Thanksgiving is centered around the turkey. And the sides are…well, pushed to the side. And this year, the sides are going to outshadow the main course. It’s my first thanksgiving being completely vegan. I’ve pretty much joined in on my brother’s plant-based Thanksgiving for the past 3 years, but this year feels different.
This year, I’ve got a theme. I have been OBSESSED with everything mushroom lately, so I wanted to do a three part recipe series that featured my favorite mushroom Thanksgiving recipes.
Green bean casserole is, without a doubt, my favorite Thanksgiving meal. So let’s check out the first (and in my opinion best) Thanksgiving side that I’ve been waiting all year for:
