Nobody is losing their mind over your plain roasted squash. 😴

Comment “THANKSGIVING” and I’ll send you my free Vegan Thanksgiving program, with all the recipes and a plan for the whole meal, main course included.

Here’s 7 vegan butternut squash recipes that will make your guests lose their sh*t: roasted butternut hummus, butternut mac and cheese, butternut crostini, chipotle butternut soup with seitan and tortilla strips, maple miso hasselback squash, butternut squash salad, and maple-tahini mashed squash.

My biggest fear when I first made the mac and cheese was that it would taste sweet and weird. It doesn’t. It’s creamy from cashews and rich from the squash, and it throws store-bought cheeze off the Empire State Building.

Last call for the stallion. Well, almost.

🐴 Galactic MegaStallion is out TOMORROW, Sunday October 18th, and it’s one of our last pop-ups of the year.

After tomorrow we’ve got ONE more Sunday (10/25), weather permitting.
Then the elevator-sized kitchen goes dark and quiet like the Mariana Trench for the winter.

Except…

…excccccept:

🤫 December.
We’re planning a special pop-up with donuts and fan faves from the old Cinnamon Snail food truck menu.

Maybe even on Christmas Day.
Still plotting.
Stay tuned.

🙅‍♀️ Put that sad-ass, played out tofu-based pumpkin pie down. Nobody asked for a wobbly blob the color of a bandaid that tastes like a stale penny loafer rotting in the mist.

⭐️👉 Comment “THANKSGIVING” and I’ll send you all 7 of these banger dessert recipes, plus my FREE 20-day Vegan Thanksgiving program.

Here’s the thing about Thanksgiving dessert. It’s the last thing on the table, so it’s what everybody remembers on the drive home. Your mains can crush it, but if the pie is a sad lil hockey puck, the whole table leaves thinking vegan food is “kinda... fine?”

It’s also where non-vegans doubt you the HARDEST. Custard with no eggs? Butter crust with no butter? Whipped cream with no cow? Grandma’s already squinting.

So hear ye, hear ye, here’s 7 that make the squint go away:
🍒 Cranberry galette with orange and cardamom
🍎 Apple crisp with brown sugar oat streusel
🍩 Pumpkin donuts (fried, baked or air-fried)
🫚 Gingerbread loaf with orange cream cheese frosting
🍠 Maple sweet potato pie in a graham crust
🥧 The $25,000 apple pie
🥧 Rum-spiked pumpkin chiffon pie

That last one was my #1 fave dessert growing up. My wife and I have been tweaking the vegan version for decades.

Every one of these went through my 1,000+ recipe testers before it hit my site, so they work in your kitchen, not just mine. And every plant-based pie on a table this year means one less animal on it. That’s the whole point.

The free program gives you a new recipe in your inbox every day starting Nov 1, plus a live prep-along class, so you’re not panic-baking at midnight. 17,000+ people have cooked their way through it.

Your vegan Thanksgiving main does NOT have to be a boiled pumpkin, or some crap 🙄

⭐️👉 Comment “THANKSGIVING” and I’ll send you my free 20-day Vegan Thanksgiving program.

Every main on this list is one less animal on the table, and a meal that makes the meat-eaters at your table go real quiet. Instead of eye rolls, you get to watch eyes roll back in their sockets in total food coma ecstasy.

The free program gives you a new recipe every day for 20 days, a free live class, and a plan for the whole meal, so you’re not panic-cooking at 11pm on Wednesday.

❌ stop with the lame and frankly sucky sides on Thanksgiving. 😴

Comment “THANKSGIVING” and I’ll send you my free 20-day Vegan Thanksgiving program, with all the recipes and a plan for the whole meal, main course included.

And for now, here’s 8 vegan sides that will make your non-veg guests lose their actual minds: mashed potatoes, pumpkin cornbread with cinnamon pecan butter, candied yams with lightly torched marshmallows, pumpkin mac and cheese under crispy seitan bacon, harissa carrots, Turkish cranberry relish, easy vegan stuffing, and onion gravy.

I’ve served many thousands of pounds of mashed potatoes over 20 years of catering, so when I say these are buttery enough to shock your most stuck up, dairy-loving relatives, I know what the heck I’m talking about.

Ditching turkey doesn’t mean you’re stuck with a sucky plate of tired AF veggie sides.

These 8 meaty vegan mains are the ones my family actually messes with: roast beef (yes, there’s a beet in it), pot roast, maple mustard ham, a stuffed turkey roast with crispy skin, schnitzel, Swedish meatballs, Italian sausage, and seitan fried chicken.

I made the pot roast for my vegetarian electrician and he called me back freaking out, convinced I’d slipped him real meat. That’s the bar.

Most people won’t take my word (or yours) that a vegan Thanksgiving recipe works. So I’ll let the other people’s comments on these bangers do the work.

“I was wrong! He absolutely loved it.” That’s from a woman who made my vegan ham with zero hope her husband would touch it. And it’s one of 8 swipes in this post.

A new recipe lands in your inbox every day, and you can still jump in late and get everything you missed.

Every one of these tried and true bangers has been cooked and rated by real home cooks. I have 1,000+ recipe testers who make my recipes before they ever go live. So the stars you see here aren’t me patting myself on the back. They are other folks assuring you that the things don’t suckkkkkk ✌️😜

Is thanksgiving brunch a total afterthought in your universe?
Everybody’s obsessing over the main event at 4pm. Meanwhile there’s a houseful of hungry people wandering into your kitchen at 8am, opening cabinets like hunwee widdle waccoons. 🦝
And if you don’t feed them? They start “helping.”

😬 “HELPING”

So bake a tray of muffins the night before and win the morning before the oven’s even on.

Here’s what I got for ya:
🎃 Pumpkin muffins with pistachio streusel and rosewater cardamom glaze
🍠 Sweet potato muffins with maple pecan streusel
🍎 Apple cinnamon muffins with 3 layers of apple flave’ in every dang one
🥒 Zucchini muffins with orange olive oil streusel (your nephew will never know)
🫐 Ritz-Carlton blueberry muffins, veganized with whipped aquafaba
🍌 Banana muffins with chocolate chunks and walnuts
Every one was tested by my 1,000+ recipe testers before I shared it with ya.

Once breakfast is handled, the 20-day program walks you through the rest of the day.

FOR FREE: you get a new recipe every day starting November 1, a free live prep-along class, and a whole menu your non-vegan family will go back for seconds on.

17,000+ people have cooked their way through it.

Every muffin and every plate that hits a table this year? That’s one less animal on it.

Comment THANKSGIVING and I’ll send you my free 20-day Vegan Thanksgiving program. 🥔

(That’s the offer. Now here’s why you want it…)

Here’s what nobody tells you about Thanksgiving dinner.

Nobody has ever stood in the kitchen at 9pm whispering, “Wow. That turkey changed my life.”

It’s the potatoes.

It’s ALWAYS the potatoes.

And if your potatoes are sad, your whole table knows it.

Your uncle circles the vegan side dishes like a seagull circling a dropped french fry.

Your cousin takes one bite, squints, and asks, “Wait… is this vegan?”

So I made the Thanksgiving Potato-Thon.

5 vegan potato recipes.

1 sneaky cauliflower.

Here’s what’s inside:

🥔 Hasselback potatoes with garlic and sage (crispy accordion edges)
🥔 Dairy-free mashed potatoes with roasted garlic
🥔 Scalloped potatoes with cashew cream, Dijon and rosemary
🥔 Potato knishes with golden dough
🌶️ Batata harra, Lebanese spicy potatoes with garlic, sumac and Aleppo pepper
🥦 Garlic mashed cauliflower, for your low-carb freaks who still want to go down a slip-n-slide of mash

More “who made these?!” at the table.

More serving dishes scraped clean.

More Thursdays where you’re not standing over a pot of lumpy mash, whispering apologies to it.

And look, I don’t know your family.

But I DO know what happens when the potatoes show up right.

I’ve been cooking vegan for 25+ years. I’ve got a Vendy Award for Best Food Truck in NYC. I’ve cooked at the James Beard House.

And I’m telling you: the potatoes are the whole meal.

Here’s the part I love most.

Every plate of this that hits a table?

That’s one less animal on it.

So here’s what to do:

Gluten-free Thanksgiving does NOT have to mean steamed green beans and a stale rice cake afterthought (PB and raisins on top, anyone?). 🙄

These 8 vegan + gluten-free bangers say G**O of my face with that.

⭐️👉 Comment “THANKSGIVING” and I’ll send you my FREE 20-day Vegan Thanksgiving program.

Here’s the thing about Thanksgiving: it’s the one day a whole table of non-vegans sits down and eats the same meal.

That’s why every November I turn down wedding catering gigs (and the real money that comes with them).

Instead, I read the thousands of Thanksgiving menus people email me through the free program, and I write back a game plan for each one. Sometimes a full hour-by-hour timeline.

This year there’s a whole gluten-free track built in. So if you’re GF, or you’re feeding someone who is, you get recipes made that way on purpose. Not “just skip the stuffing,” or “replace the seitan in this recipe with a rubber flip flop.”

Shepherd’s pie under a mountain of mash. Cauliflower steaks on butter bean purée. Porcini risotto. Kabocha soup with gochujang. Pumpkin crème brûlée with a crackly torched lid. Not one of ‘em is a consolation prize.

A banger plant-based spread means fewer turkeys on platters. That’s the whole point. It’s free and it starts November 1.

If you’ve never heard of it, that’s kinda on purpose.
It’s my sometimes-secret side project:
a kitchen the size of an elevator,
a menu I change whenever I want, and no official socials or Yelp page.

This season’s been vegan Korean fried chicken sammy vibes.
And what’s crazy is that it’s all completely sattvic: onion and garlic-free!

We’ve only got another 3–4 weekends out this year before the stallion goes back into its cosmic slumber.
Don’t sleep on it.

Say no to garbage-ass fake turkey from the freezer aisle this year.
⭐️👉 Comment “THANKSGIVING” and I’ll send you my FREE 20-day Vegan Thanksgiving training, and you’ll see exactly why.

Here’s the thingy that you are needin’ to know:
Thanksgiving is the one day a whole table of non-vegans sits down and eats the exact same meal.
Your hyper-skeptical uncle. Your cousin who thinks tofu is a cult. Your grandma who still asks if you “eat chicken, though.”
If that spread is a banger, there are fewer turkeys on platters. Mayyyybe if you & the turkeys are lucky, some of those folks will start to warm up to this vegan thing. That lightbulb going off thing’s pretty much the whole game.

Cathy, who enrolled in this program last year said she “walked away feeling like somebody had her back.”
Yeah. That’s why this is my absolute jam.
Lemme help you pull off something insanely yummy this year, OK?

These 8 are the freight train 🚂
🦃 Vegan turkey roast with crispy yuba skin

Thanksgiving appetizers are the judge behind if your gathering is pretty chill, or somewhat of a nightmare fest.

Your guests wander into the kitchen, grab something flaky off a tray, and decide right then whether this vegan thing is going to be great, or if they want to stand around staring at you while you frantically pull stuff from the oven with one hand while mashing potatoes with the other.

So here are 9 that are very hard to ignore.

Every November I turn down hella wedding catering gigs, and the real money that comes with them. (Dumb? Probably.)

Instead, I share weeks of killer plant-based holiday recipes and thousands of people email me their Thanksgiving menus through my free Vegan Thanksgiving challenge.

I read each one and write back a game plan. Sometimes it’s a full hour-by-hour timeline.

Why?

Thanksgiving is the one day a table full of non-vegans all eats the same meal.

A BOMB plant-based spread means fewer turkeys on platters. 🦃
It’s that simple.

The yummiest, most fun, and positive kind of activism.
