Marisa Miller Wolfson’s Vegan At Heart Weekly Mission

I love me some Thanksgiving! I mean really, what’s better than sitting around the dinner table with friends and family enjoying some homemade nosh? Sure, the tradition is a little jenky (celebrating the slaughtering of a race of people with the slaughtering of a race of animals), but taking a moment to be thankful for one’s many blessings is always a positive! Today, I’m thankful that Vegan at Heart’s Marisa Miller Wolfson has compiled an amazing Thanksgiving vegan recipe round-up for our enjoyment. Check it out below!

Weekly Mission: Best of the Web Thanksgiving Recipe Round-up

Today your mission is see how many wonderful options there are for a healthy, compassionate Thanksgiving.

The web is ablaze with delicious Thanksgiving recipes that make it so easy to start a tasty, compassionate, heart-healthy family tradition.

I like to do a version of this five-star Traditional Tasting Tofurkey recipe from Vegweb.com that you can baste and fill with stuffing. Check out their amazing Thanksgiving recipe section, which includes a “Must Have Recipes” feature with more mouth-watering ideas.

I have yet to try a recipe from VegCooking.com’s vegan holiday section that I didn’t want to write bad love poetry about. Personal fave: Rosemary- and Hazelnut-Encrusted Seitan with Red Wine and Shallot Gravy.

Thanks to VeganBabe for bringing some of these to my attention:

Match Premium Vegan Stuffed Holiday Roast Recipe. Match “meats” are found at all NYC D’Agostino’s…in the meat section, I believe. Not in NYC? Enter your zip code for store locations or just order online.

I like the FieldRoast Celebration Roast so much that I invent holidays for myself for which to serve it: “EatYummyFood Day” and “ThisHasLotsofProtein Day.” It’s a bit small, so you might want to buy 2-3 for a larger group, but it involves zero work–big plus!

Gardein is a newer vegan meat on the scene that has gotten a big boost from Conscious Cook Tal Ronnen, who’s put together a Thanksgiving meal that includes sage and pumpkin seed encrusted gardein with cranberry cabernet sauce.

Watching your waistline? Check out FatFreeVegan’s blog for guilt-free recipes, including this amazing Celebration Pot Pie with Pumpkin Biscuit Crust. Plus, her sister site has a whole separate list of holiday recipes.

Finally, there’s always the old standby, a store-bought Tofurky, which should be available at most health food stores and larger grocery stores. They even make a whole boxed “Vegetarian Feast” for Lazy Lindas and Idle Ikes.

Nervous Nellies might want to try a test-run of a recipe this weekend to make sure it’s what you’re looking for. But either way, vegan Thanksgiving dishes are made with a little extra love, and that’s something we can all be thankful for.

Your fan,
Marisa
