Way too much Thanksgiving food

Here is a rundown of Thanksgiving. We had Seitan Turkey Roulade with herb stuffing, Cornbread stuffing, Leahey Foods Chicken Style gravy, Green Bean Casserole, Mashed Sweet Potato Casserole with marshmallows on top, Pumpkin rolls, and Pumpkin Pie.

Here are pics:

The seitan roulade is from this recipe (double the recipe at the bottom of her post). After cooking, brown on all sides in a non-stick skillet with some olive oil.

Green Bean Casserole from 1000 Vegan Recipes:

I added more thyme, added sage, lots of pepper and some soy sauce. Also deglazed mushrooms with white wine.

I think we were a bit heavy handed with the marshmallows. I knew I shouldn't have asked Mike whether there were enough marshmallows on top before baking! :)

Pumpkin Pie:

Pie was meh and was a recipe of my own invention, so you don't really want that recipe.

Dandies Marshmallow Smores Bars

I got a free sample of Dandies vegan marshmallows in the mail last week - Thanks Chicago Soy Dairy!!!! To show off the meltability and brownability (is that a word) of the marshmallows, I made smores bars. These are super easy. They took about 10 minutes to put together and throw in the oven. The recipe is from All Recipes. Some changes to the recipe: I didn't use quite as much margarine as called for. I baked the bottom layer for 5 minutes before adding the chocolate and marshmallows. I also threw some extra graham cracker crumbles on the top. I hit them with the broiler for about 2 minutes at the end of the cooking time.

The marshmallows were crispy and brown and tasted great the next day too.

I only made a 1/2 batch so I only used half the bag. I have the other half for campfire smores this weekend while camping!

Dandies Marshmallows are great! Run out and get some. They might be the best tasting marshmallows I have ever had (vegan or not).
