    Vegetarian Thanksgiving Entrees

    November 20, 2017 2 Comments

    Thanksgiving is about the food. Sure, we give thanks and mean it, but really it's about the food. Just because most magazine covers have been touting the best, quickest, easiest ways to do your turkey this year, that's no reason for vegetarians to feel deprived. There are a wealth of entrees we can have, and know we had the best meal at the table.

    Side dishes are easy, but I always look for a dish filling enough and yes, gorgeous enough, that I can serve as an entree. Looking for some entree ideas for your table? Look no further - here's a roundup of a ton of ideas for you from roasted whole butternut squash to stuffed acorn squash, cauliflower steaks, stuffed portabellas, and vegan pot pies.

    Susan at The Wimpy Vegetarian

    I'm a mostly vegetarian married to a mostly carnivore and am on a constant hunt for healthy, delicious recipes we'll both like. Most recipes here are vegetarian with tips for adding meat or fish for the meat-eaters at the table. Whether you're vegetarian, or just wanting to eat less meat, I hope you'll find inspiration here to try something new for your own table, even if you're sharing it with someone with different eating preferences.
