So this Thanksgiving , I hosted my first dinner ! All under $100 (for three people) and with very minimal ingredients per dish.
No meat, no dairy, and no eggs in sight!
This was my situation:
1. Green Beans w/ Scallions
2. Baked Sweet Potatoes
3. Baked Acorn Squash
4. Roasted Beets w/ Roasted Sesame Seeds
5. Vegan Mashed Potatoes
6. Side Salad
Green Beans w/ Scallions
Literally, a little oil, grill the scallions for a few minutes and then grill the green beans (about 1 lb) for 3 minutes. You can cook them longer if you want them softer.
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Cut 3 sweet potatoes into cubes
Cover your pan with avocado oil or other
Place potatoes onto pan
Drizzle a little more oil over the potatoes
Sprinkle salt or garlic powder (or whatever you prefer)
Bake at 450 degrees for 35 minutes
Baked Acorn Squash
1. Bake 2 Acorns in the oven at 450 degrees for 30 minutes
2. Remove and slice in half
3. Cover each acorn in oregano , cinnamon and nutmeg
4. Cook for another 45 minutes
5. Serve with Maple Syrup
Roasted Beets
1. Cut up 5 red beets into cubes
2. Boil for 20 minutes
3. Then, Bake for 30 minutes at 450
4. Roast sesame seeds over the stove top on medium for about 5 minutes (no oil necessary) - they start to pop like popcorn
5. Drizzle the sesame seeds over the roasted beets when they are done cooking
Vegan Mashed Potatoes
1. Cut up 5 large potatoes
2. Boil for 30 minutes
3. Smash until smooth
4. Add salt and oregano
5. If you would like, add 5 roasted garlic cloves
Side Salad:
1. Chopped Tomatoes
2. Dandelion (about a handful)
3. Lemon as your dressing
4. Cucumbers chopped
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
