Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes

I am planning a vegetarian thanksgiving and I am looking for some good recipes that will not have meat but still capture some of the flavor of a good Thanksgiving meal. Any advice, recipes or tips would be great.

All Day Apple Butter

• 5 1/2 lbs. apples (peeled and finely chopped)

• 1/4 tsp. ground cloves

Directions

Place apples in a slow cooker. Combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; pour over apples and mix well. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 9 to 11 more hours or until thickened and dark brown, stirring occasionally. (Stir more frequently as it thickens to prevent sticking.)

Chocolate Cobbler

This is great for all you chocolate lovers and it is so easy. We love this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 box (21 1/2-ounce size) brownie mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 package (9-ounce size) yellow cake mix - dry
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine - softened
• 1 can (21-ounce size) cherry filling and topping

Directions

Prepare brownie mix according to package directions using water, vegetable oil and egg. Spread dough evenly in a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven 15 minutes, or until brownies are halfway done.

Meanwhile, cut butter into dry cake mix until mixture is crumbly. Remove half-baked brownies from oven; spoon cherry filling as evenly as possible over brownie layer. Sprinkle cake mixture over cherry layer.

Continue baking in a 350F degree oven about 50 minutes, or until top is golden brown and brownies and filling are set. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Yummooo!
