The holidays can suck if you’re a vegan. Everyone on Earth will question what you eat, how you survive and change the holiday of THANKSGIVING to turkey day.
So along with my rock star vegan pals Bryan Adams(what?!), Geezer Butler, k.d. Lang, Alanis Morrisette, members of the amazing band The Church, and Silverstein, Ozzy Osborne, Jon Robb, Thom Yorke, Michael Franti, Garth Brooks (yup!), The beautiful Chrissie Hynde, Anthony Keidis, Grace Slick, and Prince I offer you options on behalf of PETA on how to have a cruelty free thanksgiving holiday.
First and foremost this holiday is not about gluttony but about appreciation. I’m thinking that you should be a bit more appreciative of the world around you and the creatures who live in it. Look it’s no day in the park to be vegan and thousands of Aunts will suggest you just ‘pick the meat out of the salad’ but rather than complain bring something with you to your holiday gatherings so you have one sure bet of plateful. It’s simple and it’s the right thing to do. If you would like to invite me over and you have an immaculate kitchen here are some tips to make my visit more enjoyable.
· Great gravy is a cinch with canned Franco-American mushroom gravy or Hain instant vegan gravy, available in traditional brown or “chicken” flavors. Just add water and simmer.
· When baking the holiday bread, be sure to use an egg replacer and soy milk in place of eggs and milk.
· Not sure what to make for hors d’oeuvres? Check out our recipe page and choose from a variety of tasty vegan recipes.
· Swap the milk and butter with soy milk and margarine for vegan mashed potatoes that everyone will love.
· pick up some nondairy ice cream for a quick and delicious dessert.
· Be sure to have a vegan dressing for the salad
· Forgo the butter this year and use margarine instead. Try Earth Balance
· Save time in the kitchen by having each of your guests bring a vegan dish to share.
