Thanksgiving is coming up. To the be honest I don't have a big connection with this holiday and the meaning behind it.
But I do love Thanksgiving food!
I know Thanksgiving can be a difficult holiday for vegetarians and vegans.
So I wanted to share some ideas that you could make this Thursday great!
I want to share how I make Stuffing, which is my favorite dish on Thanksgiving. I cover it in gravy and just love it!
I also wanted to give an idea for a Side Roasted Veggie dish and a Baked Apple Dessert

Flour 1/2 of a cup
Caramelize onions with plenty of olive oil and a good size pinch of salt for a 20 minutes until soft and sweet. Then add sliced mushrooms and sauté until the mushrooms are cooked. Add flour little by little and whisk so that no lumps form. After the flour has mixed in well with the onions and mushrooms, add 4 cups of water/vegetable stock little by little while constantly whisking. Let cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
For a side dish. I made Roasted Potatos, with Brussel Sprouts, Onions, and Carrots.
