That's right, we're going vegan!

But you bet we won't be missing out on one of the best things in life: Thanksgiving dinner.

Many people are now adopting a vegan lifestyle and it may seem impossible, especially as our Thanksgiving dinner host, to find meals that suit us during the holidays. Don't worry, vegans are pure magic and we know just how to make the best meals out of just about anything. Don't believe us? Here are a few recipes you must try that will make all guests satisfied this Thanksgiving:

1. Spinach Dip

This spinach dip may actually be the quickest recipe of the holiday. Vegan appetizers are a must during Thanksgiving, as most of your guests will show up ravenous. Guaranteed, the omnivores at your party will never know the secret behind this vegan dish. It is creamy, cheesy and savory; basically everything we are looking forward to this Thanksgiving.

2. Stuffed Mushrooms

This savory stuffed mushroom recipe will satisfy all of your cheese-loving guests, without actually feeding them cheese. This is the perfect appetizer to hold everyone over before the real feast begins. It is simple, delicious and worth adding to this year’s thanksgiving menu!

3. Tofurky

One of the easiest, yet most essential parts of a vegan Thanksgiving is the Tofurky. It comes already prepared in a multitude of different flavors that are all so delicious! You can find Tofurky at any store, typically in the special diet or vegetarian freezer aisle. Keep it completely frozen until approximately 24 hours before you begin to cook, then transfer to the refrigerator to thaw. Bake it simply or get fancy and roast it with an abundance of vegetables. You and your guests won’t even miss the meat!

4. Vegan Green Bean Casserole

This wonderfully creamy dish doesn't seem like it could possibly have a vegan counterpart. But it does, and it’s delicious! To make this recipe even more simple than it already is, French’s Original Crispy Fried Onions are vegan! So go ahead, add as many fried onions to your dish as your heart desires (we all know that it’s our favorite part of the dish anyway).

5. Vegan Stuffing

My favorite part of thanksgiving, by far. Give me a plate of stuffing and I will be completely satisfied! It is so simple to transform this holiday staple into a vegan friendly recipe. Even if a vegan Thanksgiving isn’t on your priority list, this deliciously simple dish is worth a try. Add a special touch and throw some dried cranberries into the mix, just the way my mother does! You can never really go wrong with stuffing, so go ahead and get creative.

6. Stuffed Acorn Squash

Looking for a healthy recipe to combat the mass amounts of unhealthy foods this Thanksgiving? Look no further. This recipe is stuffed with the high protein superfood, quinoa. That’s right, protein from a non-meat product? Crazy! This recipe will leave all of your vegan guests completely satisfied and thrilled that you went so out of your way (not really) to accommodate for them! Even your non-vegan guests will be amazed at how delicious, and healthy, this colorful dish is.

7. Mashed Potatoes

Six simple ingredients, five of which you already have. The only difference from regular mashed potatoes is that you ditch the milk and swap the butter for the identical vegan version! This recipe is loaded with garlic and is just as creamy as your grandma would make it. A whole scoop of yes, please!

Go get the full recipe already.

8. Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Don’t leave your vegan friends hovering the fruit platter for dessert this Thanksgiving. This one is for all of your gluten-free guests too!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
