IS FOR TAMALES
Some look forward to seitan
slices, pastry-wrapped
Wellingtons, and lentil
loaves. But come winter, our
eyes are on tender Mexican
tamales. From the freshly
steamed corn masa to the
savory, saucy, spicy (and
sometimes sweet) fillings,there’s nothing we don’t
love about tamales. Jackfruit
verde, sweet potato-black
bean-spinach, jalapeño
and cheese, or pineapple-
coconut drizzled with vegan
condensed milk ... we love
them all. This year, change
things up and add some spice
to your holiday tradition.- Tofurky Ham Roast
with Amber Ale Glaze:
This succulent, smoky seitan
ham comes ready-wrapped
in butchers’ string and
features a sweet-and-tangy
glaze made from malty,
caramelly, organic ale.

Holidays mean family, and
family sometimes means
conflicting beliefs and
awkward conversations.
This year, we say no more!
Discuss politics at the
dinner table, stand up for
turkeys, remind everyone
what the first Thanksgivingwas really about. There’s no
time like the present to use
your voice for things that
matter. Plus, once you get it
all out in the open, you can
focus less on the tension
in the room and more
on enjoying your vegan
pumpkin pie.U
