Am I right or am I right????
For Thanksgiving I went with Isaac to his aunt and uncle’s house! His aunt prepared the turkey and all the sides – and we brought desserts and some vegetarian options. I really enjoyed being with his family, but I did miss my fam and the traditional items that my mom makes every year like sweet potato casserole and broccoli cheese casserole! Another thing is that I couldn’t really take pictures because I had a feeling that me snapping photos of the food would have left me with a lot of explaining to do without much understanding on the other end. I can’t wait until I have a table that seats more than 2 people and I can host a Thanksgiving meal at my casa with all the food photos my little heart desires!
Anyway, I wanted to bring some protein for us non-turkey eaters- Isaac’s mom (Ellen) and I. And since I have heard horror stories about Tofukery I ended up buying a Celebration Roast, which is vegetarian grain meat. It was YUMMY and the the ingredient list isn’t crazy: Filtered water, vital wheat gluten, expeller pressed safflower oil, naturally flavored yeast extract, barley malt, butternut squash, organic wheat flour, granulated garlic, apples, mushrooms, onion powder, garlic, organic wheat flakes, yellow pea flour, lemon juice, red wine, tomato paste, irish moss (sea vegetable) extract, black pepper, rubbed sage, rosemary, spices, natural liquid smoke and paprika. I also made the roasted root veggies I was thinking of making last week, which was basically just sweet poatotes, turnips, parsnips, carrots, onions, and garlic with olive oil, S&P, rosemary! SO DELISH!! And since I didn’t get any photos yesterday. Here are the left overs all packed up in tupperware:
My favorite part was defintely DESSERT- I totally went all out and ate my fair share!! I am lucky enough to have one quick snap that Isaac took when the desserts were being put out.
Isaac’s Grandma’s Apple Pie, Ellen’s Brown Rice Crispy treats made with brown rice syrup instead of marshmallows- these babies are incredidably easy to make and soo good, and my Pumpkin Pie. The only thing that is missing is Ellen’s Chocolate Chip cake, which was further right on the table.
Since there is a lack of photos for this Holiday, here’s one of Isaac and myself.
Happy Thanksgiving YALL! I’m feeling southern today. Have fun shopping if you are brave enough to be out there with the crazies!
