61 Best Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes

Own up.. Who was it? Who stole my year? It cannot be a whole year since I shared my 32 Recipes for Your Best-Ever Vegan Thanksgiving post. Seriously, I could swear that autumn only started last week … and here we are, almost into winter.

On the plus side… eat all the food! Once again, I turned to my blogging chums for inspiration, and wow, they certainly came up with the goods. In spades! Almost twice as many as last year! Check out all these vegan Thanksgiving recipes - and do try not to drool!

On a more serious note, let's not forget to be thankful for all the advantages we've been given; for our education, for our work, for our talents, for our health, for our homes, for our families, for our friends, and most importantly of all, for the love in our lives. We all have so much to be thankful for, and if sometimes we forget that throughout the year, let this be the one time we remember how truly blessed we are.

What are you thankful for?

    This looks just fabulous. I want to get stuck into everything. I tend to get a bit boring at Christmas and usually end up with the ever faithful lentil nut roast. Thanks for including it BTW. Anyway, this lot might just inspire me to do something different this year.
