Susan Glueck says
I will be serving Traditional Thanksgiving and inviting my vegan son and his family..what can I serve them as a main dish that could be a side for the rest of us ? Thank you! Susan
A Virtual Vegan says
This Mushroom Lentil loaf looks really festive with a cranberry topping. It would make a great main for them and everyone else can enjoy a slice too. https://avirtualvegan.com/cranberry-mushroom-lentil-loaf/
My individual mushroom pies are great for serving a few people. They are really quick and easy to make. You can prepare them a couple days in advance if you need to: https://avirtualvegan.com/easy-vegan-mushroom-pie/
Something else that's non-traditional but makes a great main is this Spanakopita https://avirtualvegan.com/vegan-spanakopita/
Hope that helps!

Hi, I'm excited to try some of these recipes. The little mushroom pies look delicious --well, everything does. My husband and I have been vegan for almost 10 years.
