Vegan food is food that contains no meat, dairy, eggs,
honey, or refined sugar. A vegan diet is completely free
of cholesterol, and as long as you limit your intake of
fatty margarines and oils, it is also low in fat. Now you
are probably wondering what a vegan eats, and especially
during the Vegan Thanksgiving.

Vegans can enjoy the same dishes that most people do.
Vegans eat dairy and egg-free pumpkin pies, gravy made
from vegetable broth, stuffing made without animal fat,
rolls with margarine made from vegetable oil, lots of
vegetables, yams, and yes, even 'turkey" on Vegan
Thanksgiving.

Replace turkey and ham with meat substitute products such
as 'wheat meat,' seasoned tofu, or 'Tofurky Drumsticks.'
Serve lightly steamed veggies such as broccoli,
cauliflower, and carrots; you will be surprised at how
many people will be happy to see them on the table. Make
sure you use as many organic vegetables and ingredients
as possible.

Add some fiber to your meal by serving whole wheat or
multigrain dinner rolls. Use vegetable broth for your
stuffing, and for delicious, fat-free gravy. Spice up
your stuffing and boost nutrition by adding pinion seeds
or corn; be creative! You can dramatically improve mashed
potatoes by using rice or soy milk, margarine made from
non-hydrogenated vegetable oil (Spectrum Brand margarine
is incredibly butter-like), and leave the skins on.

To reduce fat and take cholesterol out of your desserts
use rice or soy milk, and replace eggs with soft tofu.
Cookies can be made with unsweetened applesauce instead
of oil. You will also be pleasantly surprised to discover
that yams don't need marshmallows because they are
naturally sweet. There are so many ways to make a more
healthful holiday meal, enjoy yourself!
