Vegan Recipe Club (online): Eat Well be Well 

‘Tis the season to gather, and we have the perfect seasonal gathering planned! Join us at our annual **ThanksLiving vegan potluck** to celebrate a vision of a more compassionate future where all animals (human and nonhuman) can thrive.

ThanksLiving will be held at **Matthews Park in south Minneapolis on Saturday, November 23rd. It will begin at 2pm and end at 4pm**. (Be sure and come early for the best selection!). This free event is open to everyone. Bring your friends to experience tasty plant-based food and meet our compassionate community!

#### **The Food**

Please bring a vegan dish to share (no meat, milk, eggs, butter, cheese, honey, or other animal products). The following divisions are suggested to help ensure that we get a good variety of items:

* If your last name begins with A through J, please bring a main dish or salad.
* If your last name begins with K through R, please bring a side dish or appetizer (vegan mashed potatoes and gravy welcomed!)
* If your last name begins with S through Z, please bring a dessert.
* If you want to buy and prepare a Turkey-free Turkey Roast from The Herbivorous Butcher, [sign up here.](https://signup.com/go/vzkipuy)

We’ve found that this naming schema works well for providing a good spread of food. However, if you have a prize recipe in a different category you’d really like to bring, feel free to do so! Looking for recipe ideas? Check out this list of [50 simple vegan Thanksgiving recipes](https://sweetsimplevegan.com/50-easy-vegan-thanksgiving-recipes/). Please bring an ingredient list to place next to your dish on the serving table so that people who have allergies can check.
ThanksLiving is sponsored by the [Herbivorous Butcher](https://www.theherbivorousbutcher.com/), and will feature their vegan stuffed turkeys and meatloaf in addition to the potluck!

#### **The Event**

* Aside from all the great food, ThanksLiving is a wonderful place to find support, connection, and information about vegan eating. There will be icebreaker cards at the tables to help you get to know others. When you complete the icebreaker form, you can use it to enter to win a raffle prize. There will also be information about vegan eating and a presentation about CAA.
* Kids with an adult to supervise them are welcome. There will be a kid-centric table with coloring books available for them.
* Many Thanksgiving events have been, and are, part of a narrative that celebrates colonialism and glosses over U.S. mistreatment of indigenous people. CAA uses this pre-existing holiday to gather as a community and imagine a better future, including one that respects indigenous peoples’ land rights and treaties. For this event, please consider using ingredients that are fairly sourced from indigenous communities and farmers. Check out the vegan options available at the local Indigenous Food Lab Market, such as [wild rice](https://iflmarket.square.site/product/wild-rice-native-wise/94?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=10) and [maple syrup](https://iflmarket.square.site/product/maple-syrup-native-wise/92?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=10). You can buy online or visit them in-person on Lake Street!

#### **Keeping Everyone Safe**

* If you are feeling ill (sore throat, or cough, etc), please help keep everyone safe by staying home to get well. We look forward to seeing you at a future event.
* Please consult our [Plant-Based Food Safety Guide](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FZev7-VzGXSJtyGTxWXIG5AJtCUi4GDF/view) and be sure to prepare your food hygienically and according to these guidelines.

#### **Volunteering**

* Are you Interested in volunteering to help make this event happen? [Sign up here.](https://signup.com/go/vzkipuy) **We’d love to have you!**

Prepare a main dish, side dish, dessert, or appetizer using the ingredient. Please bring the recipe or the list of ingredients to share. Your dish should not contain any meat, eggs, dairy, fish, butter, or derivatives of these products.

We will meet in the gym of Salem Covenant Church – 339 North 59th Ave. W in Duluth. There is plenty of parking in the lot. Feel free to bring your veg-friendly friends!

This group is sponsored by Compassionate Action for Animals and is a welcoming and non-judgmental group. Everyone is welcome – wherever you are on your veg journey!
