I personally haven’t eaten turkey for 23 years and have been known to bring a chickpea loaf as my contribution to Thanksgiving dinner. Complete with a milk-based soy sauce gravy! And always cooked mashed potatoes. And often a cheesy broccoli casserole too.

As this is my first raw Thanksgiving I decided to attempt some raw versions of traditional fall dishes. To be honest, I don’t know how I feel about these dishes I’ve made yet. I really prefer just eating green salads all the time!  But tomorrow is the big day so we’ll see how it goes!

Cranberry Sauce

Sweet Potato Casserole

Napa Cabbage Salad

Pumpkin Pie

Edit, late night Thanksgiving Eve: I just can’t stop. I keep finding more recipes to try! Now I’ve made a nut cream for the pumpkin pie, and a “tabouleh”-like dish. The cream is made from cashews, macadamias, and dates.  The tabouleh is actually made from “riced” cauliflower instead of bulgur wheat, pulsed in the food processor until it resembles rice. It turned out great and I’m sure will become a staple at my house. Here are the pics for now, recipes to follow in another post!
