Holiday At The Homestead | 9 Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes

A common misconception with vegan cooking is that in some way or another, by using different ingredients, you’ll be compromising on the quality and taste. But this doesn’t need to be the case! You don’t need to buy crazy ingredients that you’ve never heard of before or jump feet first into tons of complicated recipes. Truthfully, vegan cooking often brings together complimentary and simple ingredients to create a medley of fresh and natural final dishes.

Here, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite 9 vegan recipes. Now I’m no master chef – so it’s safe to assume these are not overly complicated or foreign! I enjoy simple recipes that consistently provide a delicious result. So if you are looking to cater to friends and family, or just want to try something new this Thanksgiving, give these wonderful recipes a shot!

Brussel sprouts, butternut squash, apples, oh my! In my opinion, Brussel sprouts are highly underrated and get a bad rap from childhood distaste. But they are such a filling food that can take on flavors and when mixed with their earthy taste, create a delicious final meal! Give the store bought bag of dried bread a rest and create a stuffing that is fresh and unique.
