Is the thought of a vegan Thanksgiving overwhelming? If so, relax. It’s super easy—all you have to do is use vegan products instead of animal products. That’s it.
Here are some popular vegan alternatives to common animal ingredients found in Thanksgiving recipes:
Here’s how you work it: Find out who is making the food for your Thanksgiving dinner and ask them to buy the vegan versions of these products and use them instead of the animal versions. No one will be able to tell the difference (I know from experience).
If you’re shut down, just make a couple of dishes of your own and take them with you to your Thanksgiving celebration! You’ll look like a good person for making food to share, plus you can still eat tasty food.
Oh, and be sure to show this guide to your parents if you haven’t already!
Good luck!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

I had vegan dishes for thanksgiving, but my mom is oddly against veganism so i had to watch my food so she would not accidentally add any dairy products.. I hate that my mom tries to stop me from being vegan it’s so annoying.
go vegans!

Haha, I know how that’s gonna turn out… my mom wouldn’t even let me have my OWN graduation party be vegan. We had to settle for vegetarian. :/
