Thanksgiving and then some.

Last weekend was thanksgiving in Canada. I actually remembered to take some pictures. Generally I haven't been eating anything fancy and therefore I don't bother.. even some of these are things I've probably posted before. But, it's comfort food, and I like it.

The homemade tofu roast, from La Dolce Vegan, with roasted onions on the ends. There were some skeptics before it was made, but everyone loved it in the end..



Stuffed spaghetti squash (sauteed onions and mushrooms for stuffing)..



My dinner plate, roast & stuffing, squash, mashed potatoes and roasted carrots (it was a very roasty sort of day.)



Pumpkin pie and tofu chocolate silk pie, which was a lot better than it looks.



And now on to non-thanksgiving food.. baked tofu and vegetables:



Mozzarella mac n cheese:



My favouritist french toast ever, from VwaV:



aand last but absolutely not least, "Heavenly Brownie Torte" from Sinfully Vegan.



As a side note, the delicious scones from the potluck that everyone wanted a recipe for? VwaV recipe, with some spices added in to taste and vegan cheese. Go figure.

and of course your non-thanksgiving food looks incredible as well - I love simple dishes like baked tofu & vegetables; and wow, that French toast and especially the heavenly torte look SENSATIONAL!! :0)

wow, that is quite a spread.

The tofu roast looks interesting, would you make it again? I'm looking for something to make for Thanksgiving here.

Fronch toast rocks, I haven't made it in awhile. And dang...that torte looks crazy good.

I would absolutely make it again, this is already become a holiday favourite in the family. And out of the 10 or so people that ate it (for the first time) this year, there were none that didn't come up to me after the meal and tell me how much they enjoyed it. I add more liquid smoke than it calls for and didn't follow the spice directions at all, but that's just me. It's a lot of work, and it looks bizarre, but it's totally worth it for special occasions.

That roast looks amazing... as does everything else! Come cook for my Thanksgiving!

Yum! That brownie at the end makes the post just perfect.

Your roast looks good. After your great review I might give that recipe a try this Thanksgiving. Looks yummy too me. Oh and the "Heavenly Brownie Torte" need I say more. Darn drooling on my keyboard again!

Love the name of your blog. I'm new to reading it, and it's promising to be fun!

I don't use my stove or oven much...well, ever really...since I eat mostly Raw now...but damn, if I used them, it'd be to make dishes like these!

Cheers!
