Happy Vegetarian/Vegan Day of Giving and Thanks!

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful day, filled with good food, and good people!

This was my first holiday meal since I changed the way I eat. I didn't miss the meat one single moment of this meal, it was just as savory and delicious as any other holiday meal I've ever cooked.

Menu:

Green Bean Casserole w/homemade mushroom soup
Red potatoes, mashed
Gravy (ft. Mushrooms, fresh sage, shallots, garlic, ground black pepper)
Turk'y Roast (Quorn brand Turk'y Roast that was soy free, the texture and taste were pretty darn awesome)

Cranberry Jelly
Pumpkin Pie w/fresh whip cream

I found a local dairy that is sustainable, and kind to their small (45) herd of Jersey dairy cows (Lady Lane Farm in Mulino Oregon), and so I was able to make some butter, whipped cream, and have cream for my gravy and mushroom soup.

Everything I have learned about the farm is really good, but I am actually going to contact the owner to discuss a few more details before I decide whether or not I feel good about it.
