Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. My husband and son love to tease me by saying that it IS my favorite holiday... and maybe they are right. There are many reasons to love Thanksgiving - spending time with loved ones, eating delicious food, and taking time to be grateful for all that we have.

Eating plant based for Thanksgiving can be tricky though! If you are new to this way of eating, it can feel isolating and overwhelming. Thanksgiving wasn’t always a lovely plant-filled affair in my home. I had to navigate my own family’s traditions for a long time. I would bring a dish I wanted to eat and others would do their best to accommodate me.
