And in doing so, I not only started getting really excited, because everything looks so amazing, but I also had the inspiration to share...
So here it goes.
I figure this is a perfect opportunity to introduce you to some inspired food bloggers too!
Whether you choose to have an entirely plant-based menu, have a vegetarian on your guest list and aren't sure what to make, or want to try mixing in a couple of new plant based recipes for sides this year ... This is a great place to begin!
Thanksgiving's really all about the beautiful assortment of side dishes in my opinion anyway.

Thanksgiving Appetizers!
There are many wonderful options when it comes to veggie appetizers, as many appetizers are naturally plant based! You could keep it simple with a veggie tray and hummus, a pickle and olive plate (my favorite), and some mixed nuts and vegan crackers... Or try out some of these amazing recipes:

Plant Based Thanksgiving Main Course Ideas
The traditional main course for thanksgiving is, of course, Turkey. But if you have some vegetarians attending your feast, or want to try out something new you can make one of these plant-based main course alternatives:
Vegan Butternut Squash Wellington
If you're looking for a Thanksgiving main to wow your guests, this is it! Squash stuffed with vegan sausage, almonds, cranberries and kale. Yum!
Is it Thanksgiving yet?
Mushroom Pot Pie with Sweet
Potato Crust
If Sweet Potatoes and Mushrooms don't say "Plant Based Thanksgiving" I don't know what does! But really, how incredible does this look? Delicious, beautiful and healthy too!
If you haven't tried roasted cauliflower before you're seriously missing out... This Whole Roasted Cauliflower is easy to make, presents beautifully... And you even get to carve it up like Turkey if you're sentimental like that.
Vegan Lentil Loaf with Cashew Gravy
Warm and hearty, this Lentil Loaf is the ultimate healthy comfort food. Plus its easy to make and pairs perfectly with Thanksgiving sides. Not sure how this would reheat, but it only takes 45 minutes to bake, so you may as well eat it hot out of the oven.
Stuffed Squash with Curried Lentils
Stuffed Squash is one of those recipes that makes for a show-stopping centerpiece. This Curried Lentil stuffing from frieddandelions.com brings the naturally delicious flavor of the squash to the next level.
Vegan Falafel with Cranberry Pear Dip
If you're looking for a festive entree to wow your guests, this recipe from Sina at VeganHeaven.com is it!
Plus, the falafel is Pan-fried so it won't take up any precious oven space on Thanksgiving day!
Thanksgiving Side Dishes
Yes... Bring on the all Vegan sides! For me, the side dishes are really what makes a Thanksgiving feast shine. And the great thing is there are so many amazing and all vegan side dishes to choose from!
Whether you're looking for a vegan twist on an old family favorite, or something new, fresh and healthy to mix in... Take a look at some of the amazing looking Thanksgiving side dishes I rounded up here:
Vegan Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
A Thanksgiving favorite, Mashed Potatoes and gravy are typically loaded with butter and cream... But just make a couple small tweaks by following this recipe and you'll have a delicious all vegan version that's probably even better than the recipe you're used to thanks to one secret ingredient 🙂 .
Pumpkin is delicious... And no... Not only in pie format! This beautiful pumpkin salad from Nina Olsson’s book, Bowls of Goodness features pumpkin, roasted beets, and a lemon tahini dressing. Seriously delicious... What's not to love? A perfect, fresh and beautiful addition to any Thanksgiving table.
Skip the overly processed and sugared stuff out of the can and try this delicious, raw, healthy and beautiful relish. This stuff is seriously delicious!

When you serve this Vegan, Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie from Minimalistbaker.com your guests will have no idea its not the original egg and cream loaded version... Unless of course you tell them!

These Pecan Pie Bliss Balls are super easy to make... And yet so incredibly delicious. I don't even feel like they need the chocolate drizzle, but hey it's Thanksgiving, so why not!? 😉

Seriously, these Raw Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are the perfect fusion between cheesecake and pumpkin pie... And yet somehow they still manage to be healthy! Yes please.
