I can’t believe how fast 2015 is speeding by! Can you believe that we’re only a few weeks away from December? Before we know it everything will be decked out for the holidays, and I can’t wait! I love Christmastime so much. But us Americans can’t get all excited about the upcoming December holiday festivities before first celebrating Thanksgiving.
I know that some people are completely on top of it when it comes to recipe planning for holidays, while others wait until the last minute. I’m somewhere in between the two, and I usually start seriously planning dishes for a holiday a week or two before it happens.
So, today seems like the perfect timing to share some vegetarian Thanksgiving recipe ideas for those of you who fall into the latter categories of holiday meal planners. Some of the recipes were recently published, some are from when I first start blogging, and some are recipes from my friends around the Web…. and all of them are delicious recipes for plant-based eaters and meat eaters alike to enjoy! Let’s get to it.
- Baked Sun-Dried Tomato & Artichoke Goat Cheese Dip
- Pumpkin-Sage Baked Ziti via Oh My Veggies
- Maple Pecan Goat Cheese with Cranberry Jam via Cookie Monster Cooking (I’m planning on making this appetizer for Thanksgiving!)
- Pomegranate Jeweled White Cheddar, Toasted Almond and Crispy Sage Cheeseball via How Sweet Eats
- Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Crumble via Making Thyme for Health (vegan)
- Spicy Roasted Squash with Feta & Herbs via How Sweet Eats
- Roasted Fennel with Parmesan Vinaigrette
- Rosemary Whole-Wheat Stuffing with Figs and Hazelnuts via Vegetarian Times (vegan)
- Not Your Grandma’s Apple Crumb Pie via Making Thyme for Health (vegan)… because I had to put a grandma recipe next to a recipe not from a grandma. Ha!
- Banoffee Pie via Oh She Glows & the My New Roots cookbook (vegan)
- Sautéed Rosemary Potatoes
- Pumpkin Apple Crumb Cake via Cookie Monster Cooking… which I’m also planning on making for Thanksgiving. Clearly I’m digging your recipes lately, miss Ashley! 😉
Tell me… What favorite dish are you planning on making for Thanksgiving?
When it comes to holiday meal planning, do you usually figure things out far in advance or more last minute?
