9 Delicious Vegan Thanksgiving Main Dishes

If you’re new to being vegan, or trying to raise vegan children, then you may think to yourself around this time of year ‘what am I going to be able to eat at Thanksgiving?’

Sure, there’s side dishes and desserts that are naturally vegan without making any changes to them. But, what about the main course? Is there such thing as vegan thanksgiving main dishes?

Of course!

Non-vegans may have turkey and ham; some people even call this holiday ‘turkey day’.

Well, vegans and those who eat plant based have plenty of options, too! And, it may not be as difficult as you think to make ‘vegan’ thanksgiving food.

Mac and cheese is a Thanksgiving classic, at least for my family! Luckily, you can still eat it when vegan; simply make a ‘cheese’ sauce, instead of using cheese made from cow’s milk. No need to buy the ‘alternative’ or dairy free packaged ‘cheeses’ either (I’m not a fan of those). Follow the recipe above or use this one which makes it’s sauce from veggies.
