The Everything Thanksgiving Thread

I just got back from Whole Foods, and all the tofurkeys, gardein roasts, and field roasts were on sale. It's a newly opened store, so maybe they had too many, or maybe just on sale to be nice right before Thanksgiving.

Igot1ofeach Because I will have one for Christmas and the other for maybe NYE?

They usually do put them on sale for the holidays. I see a lot of stores having sales on holiday staples right now, though.
I was at WF last week, and my store had Gardein and Tofurky on sale (both $17.99), but the holiday Field Roast was full-price at $24. I think the plain Tofurky (just the roast, no extras) was $12.

We did our American Thanksgiving a day early:

Field Roast Celebration Roast
Mashed potatoes
Glazed carrots and parsnips
Green bean casserole

Apple pie for dessert (see Food Porn thread)

Cooking right now!

When I got home from work today, I made my gingerbread cake, which didn't rise as much as I hoped but it smells delicious. While that was baking, I trimmed the green beans and separated the cloves of three heads of garlic for the potatoes.

I made my first successful stuffing. My mother made wonderful stuffing and it was really simple, so I'd always gone that route. I went more complex and it's fantastic.

Was going to start going tonight. But too much wine. Oh well, tomorrow comes early.

Lol, kibbleforlola . My apple pie just came out of the oven. The cranberry sauce and cranberry bread are done, as are the garlic mashed potatoes, chickpea cutlets and the fudge. I'm doing the Brussels sprouts, green beans, gravy and squash bake in the morning.

Your parsnips are gorgeous! Lovely meal.

It must be like having 2 christmases.

I usually get the Pepperidge Farms cornbread stuffing mix, but thought I'd try the WF brand this year. I think the WF mix was new last year.

Do you remember when there wasn't any WF brand? When the world was young, and all was good and sweet?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

One of my favourite desserts.

I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. So I decided to get started on some vegan-friendly sides to bring to my boyfriend's parent's place today. I cooked some turnip, I have a whole stalk of brussels sprouts trimmed and ready for baking, the timer on the roasted butternut squash is dinging as we speak, and I have a recipe for vegan crock pot apple cake I am just itchin' to try. Oh, and lest we forget, mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy fixins are on stand-by.

We already had our Canadian Thanksgiving so nothing special going on today. Nonetheless, we made a big millet pot pie with some homemade chunky chipotle catchup to go with it... looking forward to dinner tonight

 

[Freesia]

Curious about a millet pot pie, was it the filing that was millet or the crust?

The crust is just standard pie crust. The filling is millet and mushrooms and all sorts of stuff.

I'll see if I can put up the recipe later. I'm not at home now and it's buried in my girlfriend's recipe cabinet.

 

[Freesia]

Cool. I know you are probably busy eating it right now : ) .

I have some millet so I like reading about recipes with it.
