Meat Free Mondays: Vegetarian Thankgiving Recipes

by Jenni in


Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of year but it can also be one of the hardest for a vegetarian. Food comes by the tons over Thanksgiving, but very little of it is meat-free. That is where some tasty meat-free dishes that will please everyone come in quite handy! These yummy dishes are sure to be great sides, and one or two have been known to steal the spotlight all together. Sorry gravy, maybe next time.

Brussel Leaf and Baby Spinach Saute

Love for Brussel Sprouts, check. Love for spinach, check. Love for yummy things that are also health, big check. This Brussel and Spinach Saute not only sounds amazing, it looks absolutely incredible as well. The green color of the, well, greens, mixed with the light brown almonds makes me want to jump into my laptop and eat it all right now. Must Thanksgiving be two days away?

Stuffed Kabocha Squash with Quinoa and Chickpeas

This one seems to be a bit more work that your usual quinoa or potato side, but it also looks to be more than worth it... Really, this guy is worth the work for the pictures of your beautiful table alone. The fact that it is a healthy and vegetarian friendly option just makes it all the better.

Cranberry Sauce

Who says cranberry sauce is for the turkey alone? This lady has made a cranberry sauce that can be eaten as a side dish on it's own. This stuff is filled with fresh ginger, frozen cranberries, and cloves. Yes, yes, and yes!

Roasted Squash Toss

{via}

Mmm, nothing says fall like acorn squash and Thankgiving. Combine these to fall staples with this incredible looking acorn squash and veggie medley. Sure, it looks great, but really, all I want to do is eat it!
