Truth be told, the Tofurky roast and the Celebration roast are my favs. For reference, I'm 50 and have been vegan since 1992, so I've been through the wars ;-)

    Thanksgiving is a cool celebration (not celebrated in my country, though). The mental and emotional state of being thankful for what you have is certainly healthy... Fun session, like you said, they are not the healthiest foods. It's an option though, that can make our celebrations and being vegan a little more fun... To be honest, all the dishes you usually make and share with us look a lot better than these processed foods... It's nice to see you two having fun making these videos and helping people to live a healthier life and our planet to get cured (Crystal's laughter is contagious)... Our friends the beautiful and coquettish turkeys thank you, too 🦃

    I do enjoy the tofurky roast (the one I've bought comes with gravy 🤔), but honestly for Thanksgiving we make a big roast cauliflower in a bed of roasted veggies (brussel sprouts, rainbow potatoes, jeweled onions, and baby carrots). We don't have any family events to go to though, so we were able to easily make our own traditions. Which is great, but I know it's not that easy for everyone.

    A good gluten free option is to marinate tofu in the fridge for a couple of hours. Cut the top of the brick to get all the juices in with ham like marinades like mustard etc. You bake it for about an hour and baste it every 20 mins. Was honestly better than any fake meat ive had and somewhat healthy. :)

    Interesting that only the "ham" really pleased your taste buds. Your everyday meals are so much more colorful and healthy, which makes me glad for you. All that stuff looks dense and oily and fake and dead. No criticism of you at all; this was a great idea for a video, but your usual whole food, non-processed, oil-free recipes just sing with life!

    We've had the Tofurky Roast for Thanksgiving for the past three years (we have 3 vegans in our family gatherings). When sliced and laid on top of a good vegan dressing/stuffing with my homemade vegan gravy on top and set beside mashed potatoes, fresh green beans with almond slices, and a good fruit salad, it is really, really good! I don't cook the roast quite as long as the package says. It comes out much more tender.

    It’s nice to see you let loose sometimes. There’s always this image of you guys being gods/goddesses of fitness. I learned a lot from you but the thing that helps me relax with food is thinking back to when you did your food haul and ate a whole bag of salty veg snacks from Costco as you shopped
    -seeing something like this and seeing Derick eat with crystal’s comment “because you get to eat a bunch” puts me in a ‘I’ve been there’ state
