of stuffing?
Growing up, I used to LOVE my mom's stuffing, I thought she was the most talented chef in the kitchen based on this one dish, as she would deliver every year, and the flavor would always be spot on. Once I grew up, my mom shared her secret recipe with me when I aided her in Thanksgiving prep....Stove Top Stuffing...uhhh, I'll pass!
Once going vegan, and shifting away from processed, prepackaged foods, I needed to find myself a replacement for this family 'tradition' we used to share. I also wanted to challenge myself and try for a gluten-free recipe as well.
