remember many xmas puds are vegan!
serve with soy custard or soy/rice ice cream
also put mince meat (vegan obv) in filo pastries
put soy creamy mushrooms in voulovens and puff pastry
also fill puff pastry with roast veggies-honey roast are especially nice
frozen bananas blended make nice icecream
soy yogurt with maple syrup or conserve and vegan almondi biscuits or oaty granola
chesnut or nut filled pastries, spice with cloves/cinnamon or herbs
mushroom stuffed pastries
portabella mushrooms stuffed with yum stuff!
use egg replacers to make brownies and cookies
soy/sunflower margarine cookies, gingerbread men or flapjacks
fruit juice warm and spiced
nutmeg and cinnamon spiced warm soya milk
flavor things with spices, herbs, sugar
make things creamy with soy mayo, cream, yogurt, milk, custard, margarine
almond milk, oat milk, oats
its limitless! don’t restrict

If your family is pretty traditional, I’d suggest Tofurkey and vegan pumpkin pie for T-Day and a Celebration Field Roast for Christmas. There are a TON of great side dishes you can make, too. Sweet potato casserole is a favorite of mine, and you can get vegan marshmallows to top it at a lot of health food stores. Try doing a Google or Yahoo search for vegan holiday food, and you should come up with some really great stuff.
Here’s the pumpkin pie recipe I use, just as an example. For the crust, I usually get the ready-made Keebler shortbread crust, because I fail at pastry.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Have ready, one 9 unbaked pastry crust
Blend in blender:
2 c. solid-pack canned pumpkin (if you use home-cooked pumpkin, drain it for
several hours hanging in a cloth bag, so it’s thick like canned pumpkin)
1 c. non-dairy milk (preferably a rich soy milk)
3/4 c. brown sugar or Sucanat
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 T. molasses or blackstrap molasses
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. EACH ground ginger, nutmeg and salt
1/4 tsp. ground allspice or cloves
Pour the filling into the pastry and bake 60 minutes, covering the edges with foil if they begin to brown too quickly. Cool on a rack, then refrigerate overnight before serving.
