Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving Canada!
As some of you might know, Thanksgiving comes a little early in Canada. Rather than celebrating in November, we celebrate on the second Monday of October. And while I am not big on celebrations and big family dinners, I do love fall foods. As a result, I decided to make my own small Thanksgiving feast. Since I was just cooking for myself, I did not make all of the things that I would have liked to have made (e.g. a fancier rice dish, some squash, parsnips, sweet potatoes, etc.), but I enjoyed it nonetheless (well, I enjoyed the food - not the cooking it or cleaning up after it).
After thinking about it for some time, I decided to make:
- Brown rice with nuts (almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds) and raisins
- Orange roasted asparagus
- -Steamed baby carrots
- Bryanna's cranberry sauce
- -Mashed potatoes
- -Punk Rock Chickpea Gravy (from Vegan with a Vengeance)
