Probably depends on your definition of common . They do have quite a few effective precautions . <| sep |> My husband ' s aunt was going to cook a traditional turkey thanksgiving but a few relatives got stuck in bad weather . She no longer wanted to cook a huge feast so she didn ' t even purchase a turkey this year ! I invited her and my husband ' s cousin over to our 100 % vegan thanksgiving . I made 2 Trader Joe ' s turkeyless roasts , the minimalist baker ' s green bean casserole , garlic mashed potatoes and golden gravy from forks over knives , lasagna with whole foods recipe for tofu ricotta and minimalist baker ' s vegan Parmesan recipe . all three of my desserts were minimalist Baker recipes pumpkin pie , pumpkin muffins and apple pie . We used trader Joe ' s vanilla soy ice cream and so delicious cocowhip . As appetizers before hand I had pretzels , crackers , vegan Parmesan lentil chips , olive cream cheese dip made from tofutti cream cheese skinny pop white cheddar popcorn . They loved it and took leftovers home with them ! It was an awesome success and I ' m so pleased that two Omni ' s had a 100 % vegan thanksgiving !
