Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup!

[Chocolate Pumpkin Pôts de Crèmel

Have you been keeping up with Vegan MoFo?  Now that I’ve backed out  of the festivities because I knew I couldn’t keep up–well, here I am, posting virtually every day in October thus far!  With our Ontario elections today (go out and vote, people!) and our Thanksgiving coming up (stay home and eat, people!), I’m pretty sure this bombarding-you-with-a-blog-post-a-day foolishness will come to an end asap (though don’t forget to come back tonight for this week’s Wellness Weekend, of course!) 😉

In any case, I couldn’t let the weekend arrive without offering my picks for Thanksgiving-appropriate recipes for the big weekend.  My own feast menu is almost crystallized, but sadly, I won’t get the recipes posted until after the holiday–but hey, you can always use those for the next celebration (and believe me, you will want to save that dessert recipe for just that purpose.  Swoon.).

For those of you who haven’t yet finalized all your dishes, welcome to my world  here are some suggestions for what might work at your Thanksgiving table.  And don’t forget there are more anti-candida friendly recipes in my Anti-Candida Feast ebook (specifically holiday-themed), Desserts without Compromise and Good Morning! Breakfasts.  🙂

And to all my Canadian brethren, hope you have a fantastic long weekend. And if you’ve got a favorite Thanksgiving recipe to share, please leave a link in the comments section!

Happy Thanksgiving, all!
