@Bliss we make them at home. Hell of a lot cheaper than buying from store
I just decided to forgo a "main" this year. It's just me, and I always make WAY too much food.
I also don't try to make it all for Thursday, but extend the cooking over the weekend. (Typically, the dessert happens on Saturday.)
This year, I'm making stuffing w/ leeks and chestnuts; a "stuffed mushroom" casserole w/ vegan sausage; mashed potatoes; braised cabbage w/ apples; and a ginger-pear-galette w/ cranberry glaze.
I was inspired by people talking about how terrible green bean casserole is. And I like to have a mushroom dish at Thanksgiving.
So I'm thinking mushrooms, spinach, vegan bratwurst, wheat berries, homemade mushroom soup with vegan sour cream, and topped with fried onions.
