BAKING FOR CANADIAN THANKSGIVING
Sheaf of Wheat Bread
NOTE: I'll be away from my computer until Sunday the 14th!
This is a quick one-- I'm stealing time from my cooking (we're having our family meal today at my son's house) to blog! The photo above is a bread I usually make but did not get around to this year! I'm slipping!
The photo below is of my two vegan pumpkin pies and an apple pie made with some freshly-picked tart apples that a friend gave me. I made them last night for today's dinner.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY CANADIAN FRIENDS! I'll post more pictures tomorrow!
PICTURES BELOW ADDED CANADIAN THANKSGIVING DAY, OCT. 9, 2006:
Tofu Pot Pie and vegan bread stuffing
Slice of my vegan Pumpkin Pie (no tofu involved!)
Stuffing patties with vegan Rich Brown Gravy and Orange Cranberry Sauce for breakfast this morning!
SOME PHOTOS FROM OUR EARLIER PERUVIAN-STYLE VEGAN THANKSGIVING DINNER WITH FRIENDS (a test run for Vegan Feast newsletter recipes coming up in the next issue!):
The dinner, minus the Peruvian-style rice and dessert-- clockwise from top left: Salpicon, a lemony cabbage salad with Breast of Tofu; the causa (see below); the "turkey" (see below); the Port Gravy; and the Peruvian red onion and chili relish in the center.
The "turkey" roulade with the Peruvian-style spicy-fruity-"meaty" stuffing
The Causa, a Peruvian cold potato terrine, this time with an artichoke stuffing and a top layer of purple potatoes (The recipe is in my book "World Vegan Feast".)
Good friend and taster Jerry ready to go to work on the dinner!
The Dessert: Chocolate-Hazelnut Praline Lava Cakes! (The recipe is in my book "World Vegan Feast".)
Enjoy!

What a spectacular meal !! Everything looks amazing, as always ! And it looks like you had wonderful weather... We did too :)
Thank you for your comment on my blog Bryanna ! Can't wait to try the Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, thank you for your help !
And I can't believe that your anniversary is also on October 5th ! That is just too funny :)
It made my day :))
I know, isn't that a riot! And the same actual day and year!! BTW, let me know if you try those muffins and how they turn out, will you?
It was a gray, cloudy, drizzly morning, but, as soon as we all gathered at my son's house (I got to go home to a clean kitchen--yay!), it cleared and got warm! Since we had 6 under-12's running around, that was good!
It was a nice, relaxed, fanily-filled day, but I'm still full!
Cheers!
What a beautiful spread! I thoroughly enjoy your blog and website and had to comment.
I am going to have to try that pumpkin pie and pecan pie recipe!
I have many family members who have allergies to dairy, eggs & soy, so they rarely get to treat themselves to most desserts--vegan or no!
Thank you so much for the vegan pecan pie and pumpkin pie recipes. Until today I had been wondering how to veganize pecan and pumpkin pie. I look forward to making them and sharing them with my family this Thanksgiving.
You have such a wonderful and informative blog. Thanks again!
Wow again! Gorgeous, Bryanna! Gee, my causca never came out that beautiful, lol. But it inspires me to make it again soon. I love the stuffing patties idea; problem is, I've never known a time for there to be leftover stuffing!
Bryanna, those lava cakes! Are they in your newsletter? They look incredible! Everything does!
I second the comment, what a great idea for the leftover stuffing. It works out to our advantage that the US Thanksgiving trails yours by more than a month, plenty of time to see your ideas and plan our own meals!
I would love to get the chocolate-hazelnut praline lava cake recipe. Does anyone have it? If possible, could you send it to me at winn@mind.net? I would like to make it for my niece who used to love lava cake (before becoming a vegan). No one knows how to make it vegan-style. Win Dawson
