We had a nice quiet Thanksgiving. I cooked the entire meal (except the rolls) which was a change of pace. We've always celebrated Thanksgiving with one of our sets of parents and extended family. I don't think Thanksgiving by ourselves will be a yearly event, but traveling with a 2 month old sounded too daunting. The quest for the perfect vegetarian meal combination started a few weeks ago and after a few blog searches, I settled on the following meal:
Quinoa stuffed Acorn Squash: http://ohmyveggies.com/a-vegetarian-thanksgiving-menu/
Roasted Green Beans
Whipped Sweet Potatoes (I just threw these together)
Ginger Orange Cranberry Sauce
100% Whole Wheat Rolls: www.greatharvest.com
Homemade Ice Cream: http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2010/06/16/recipe-homemade-maple-pecan-ice-cream/
It was refreshing to not have a HUGE meal waiting for us since this holiday is known for overindulgence. The meal was light and refreshing. We had a wonderful, healthy Thanksgiving, and we hope you did too!
