As the token vegetarian at Thanksgiving dinner, I always make sure there are some delicious veggies for me to eat. Thanksgiving is about indulgence, so they've got to be filling and require at least one stick of butter to cook. <br/><br/>Pictured is a squash and kale stuffed chive biscuit, roasted cauliflower and purple carrots with toasted Panko breadcrumbs, mushroom and leek "pigs" in a blanket, sautéed garlic green beans and brussels and creamy mash. - Shayla Love

My mom had an episode so I got my plate to go. She's fine now, so obviously we're all thankful for that. Also thankful my sister Lisa's "world famous" muffins were still warm when I popped the lid. - John Del Signore
