a turkey-less thanksgiving

Ever since I was six I’ve been a vegetarian. Growing up in Southern California made my dietary restrictions pretty easy; a bunch of granola-heads makes for lots of vegetarian cuisine. However there is one time of the year where my vegetarianism makes me feel way left out of the festivities: Thanksgiving AKA The Turkey Massacre.

Of course I can’t eat turkey. I can’t eat stuffing either because it’s mostly made with chicken broth. Potatoes are a no-go when they’re already smothered with gravy and it pretty much goes down hill from there.

To add to my list of party woes, I don’t drink alcohol AT ALL. Being around a bunch of crazy, tipsy, turkey-comma relatives is probably at the bottom of my list for ways to spend a fun evening.

So CG!s, any suggestions on how to spice up my thanksgiving? Any horror stories or your own Thanksgivings?

Happy Turkey day ladies,
Love,
