CREATING SMALL REVOLUTIONS OF JOY ONE DAY AT A TIME
The Amazing Turkey Revelation!
What Happened When My Family Decided They Didn’t Like Turkey!
It was 8 years ago that I made the decision to transition to a vegan diet. Even though I’m the main cook in the house, I’ve always held space for my husband and my kids to make their own choices. So for many years when Thanksgiving rolled around, I still made a turkey for them. About 2 years ago, we were invited to relatives for Thanksgiving.
I never really paid attention to what my kids ate at that meal, but when it was time to divvy up the leftovers none of them requested any turkey. When we arrived home that night my curiosity got the best of me and I asked them why they didn’t want any turkey leftovers.
“I don’t really like turkey,” my middle child stated. The other two chimed in and agreed.
Last year we discussed the Thanksgiving menu together before the big day. It was just going to be our small immediate family and it was fun to get the kids involved in the planning.
The Menu:
- Macaroni and Cheese
- Pretzel Bites
- Stuffing
- Green Bean Casserole
