10 Vegan Thanksgiving Dishes That Prove You Don’t Have To Kill Turkeys To Slay A Thanksgiving Meal

Thanksgiving in the United States is the ultimate holiday for foodies. But if you're vegan or vegetarian, sometimes it can be difficult getting together with other people who do not share your lifestyle. You may feel like your plate is loaded with side dishes and that it's not truly a 'real' Thanksgiving meal.

But you can give thanks for the fact that your plate is cruelty-free, and this list of yummy vegan-friendly Thanksgiving dishes proves that being a vegan is a great thing to be on Thanksgiving!

1. Creamy, dreamy vegan mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes are a classic, but who wants all that butter and gravy? Try these vegan caramelized onion mashed potatoes or this vegan garlic and rosemary mash. These recipes prove you don't need dairy or meat to make mashed potatoes a smash hit!

2. Classic mac & cheese.

I think that we can all agree that macaroni and cheese is one of the best foods on the planet, am I right? So bring this amazing vegan mac and cheese in your best casserole dish.

3. Spicy rosemary butternut squash.

One of my favorite seasonal foods is butternut squash. Turn this versatile veggie into an amazing side or main dish with this easy, delicious recipe!

4. Vegan stuffing.

Stuffing is something you only ever eat on Thanksgiving, but it's so freakin' good. Sometimes you can be hard-pressed to find a version that doesn't use stock, but this vegan recipe is easy to follow and classic.

5. Chicken-less pot pies.

These mini meat-free pot pies are a fun, hand-held entree that will please both children and adults alike!

6. Stuffed acorn squash.

You'll fall for these adorable, healthy vegan stuffed acorn squashes.

7. Cruelty-free lasagna.

Lasagna is a dish that can feed a large crowd. Try this vegan version at your Thanksgiving dinner!

8. Plant-based dumplings.

This year, think outside the box and make dumplings! They're delicious and you can easily adjust the recipe for the size of your get-together. Try these pumpkin dumplings that can be adjusted to your preferences.

9. Vegan pumpkin pie.

What's fall without pumpkin? You need this vegan pumpkin pie in your life, now. 'Tis the season.

10. Maple pecan pie

Pie usually contains a ton of butter and eggs... but this maple pecan pie is vegan: no butter, no eggs, no corn syrup, no processed white sugar. YAY!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
