Tips for Hosting a Stress-Free Thanksgiving Feast

The truth is that I’ve never hosted a Thanksgiving, but I have made an entire meal spread for it. When you’re vegan and gluten-free, the growling tummy that comes along with not grubbing with everyone else at family functions becomes tiresome. So, I went for it. Those murals make it look effortless, but making a cornucopia of food from scratch was quite a handful. Since last year, I’m thankful to have thought of some ways to relieve the stress and pressure of preparing so much food in so little time.

There is nothing quite like Pumpkin Pie; the rich earthiness of the pumpkin, the complex spices and the flaky crust are all classic elements that come together to create this delicious dessert. The almond milk adds some creaminess and the corn starch substitutes for eggs, giving the pie filling a thick consistency. I suggest topping your slice of vegan pumpkin pie with some whipped coconut cream for the full effect!
