The Thanksgiving Menu!

The Thanksgiving menu is hereeeeeee!! And I am so excited. I’m mostly stoked because I love to create cohesive, unique and interesting recipes for you all, and this is the first time I was able to create a WHOLE FREAKIN MENU (!!)

This was so so fun for me, and I plan to do a lot more meal plan round-ups, dinner party blog posts and holiday menus in the future via newsletter. I launch in two weeks so sign up if you want to be on the list!

Now onto the good stuff…

This Thanksgiving menu is meant to be mix-and-match. You can make some of it, you can make only one dish, or you can make it all. It’s totally up to you! You’ll notice some repeat ingredients, and that’s because I designed this menu with low-waste in mind, just in case anyone is having a small Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving this year.

I’ve broken it down into individual recipes with notes on how to adjust each one for a plant-based menu! You can just click on the recipe link and it will take you to the full blog post for that dish. I hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Radicchio Pear Salad with & Cranberry Dressing

Radicchio Pear Salad with Ricotta & Cranberry Dressing
This radicchio salad is perfect in its simplicity. Sweet, crunchy, creamy and bitter all perfectly combine to make a salad that deserves a place a Thanksgiving table (or any table for that matter!)

***For a vegan modification, I recommend omitting the ricotta or substituting in a vegan ricotta version.

Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Cranberry Soy Glaze

Crispy Sage Tofu

Crispy Sage Tofu
If you are looking for what to make on Thanksgiving for the vegans and vegetarians in your life – this shallow fried crispy sage tofu is it. It tastes like fall, crisps up perfectly, uses none of your precious oven space, plus it will even make some turkey eaters a little bit jealous 😉

Red Wine & Chocolate Galette

Red Wine & Chocolate Galette
This red wine & chocolate galette is the older, more sophisticated version of chocolate chip bourbon pecan pie. It's a holiday classic but with a twist. Super easy to whip up for any gathering or dinner party!

Tinned Fish potatoes with @patagoniaprovisions, my Tinned Fish potatoes with @patagoniaprovisions, my favorite mussels out there and the ones we could eat daily. And yes, Patagonia makes food! It’s the first question I get asked when I post with them, but they make my favorite tinned fish out there! The mackerel is addictive and the mussels help to restore ocean ecosystems (and are delicious, too!). Definitely worth being your tinned fish of choice 💚

Full recipe is on the blog, and I’ll link where to find Patagonia Provisions in my bio! #sponsored

TAJIN FETA you heard me right!! 5-second feta dres TAJIN FETA you heard me right!! 5-second feta dressing is my everything, and tajín feta by @athenosfeta is also my new everything. #AthenosPartner

This roasty, charred and spicy cauliflower cooks down with jammy, salty tomatoes, the flavors were inspired by Athenos’ new Tajín feta crumbles (!!!) which are the base of this simple dressing that’s packed with flavor. 

I’ve put these tangy, zippy feta crumbles in mini quesadillas, on avocado toast, in salads, and I think it’s their best invention yet. #FoodNeedsFeta and you can find this genius feta innovation at your grocery store! #AthenosPartner
