Feeding a vegetarian on Thanksgiving does not have to be complicated. It’s all about having a good variety of options. Just keep an open mind, and have fun cooking something new. I’ve compiled some of the recipes that I’ve tested myself that would be suitable for a Thanksgiving spread.

Suitable for Main Course

• Stuffed Butternut Squash
• Acorn Squash Stuffed with Vegetarian Cajun Sausage
• Vegetarian Stuffed Zucchini
• Why not break free from the “normal” thanksgiving dishes – how about asian lettuce wraps or samosas? Or, how about my favorite, F’in Ziti?

Side Dishes – Potatoes/Pasta/Grains

• Easy Roasted Potatoes
• Risotto
  
• Ugandan Potatoes
• Zesty Quinoa with Broccoli and Cashews

Side Dishes – Lentils/Beans

• Slow-cooked Indian Lentils and Tomatoes
• Yellow Rice and Black Bean Salad
• Truffled Wild Mushrooms Over Whipped White Beans
• Sweet Potato, Corn and Black Beans - (this recipe is for burritos, but just make the stuffing and it’s a great side dish
