CARYN'S TOP 5 FAVORITE THANKSGIVING RECIPES! 🚫🦃

I have been writing recipes since I started STL Veg Girl back in 2011. For those of you who know me, you know that I say writing them feels like a punishment; after a session of playing a dash of this and a pinch of that and then translating that into exact words to get the same outcome of flavors and textures each time can be nothing less than maddening. Buuuut- it’s part of the job and I’m always glad that I give it 100%.

For you, I hope it pays off right away, for me it pays off later when I need a recipe for a client or class asap!

Enter the holidays.

Let’s get to it: There are my TOP 5 Thanksgiving Recipes!

5. Three Sisters Stew

"...legend these three plants when planted together thrive in the same way three sisters can be found to be inseparable. The Native Americans chose to plant corn, beans and squash in the same mounds, which created a sustainable system that provided for soil health and fertility. The connection of these three plants gives us a look back to how things were done when the America’s were first being inhabited and agriculture was in view as far as the eye could see."

4. Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Truffles

Forget the pie, take these Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Truffles to your Thanksgiving celebration! Little balls of pumpkin, vanilla and candied walnuts wrapped up in dark chocolate. More please!

3. This year’s winning Sweet Potato Casserole!

Just as it sounds! Holy moly, you’ll love this one! No leftover for sure!!

2. Roasted Brussels with Cashew Cream and Coconut Bacon

Wait, whaaaat?!

Oh, yes. It’s one of my all time favorites. A true (new) classic. Strap in, baby, this will really WOW your guests!

  1. Plant-based Turk*y Roast

    This roast goes the distance. There is also a BONUS gravy recipe here too! Here’s a tip - make one more than you think you’ll need (why not, you have everything out anyway) and freeze it for later. This makes great sammiches!

I hope these give you as much as they have given me and my family and friends over the years. I wish you a happy thanksgiving full of laughter and love. Fill those plates with plants and be well. 💚
