Happy Turkeyless Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving Kittens!

While I am drinking my morning Cup O' Joe and watching the Macy's Day Parade this Bearkat is getting ready to cook up her Turkey-Less Turkey Day. I am a vegetarian along with my other bearcubbies. Kyle is hardcore. Kyle is Vegan. I repeat. Kyle is hardcore.

A lot of people have a notion that its difficult to do a vegetarian holiday. But its so simple and best of all...unbelievably delicious!

Here is the Veggie Menu for the Day:
Mashed Potatoes
Cashew Nut Roast
Eggplant
Yams

My brother and his boyfriend will be making a tiny baby turkey, but as you can see this is plenty of food! These are so easy to make Dairy/Egg Free for all you Vegans out there. Just substitute the butter for vegan butter and the milk with soy or rice.

Also, I'd like to note that these recipes will also be completely Gluten Free. My brother and I both have Celiacs. It is genetic...so if you have a family member who suffers from this, you might want to get yourself checked out as well. For recipe ideas visit this blog I read all of the time.

This is my second Thanksgiving away from the norm. The norm being my parents house. I always get a little sentimental when I think of this. I miss the morning fight about my Dad not thawing the Turkey early enough. Always cutting myself peeling the potatoes. My brother and I calming my Mother's anxiety down by dancing around the kitchen.

Anything for a laugh. We are definitely not your normal average family, but everyone's family is insane. Everyone's family drives them mad. But we love them. Go tell them.

Happy Thankgsiving everyone!
