Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is looking forward to a kind holiday. If you haven’t adopted a turkey yet, you still can. And if you need some last minute menu inspiration, look no further! Here are some delicious entrees, desserts, and side dishes you can serve your guests or bring to whatever gathering you’ll be attending this year. One of my favorite go-to appetizers is the Leek and Artichoke Crostini I made with Laura Linney on the Oprah Winfrey Show. It’s ridiculously good, and you can use the leftover pesto on sandwiches.

If you plan to bring a nice bottle of wine or beer to the gathering you’re attending, check Barnivore for a comprehensive list of vegan wines and beers.


What I’m Thankful For...

This year, I’m so thankful for Bear and my husband and this precious, fragile life we get to live. I feel so lucky, moved and inspired by all of you kind lifers. Meeting so many of you along the way has been a joy to me. You are amazing people. Thank you…you make me happier than you could know.

What are you thankful for this year?

Tell me in the comments below.

Love,
Alicia

      Dear Alicia, I am grateful to have met you in New York last Sunday and to share your passion for animals and their welfare on this planet. I am also grateful for The Kind Diet cookbook, which we use all the time. I ate the Thanksgiving meal with carnivores - difficult - but keep trying to show the way simply by eating vegan at these events. Although I have mixed feelings about celebrating a day that marks the slaughter of Native Americans, I find joy in that it is a time to be with family and friends, and wish love and light for all of our Native American brothers and sisters. I hope you, Christopher, and Bear had a wonderful day!

      I am thankful for my family who helped me through a difficult time earlier this year and opened their home to me. Althought it is a bit more difficult to eat the 'vegan/vegetarian' ways (since it's easier to share our food) I try my best to inspire the Kind Diet when ever I can. (your book did NOT go into storage-haha)

      Alicia, you've been a huge part of that inspiration every day and I can't thank you enough for opening your 'kind' ideas from food, to animal love, and the environment! I think it's special that you have not only fans that enjoy the 'entertainment' side of you, but KIND fans, who you have truly helped and I'm sure who are greatful for the changes in their life, that YOU inspired! Not many in the entertainment business get to say that. God bless, and I hope you and your family enjoy a lovely KIND dinner today!

      ps did you get to see the Macy's Parade? Hope you enjoyed!

      I am thankful for having been "awaken" to the realities of the plight of animals across the globe. I know I have been called upon to be their voice. I'm thankful for websites like this one and others that motivate and encourage me to be strong. Happy Thanks Giving Alicia and fellow Kind-Lifers!!

      I'm thankful for my loving husband, family and friends, most of all. I'm also thankful that I get to do what I love, which is work as a hairstylist, and also as the owner of my own business. I'm very thankful for the vegan diet I adopted two years ago, and I'm super excited to dig into our Real Food Daily Thanksgiving meal later!!

      Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Alicia, and to all the Kind-Lifers! Enjoy the holiday!
