Our Thanksgiving dinner was way more than just the turkey, although at Thanksgiving, the turkey will always get top billing and will always be the center of attention. Since most of my family that joined us is vegan, we had a lot of vegetables and vegan foods. I also was cooking for seven kids, ranging in ages from 6-15, so most everything was pretty simple, certainly much more so than my usual cooking Aside from the turkey, I also made 2 kinds of mashed potatoes, both vegan and non-vegan. The vegan mashed potatoes were made with rice milk and vegan butter, and then regular garlic mashed potatoes with butter and heavy whipping cream for the rest of us.

I had some leftover rice and lentils that I mixed together and added the chicken to. Then I sauteed some spinach, mushrooms, garlic, shallots, artichoke hearts and tomatoes to top the chicken. It was quick, easy-peasy, healthy and delicious. It doesn’t get much better than that.
One of my friends from church and I were talking food and we discovered we both LOVE the Tap n Taste store, and we also really enjoy the same flavors too. So she inspired…
