Thanksgiving - Part 2

Well I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!  I know I did :)
For Thanksgiving, I made stuffing and cornmeal biscuits.  Sadly though, the biscuits tasted awful!  To me at least, but my dad was supposed to try it today with butter.  Also, the better part of Thanksgiving, was that a lot of my family (all of which are meat-eaters) took some of the stuffing I made and they liked it, if not loved it!  It really was fantastic even though it wasn't that pretty :) So here's the goods:

Cornmeal Biscuits

Note: I used at least 3 3/25 of cold bananas because the pebble-like dough wasn't appearing. They were bitter.

Vegan Stuffing

Note: Best stuffing ever!  Seriously!  I doubled it, and added maybe 14 ounces of mushrooms, 1/3 cup of pine nuts which I smashed.  Also, while the rice was cooling, I added some of the celery, mushrooms, pine nuts into the rice while the rest went into the bread mixture.  I did the stuffing in only a few hours.  It still tasted great!
Enjoy!

I Have Just Discovered the BEST Stuffing Ever!

First of all, the Four Post Series for the Holidays won't be posted again until latest Sunday, but hopefully Saturday.  Anyway, a lot of foods at Thanksgiving are filled with, are, or has some meat in it.  Whether it be a beef-stock, butter, or miniscule pieces of meat, it is not Vegan.  
Now, no one else in my family is a Vegan, and even though my mum is a Pesco-tarian, she won't eat the stuffing at our family's in case of beef-stock in there, because she made the mistake once, and it affected her greatly for a few hours.  
Anyway, I have made two new recipes today that are good.  First, is a Vegan Cornmeal Biscuit recipe that got a three out of five stars in my opinion, and a Vegan Stuffing.  Yummmm......... It is so good!  I know I shouldn't be eating it, but I only took a few bites, but seriously, it was so good!  
Everyone excited for Thanksgiving? :)
I am! 
If anyone else has any good Vegan Thanksgiving or any holiday recipes, please feel free to post underneath!  Thanks!  Happy Thanksgiving!
