Even though it can be liberating to be in charge of Thanksgiving dinner, it also means that now YOU’RE IN CHARGE OF THANKSGIVING DINNER.
And if you’re not prepared, this can cause panic and anxiety in the days leading up to the holiday.

Enjoy an easy vegan Thanksgiving
Celebrating Thanksgiving as a kid is much different than celebrating as an adult.
As a kid, Thanksgiving meant no school, and hours watching Nickelodeon cartoon marathons in my bedroom. It meant Thanksgiving dinner precisely at noon, my mom extremely irritable from having to shuffle to the kitchen at 4 am that morning to start roasting the turkey. It meant eating turkey sandwiches and leftovers before it was even dark out, while a high volume of football droned on in the background.
And it meant as many servings of pie as I could take, before I’d collapse in my bed from a food coma.
“Don’t wake me I’m digesting!”
Now, as an adult (and as a vegan), I don’t have to repeat my moms Thanksgiving boot camp.
Instead, I can sleep in, have coffee with whipped topping by 9 am, and begin our annual Friends marathon in which we watch all the Thanksgiving episodes back to back. Because watching Monica and Ross fight over a football is the perfect way to start the holiday.
The best part? Making things vegan has never been easier. And with this collection of vegan sides in your back pocket, you’ll be more prepared than ever before.
You can then watch Joey borrow Phoebe’s maternity pants to eat Thanksgiving turkey in peace. Or as Joey would say, “These are my Thanksgiving pants!”.
You’re welcome.
