Vegan Thanksgiving 2021

Another vegan Thanksgiving is here. It's a day to be grateful and appreciative for the simple things in life. I prefer to focus on things like silent moments, gentle breezes, my favorite jacket, memories of life on the beach in the winter, the good people who are part of my amazing life story, and good plant-based foods. I shared my food with the family. Here is my part of the celebratory meal.

 
Chunky Vegan Mashed Potatoes
This is simply boiled and mashed potatoes with salt, oat milk, and Earth Balance buttery spread. A home-cooked meal is not complete without mashed potatoes. Always good.

Vegan Onion and Mushroom Gravy
I cooked diced onions and mushrooms in the skillet with soy sauce, then cooked them in water with spices. After it cooked down I blended it until mostly smooth and added oat milk. It tasted very much like beef gravy. 

Fried Tempeh With Gravy 
I lightly browned some Lightlife tempeh in the skillet and poured the vegan gravy over it. Excellent!

Green Beans with Potatoes
The green beans were cooked southern style with olive oil and potato chunks.
 
Seasoned Rice
I used white rice and added olive oil, red and yellow pepper, celery, garlic powder, spices, and salt.

Steamed Broccoli
At the last minute I threw a steamer bag of broccoli into the microwave. Steamed broccoli is great!
