    I discovered a sweet potato dish that doesn't cause you to blow it.

    2 lb sliced sweet potatoes
    2 peeled, sliced apples
    2 small shallots, chopped
    1 tsp chopped ginger root
    1/2 cup orange juice
    1/2 cup apple cider
    1 tsp curry powder
    salt and pepper to taste
    1/2 cup chopped dates

    I mine I didn't have dates, so they weren't used, but I did add a chopped fennel bulb.

    Saute shallots, ginger root in vegetable oil until soft.
    I then added the fennel and curry powder, adding a little salt and pepper, and cooked for a few minutes.
    Add the juice and cider and pour the mix the sliced apples and sweet potato that you've put into a bowl. Season if necessary.

    Mix all the ingredients and pour into a baking dish that has been sprayed with non stick spray. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Take off the foil and continue to cook for another 20-25 minutes.

    It tasted like the holiday but was NOT sweet.

    A little bit of turkey, corn from my Aunt's farm, mashed sweet potatoes, and my one big indulgence...my Grandpa's homemade noodles.

    The usuals...turkey and gravy, boxed stuffing with mushrooms added, lasagna (my family's Italian), baked yams, green beans, canned cranberry sauce, wine, and pie (and probably Italian butter cookies, and Ferrero Rochers, etc etc.) I have Thanksgiving at my mom's house each year.

    tofurkey. All of the Tofurkey. And steamed veggies, and maybe some of my not-so-famous-but-still-delicious vegan pumpkin bread. I'm actually not a huuuge fan of Thanksgiving food, as I'm a lover of raw fruits and veggies. But mostly fruit. Thanksgiving seems to have a lacking of traditional foods containing fruit. Haha.

    My daughter is vegan (and one of my biggest supporters and encouragers) and every year I buy her a Tofurkey. :smiley:
