Just saying that meat balances a diet out. And thanksgiving is a hard holiday to be a vegan around cooking wise

hmmmm...I have my meat...

and I eat fish every now and then...but even when I ate meat I did not eat meat on thanksgiving...I always ate like a vegetarian lol

Well, we bought a electric turkey fryer last Christmas. We fried a Turkey Breast but for Thanksgiving we are gonna do a whole turkey. I know we're going to have cornbread with actual corn in it, Mac & Chesse with 5 different cheeses in it. I'm cooking braised red cabbage. If you have ever ate at a restaurant called "Houston's" they have it there. I can cook the exact same thing and it's good. My mother is going to cook us some sweet potato pie and her pies don't taste like everyone else's so I can't wait for that. Greens and dressing and we are going to be eating really good.
