Top 6 Vegetarian Thanksgiving Dishes

If you’re skipping the turkey to cut down on your carbon footprint this year, don’t be sad, the best classic Thanksgiving dishes are vegetarian anyway! Here are the top six (click for recipes!):

1.       Pumpkin pie

2.       Mashed Potatoes

3.       Cranberry Sauce

4.       Candied Yams

5.       Green Bean Casserole (This recipe skips the canned soup!)

6.       Halved Acorn Squash

Many of the ingredients can also be bought locally. Cranberries, pumpkins, squash, and even potatoes are all grown in Massachusetts, so look for local varieties to support agriculture and the local economy.
