This is what I probably won't be having for Thanksgiving, as much as I'd like to. We always go to my sister's and I try to be a good guest and avoid arm wrestling for oven space and stuff like that. Speaking of oven space, last year we ended up with 3 apple pies for Thanksgiving. Everyone brought one. But I digress.....the plate above is a Celebration Roast topped with this wonderful Golden Gravy (tester) from Joanna. We'd never even seen a Celebration Roast before so we grabbed it even quicker than we'd grab a piece of Obama toast!
We were really surprised at how delicious a 'processed' food could be. I'd buy one again in a minute, if I'm lucky enough to see them again. I'm actually toying with the idea of taking enough of the above food in a foil pan and reheating it. Rudeness be damned! This is way better than a crockpot full of whatever I usually take.Let me tell you about that gravy. Oh my goodness, it's good! It's smooth and silky and rich. It was perfect with the roast and mashed potatoes.
Watch, this year nobody will bring an apple pie.
I'm going to go try to make my own Obama toast.

mm... I've been trying out "what to bring to thanksgiving so I'm not miserable, hungry, and salivating" meals too I'm thinking of hollowing out some spaghetti squash and doing little personal bakes or shepherd's pies or something... love that Obama toast! :)
I don't think it's rude at all to take your own portion of Thanksgiving food to your sister's house. Then again, that's what I do every year for my Thanksgiving meal at my mom's house. :)
As soon as you figure out how to make some Obama toast do share! I've see the Celebration Roast but have been hesitant to try it after the yucky Tofurkey Roast I had last year (although I do love every other Field Roast product I've tried so...)
For the Love of Guava, I lvo eyour idea of little personal bakes.. and I"m always a sucker for shepherd's pie! Those are great ideas.
Veghogini, I'm sorry, I wasn't exactly clear. We do always bring our own food (it's the only way), but I try to always do something in a crockpot so I don't usurp the oven.
Aimee, we've never even seen anything else from Field Roast! And I've never tried the tofurkey, and this one is so satisfying that I probably never will.
I really want to try a Field Roast...alas they are no where to be found here. Anyhoo, I don't think it would be rude to take a plate of your own food. It's not like you're asking to use her oven for hours and hours. And that gravy looks delicious!
Celebration roast - never tried it. I definitely need to be on the look out.
