Holidays and their accompanying celebrations are a wonderful thing. They usually involve spending lots of time with family and friends and eating lots of delicious food; this holds true across almost all cultures. Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa, Passover, or Diwali, chances are there are several traditional dishes included in the festivities.
Turkey is synonymous with Thanksgiving in the United States and Canada, but Thanksgiving can be enjoyed by omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans alike with a few simple swaps. I’m not talking about replacing the carved turkey with Tofurkey, nor impressing your uncle with whipped tofu instead of his favorite mashed potatoes.
Planetary Transits and Cosmic Interplayfor the week of Nov 18–24

There is no turkey necessary for this simple, but tasty vegan stuffing recipe! Enjoy your holiday meal with a hearty bread stuffing that is sure to remind you of warmth, love and good memories this holiday season. I like using French bread because of its especially chewy crust and soft interior, but feel free to use any kind of sliced bread that you like. The onion and celery add a little bit of earthiness and a depth of flavor that the bread readily soaks up as you slowly bake it to crispiness in the oven.

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably already planning out your menu for that upcoming traditional Thanksgiving feast. Since unforgivingly dry turkey will not be showing up on my dinner plate, I’m paying close attention to which seasonal fruits and veggies can steal the spotlight on the last Thursday of November. Put those boring old sides on the back burner; turn the tastiest produce November has to offer into unforgettable, out of this world dishes that will surely wow your entire family.
