Sundays with Ydp: A global Holiday table
All i can say is YIKES!!! Somehow we went from 3 guests for dinner to 15!!
Not only are there more guests, but these days it’s so important to be considerate of dietary restrictions.
My challenge is to create a menu that honors tradition, yet accommodates guests who prefer a vegan diet.
What to do , what to do!
To make life a little easy I’m considering ordering my turkey already marinated in Tandoori spices from a local Indian restaurant called Bombay Brazier…This will save me time and provide a different twist to my usual butter and herb recipe.
I expect that the Tandoori Turkey will look similar to this one.

To Honor Tradition I’ll serve:
-
Stuffing
-
Mac and cheese
-
Mixed kale and collards sauteed with olive oil and fresh garlic
-
Candied yams
-
Fresh garden salad with home made dressing
-
Cranberry sauce
-
Sweet tea
-
Sweet potato pie
-
Apple pie
-
Ice cream
Keeping with the flavors of India I’ll offer:
-
Vegetable samosas
-
lentil soup
-
Basmati rice
I’ll also incorporate a Thai influence which will include:
-
Mixed vegetables in a Thai coconut curry sauce
-
Ginger sesame tempeh lettuce wraps (will act as a meat substitute for my vegan guests)
I hope I achieved a good balance of traditional and vegan choices.
What do you think? Any recommendations?

[…] so excited to have Dreameka guest post with us again. Since my Thanksgiving menu will have a global vibe with Indian spices and a few Thai dishes. She has recommended a few great wines that will enhance the exotic flavors. It’s also worth […]
