    You can even make the toasts ahead of time (or buy in the deli section) and keep them in a sealed ziploc bag.

    Another good point is that this bruschetta is also great as a dip with tortilla or pita chips.

    Make these appetizers 3 to 4 days ahead. There are only 5 ingredients.

    Just make sure they're covered with a good seal so they don't dry out in the refrigerator. You could even precut and lay them out in a large casserole and that would be even easier to cover.

    4. The Best Slow Cooker Spiced Cashews

    Slow Cooker Spiced Cashews are overflowing a chocolate brown bowl.

    These can be made ahead of time and it is all so simple in the crockpot. Check out the spices!

    Vegan Thanksgiving Menu for 2019!

    I believe this is our menu for Thanksgiving this year. Now let me clarify a little bit. There are still two months for the guest list to change.

    It is pretty versatile and hits all the marks for all ages. the only thing that might change is there may be another finger food added for kids like these Nuts and Bolts.

    I think all of the gluten-free people are more than covered too and the omnivores won't know what hit them. They'll be so sated.

    Everyone isn't going to eat everything but they will have amazing choices.

    A Complete and Fabulously Festive Menu

    1. Besides the two drinks listed here, there will also be beer and wine. Wine in red and white.
    2. All four appetizers will be in the house. They are needed and the variety is just right.
    3. They'll just be one stuffing this year and it will be the Vegan Sausage stuffing. I think the omni eaters will be super happy.
    4. Because twice-baked sweet potatoes are always popular and they can be made in advance then it's a no brainer.
    5. That super green bean casserole and homemade cranberry sauce are must makes.
    6. Apple broccoli salad can be made ahead of time too so that will be another dish that will disappear.
    7. Lots and lots and lots of gravy.
    8. For the main dish, the Veggie Loaf will be right alongside all of the other dishes.
    9. Now for the vegan Thanksgiving desserts. There probably needs to be at least two so how about that super chocolate torte and the classic pecan pie.
