I went to my friend Mark's house for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner, and had a super delicious meal. Mark, his brother Michael, Michael's wife Lalanya, and their 8 ½ week old daughter Geneva had me over for a scrumptious meal... 2nd year running! On a sidenote, Lalanya is vegan, and throughout her entire pregnancy, every time I saw her she looked so great... her eyes were so white, she was glowing, just so healthy. And her baby Geneva is the healthiest baby. Lalanya is going to write a blog for the site about her pregnancy and her birth, and her healthy lifestyle with her baby! So stay tuned... Anyways, we had a whole Thanksgiving meal; mashed potatoes, greens, this "smothered pork" dish, and the best cheesecake ever. Michael got these recipes from the Vegetarian Times, and they are both amazing. Definitely perfect for a kind Thanksgiving!

    Sounds delicious!:) I made a similar dish the other night, but with whole grain fusili noodles instead of the seitan.... it was kind of like a mushroom stroganoff I guess you could say. I'll definitely have to give this one a whirl! :)
