Last Minute Recipes for a Vegan Thanksgiving! | ZardyPlants
Hey Reader,
Thanksgiving is almost here! With less than a week to prepare, it would be good to have some easy-yet-delicious vegan meals to work with. Luckily, we at ZardyPlants have be busy making fancy recipes just for the occasion. We're really proud of (and full from) our new Vegan Cordon Bleu recipe, that's just bursting with gooey vegan cheesy and flavor. So good!
Last Minute Vegan Thanksgiving Ideas
Vegan Cordon Bleu is crispy on the outside, chewy, and loaded with gooey vegan cheese and smoky vegan ham on the inside. This easy tofu recipe is satisfying, incredibly delicious, and fancy enough to serve guests yet easy enough to make any night.
Hearty, savory, and just a little sweet, this Vegan Challah Stuffing is the dressing that Thanksgiving dreams are made from. The solid yet delicious dried out bread chunks soak up all the tasty herby flavor and pair beautifully with any Thanksgiving main, like Seitan Turkey or Lentil Mushroom Loaf. BTW this recipe works with any bread! Other good choices include sourdough or another well-structured bread such as an Italian or French loaf.

This delicious, creamy, and crunchy Vegan Green Bean Casserole is made with homemade vegan cream of mushroom soup, fresh green beans (see notes for canned), a pinch of vegan cheese, and crispy onions for the best vegan side dish perfect for any holiday meal.
Smoky, rich, and packed with umami flavor, this Vegan Mushroom Gravy is easy to make and perfect for topping mashed potatoes, lentil loaf, and more.
Vegan Butternut Squash Risotto
Loaded with autumn flavors, this cozy Vegan Butternut Squash Risotto is a delicious entree or side. This easy rice dish is family friendly and perfect for a weeknight or a special occasion like a date night or holiday meal.

Hey, Reader. The first day of spring was the 19th where we are (sorry Australia) and that hopefully means lots of warmer, sunny days soon. Unfortunately for us, as we are writing this, it's snowing outside. This is pretty much par for the course in the midwest. Without mountains to our north, cold air sporadically blasts down from Canada. This means we can go from having weather in the the 70's (21 c) to the low 30's (-1 c) in just a few days. Despite this, we're going to celebrate spring for...
I've come to a sad realization, Reader. Fall has pretty much ended this year (at least here in Illinois, where it's been colder and we've even had snow recently).

Only a handful of trees still have leaves, I'm wearing my winter coat and gloves for the dog walk, and the wind isn't a cool breeze but a reminder of what's to come. So long, sweater weather. This also means that fall recipes are...
It's chilly outside Reader! Fall is not just in full swing in our part of the world, it's already started to end. The trees are almost bare, the fields are almost empty, and we've had a couple of days below freezing. Some not-so sun-filled days are ahead of us, I'm afraid. One silver lining to these more-than-brisk days is that soup season is back. Soup is so warm and cozy and it really can fill you up. And on top of all that, most soups are souper easy to make. At ZardyPlants, we have tons...
