We're the only ones in our family who are vegan. The side dishes are great, but can be problematic for vegans (cheese, milk, cream...) so we do have to do a little prep work. Jane will usually prepares something we can eat to share with the family. And there are usually a few other things we can eat when we have celebratory dinners... so it all works out. Hi Barry,

We like to have a large family meal and have found a number of ways we can all eat together. Lots of vegetable sides (for us the main meal) and free range turkey (for everyone else) have worked well. We enjoy wonderful home cooked traditional food and time with our family. My wife and I are vegetarians, but our families are not.

Hi Nate, It does seem to be getting mainstream doesn't it? We've still got a ways to go though. My dream is to be able to go to any restaurant and have vegan options (plural) on the menu, and not just salad and veggie burgers. Hi Tofu Mom, Thanks! That was our thought too. Especially when they opened with the raw food Thanksgiving options. I'm not knocking them, it's just that the meat and potato crowd is going to look at that and think "sheesh, what are those tree-huggers eating now?" They could have spent a few more moments on the human fare at Farm Sanctuary. It looked like their vegan Thanksgiving was more along the lines of traditional fare, minus the animal product. Hi Jeff,
Thanks.

I was surprised and thought it was surprisingly pretty good, though vegans and vegetarians aren't all raw foodists or PETA-pushers - they could have shown something more mainstream, but I suppose any mention at all is GREAT! Love the blog BTW, I just bookmarked you a few days back. Oh I saw that too!!
