What does this picture have to do with Thanksgiving? Well, this light dinner we ate a few weeks back reminds me that that's about what I normally eat. I don't have to have an overflowing plate Thanksgiving Day just because it's a holiday. I hope I remember that next week. . .
OK, the moment many of us (including myself) have been waiting for: Our Menu Plan for Turkey-Day 2010.
This is an absolutely ingenious way of doing two things. Firstly, I traditionally do not like having more bread than sandwich, which is why I often don't purchase whole wheat buns because they are actually larger than hamburgers and sliced veggie-meat. Size here is perfect. Secondly, I love opportunities to reuse items. This round bread recycles cans.
My mother became a vegetarian the day after Thanksgiving when she was 21. It is much easier to be a vegetarian today than it was even 15 years ago. Thanksgiving meals can be quickly prepared with meatless substitutes that taste as good as the real thing. (Obviously, this idea is subject to personal opinion. After all, I've tried meat and don't like the taste of it. I can palate soy meats much easier.)
