Vegan Potluck

9 Comments

Saturday night we hosted a vegan potluck at our house with a number of local vegans as well as my friend Laura (vegan friendly omnivore) and Allie stopped in for a break from paper writing. Everyone brought a really great dishes including Laura who brought these tasty cheeze and chive biscuits that were so delicious but so not good for you.

Other items we enjoyed were:

Garlic- Scallion Yellow Rice

Vegan Kale Frittata

Extra Spicy White Bean and Upton's Naturals Ground Seitan Chili

Lasagna

Potato and Black Bean Chimmichangas

We also snacked on veggies and hummus while we waited for everyone to arrive and we ended the night with blackout cupcakes which I forgot to get a photo of.  Overall we had a wonderful time having everyone over, sharing stories and enjoying yummy food together.

Thanksgiving Vegan Style

The Hubz and I were lucky to be invited to a wonderful vegan Thanksgiving potluck on Saturday night at some (hopefully) new friends home.  We were a little nervous at first since we didn’t know anyone and I am a bit shy (yes me) when I first meet people but it ended up being a really wonderful experience.  Everyone was super friendly and we felt completely welcomed.  For the potluck I made my Thanksgiving Tart with a few twist- I actually made the crust and I added mushrooms to the mix. I had leftover crust so I made a rustic tart with roasted pear, apples and cranberries as well.

Along with my Thanksgiving Tart we had stuffed tomatoes, whipped sweet potatoes, shredded Brussels sprouts with candied pecans, stuffing, mushroom gravy and rolls- everything was really delicious.  For dessert we had cupcakes, pumpkin cheezecake, cranberry apple crisp and my rustic tart- I split a little bit of everything except the cupcake (which I am sure were delicious). I’m looking forward to the next potluck!
