I'm not going to the family Thanksgiving event for various reasons. While I'm staying home I will be sending the hubby with a green bean casserole suitable for the vegans in the family. You can get vegan cream of mushroom soup, but I'll be making it with the vegan nutritional yeast/cheese sauce, fresh green beans, and fresh mushrooms. Easy to make but I do suggest smoked paprika helps it quite a bit. Even the Keto hubby can eat it, carbs are low enough.

I really like the fresh cranberry relish made with the old fashioned grinder. You could probably do in a Cuisinart but I just grind a package (or two, they've gotten smaller over the years) of fresh cranberries, an entire orange (seeds removed but skin and all, an apple, and maybe some finely chopped walnuts and/or cranberries. I use quite a bit less sugar than usually recommended, maybe 1-2 cups?. Make the day before and the pectin in the apple and cranberries doesn't make it like the gelled variety, but it does thicken up a bit.
