Thanksgiving Substitutions

This year, as in previous years, I learned to substitute in order to make our Thanksgiving accessible to the kosher members of the family, as well as to the Organic Vegan members. I learned that Vanilla Soy (regular) is a great substitute for evaporated milk in a pumpkin pie recipe; that Soy milk (regular) makes a great substitute for the milk or buttermilk in biscuits; and, that you can make a green bean casserole, complete with fried onions on top, by substituting for the cream of mushroom soup, a "creamy" mixture made with finely chopped mushrooms sauteed in canola oil to which flour and regular flavored soy milk is added. Thanksgiving traditions are saved!!
