Vegetarian Thanksgiving Ideas

18th November, 2011 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

If you’re committed enough to going meatless for Thanksgiving to help the environment, I found some mouth-watering looking ideas for a vegetarian Thanksgiving from the New York Times here.  Some recipes I’d like to try include the baked kataifi-wrapped goat cheese,  brioche stuffing with chestnuts and figs, and pumpkin seed battered “chicken” with cranberry cabernet sauce.  I’ve always loved the sides more than the bird anyway Check them out!

However, if you’re not up for giving up the turkey, you can still make a big impact by buying a local, organic turkey.

Nixing the paper plates and plastic utensils, using green cleaning products to clean the house before your holiday guests arrive, as well as buying your veggies from a local farm also make a big difference!
