If you’re like me, you utterly despise when politics are brought up at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Should the topic be brought up during a time like this, you’ll need a pretty amazing distraction to keep your cousins and uncles from throwing fists. What’s the one thing that can physically prevent everyone’s mouths from talking about controversial things? Food, of course!

Here’s a Thanksgiving menu delicious enough to keep everyone’s mouths full for the duration of the meal!

Bonus: Everything is vegan!
