I've had several requests for a lineup of my own favorite Thanksgiving Recipes so here we go.
I think I'll call this one "A BNV Thanksgiving".
Holiday Vegan Dressing
What would Thanksgiving be without good old-fashioned dressing?
But it’s usually made with STICKS of butter…..right? And even though we could use VEGAN butter…..that’s still a LOT of fat! So I made my own Holiday Vegan Dressing this year, without any oil, butter, or fat.
And let me tell you….this…. stuff…..kicks….. butt.
Holiday Wild Rice
Don’t you just LOVE November? That crisp, fall air? Those beautiful colored leaves? And of course the smells of all those yummy Holiday Recipes? Like this Holiday Instant Pot Wild Rice.
Southern Style Green Beans
Cooking green beans in the south is a VERY personalized country tradition, so mom…..please don’t shoot me for making these VEGAN Green Beans. I still did it the old-fashioned way, I promise.

Meat Lovers Seitan Meatloaf
People think our food is boring. Whatever….we know better, don’t we?
For example here’s my dinner last night, this amazing Seitan Meatloaf, which I sliced up and smothered with my Vegan Gravy, and served with a side of potatoes and steamed veggies.

Holiday Vegan Meatloaf
Not a fan of Seitan? No problem I got you covered.
THIS meatloaf is comprised of just veggies and whole grains and comes out as moist and firm as any meatloaf you've ever seen. And best of all, it SLICES into beautiful strips just begging to go on a meatloaf sandwich.

Best Ever Fat-Free Gravy
Ahhhh gravy. Where would we be without it? Gravy was like my number one comfort food growing up, so how on earth would I ever give it up switching to a plant-based diet? I didn’t – instead, I learned to make the absolute BEST VEGAN GRAVY ever and I swear it’s every bit as good.

Vegan Mushroom Gravy
And for those of you who like a few mushrooms mixed in with that gravy....
Homemade Potato Rolls
Don't forget the Rolls......gotta have something to sop up all that gravy!
Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole
Not only is this a VEGAN Sweet Potato Casserole – there is absolutely NO butter, coconut oil, or any other kind of madness in it either! Just pure Sweet Potato goodness!

Vegan Garlic Mashed Potatoes
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought I’d share with you probably one of my easiest recipes yet. My VeganGarlic Mashed Potatoes, dairy-free of course. It’s a staple for the holidays, and I wanted to show you how easy they are to make.
Sugar-Free Cranberry Sauce
For years now, we have simply plopped down one of those blobs of canned Cranberry Sauce on our Holiday Table and called it good. Well, NO MORE! This year I actually made a homemade Sugar-Free Cranberry Sauce and it’s a whole lot easier than you think!
And with this my friends…… my Thanksgiving just became very happy.
Happy Holidays Everyone!

When I was a teenager I learned to make bread. My more or less non-cooking mother thought I was sooo gifted. In the winter I put the bread to rise on a heating pad set on low. All went well until my father grabbed my heating pad for his sore back and the whole house smelled like home made bread. Thanks for the recipes They look so good.

Is there a recipe for your stuffing? Love the picture. Went to a vegan dinner last night. So good but sure was not no oil.
Chuck Underwood
Yes! Look for the search bar across the top of the page and search for Vegan Dressing

Only one item missing-pumpkin pie for dessert. Awesome meal.
Cedars
I put this meal in the rare and appropriate category. I have been removing powdered (flours) grains from my diet and trying not to eat below rolled. Thanksgiving qualifies for me. Thank you so much for helping me keep some family traditions. Now to find the cute little turkey mold for single servings-maybe a cookie cutter would work.

Hey, Chuck, I haven’t found my favorite loaf yet. When I love the flavors, they tend to fall apart. I need to try your holiday loaf and should probably just follow the recipe exactly the first time especially since you said it is firm and holds up as sandwich slices. But Is it crazy to think I could add some pieces of fresh seitan (we have fresh local seitan at our food coop) to a recipe like your holiday loaf?
