My brother Asher's backyard and our vegan Thanksgiving spread
This year, my brother Asher hosted vegan Thanksgiving for my family at his home in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Since Asher had graciously agreed to host the shindig, he pulled rank and elected to cater the entire gathering vegan. Besides yours truly, several in attendance were vegan, including my big bro, and Courtney, however the majority of the gang was not used to going Turkey-free! Luckily, my omnivorous family consented to eating an all veg Thanksgiving meal, and we were all pleased by the spread of raw crackers, vegan cheeses, baked Mac N Cheese, “Not Meat Loaf,” hummus, mashed sweet potatoes, scalloped potatoes, raw kale salad, braised kale, and more all catered by Sage Vegan.
Sage Vegan In Echo Park catered the Best Thanksgiving Ever
In addition to amazing wines brought by my super-generous uncle, we also enjoyed raw cheesecake and ice cream from Kind Kreme, which has a location inside Sage Vegan in Echo Park.

It was wonderful to see my family, dip my feet into the Pacific Ocean and bask in the beautiful greenery of Los Angeles. Out here in the desert in Arizona, we miss green things this time of year! I am so proud of my brother for pushing for an all-vegan Thanksgiving, and am inspired to one day host a similar occasion for our family.
How was your Thanksgiving? Were folks open to your vegan/raw vegan lifestyle?
It looks lovely! Really elegant and delicious.
My brother is elegant, and single. I cannot speak to whether or not he is delicious. Message me if you want his info, Jenny!
I loved vegan Thanksgiving with your family! So much fun to eat vegan mac and cheese and ‘superfood’ chocolate ice cream in a magical garden! 🙂
Thank you for joining us this year, Court! My family loved meeting you and appreciated your patience with their lack of awareness about the benefits of eating algae.
Awesome! I’m interested! Also laughing so hard I’m crying! 🙂
ok! 🙂
Thats so great. the vegan mac and cheese looks delicious. i did traditional turkey/non-vegan dinner for my family and then made some delicious vegan meals for myself. Went great! By the way, I have you on twitter, this is StitchesByTanya
Hey Tanya! Great to connect here and on Twitter 😉 Glad you had an amazing Thanksgiving!
Wow, please let me be a part of your family. And do the exact same thing next year! 🙂 Looks divine!
There’s a higher likelihood that you’ll marry me to someone else than a relation of yours marrying into my family, but either way, you’re my vegan fairy kale mama!
How wonderful! I made myself a few vegan dishes to bring along, but I dream of an all vegan feast like yours 🙂 Everyone is pretty open to my veg lifestyle, I only got a few comments on my “weird-looking” stuffed seitan, and one rather upsetting comment from the little bro. Overall my Thanksgiving was fab, glad yours was too!
Hi Kaitlyn! Seitan seems to scare people. Honestly, it kind of scares me, as I am mildly sensitive to it. Glad the veg lifestyle is overall getting support, and that you had a fab Thanksgiving!
this is beautiful and inspiring. thank you Sarah
Hi Lori! Hope you are doing well 😉
