Being a vegetarian has its ups and downs.
So, when it comes to Thanksgiving, you could imagine the rollercoaster of emotions your tongue is feeling. And mind, heart and everything in between.
As difficult as it may or may not be, Turkey Day is still a blessing for those not partaking in the turkey part.
1. “No thanks, no turkey for me” on repeat. But, hey, you know you’re doing some good for animals and your body.
2. Sides are your best friend.
3. ROLLS ON ROLLS ON ROLLS *cue the halleluiah chorus*
4. Every Thanksgiving is a great excuse to try some new alternative recipes?
5. Relatives give you weird looks when they see your plate full of nothing, but side dishes. And, you could care less, because SIDE DISHES!!!
6. Bacon or ham in the green beans? Turkey stuffing? Greattttttt.
7. By not eating any meat, you save more room for dessert. YASSSSS.
8. You also get to drink more wine, which is just awesome.
9. Everyone thinks you’re so cool and healthier for not eating meat, but really you probably have completely different reasons for being a vegetarian. But, hey, I’ll take it?
10. And, lastly, you feel better about yourself and know you’re doing you, which makes you happy, and that’s all that matters.
