Vegan Cornbread Dressing Ingredients…

Having a traditional Thanksgiving meal as a vegan is not the easiest thing. In fact, the turkey part is not possible. It’s meat, after all. But! There’s plenty more that is safe to eat, even if it’s not the healthiest meal ever. Mashed potatoes, green beans, and my favorite is cornbread dressing/stuffing.

[before baking]

Instead of eggs, I used flaxseed. Instead of dairy milk, almond milk. Swap out the chicken broth with veggie broth and that’s basically it. Here are the measurements:

3 cups Jiffy vegetarian cornbread mix (with almond milk, flaxseed instead of eggs)

bread pieces (3 cups)

chopped onions (1 cup)

cut celery (1 cup)

flaxseed (3 tbsp)

poultry seasoning (to taste)

veggie broth (1.5 cartons)

water (3 tbsp)

I also added mushroom gravy which consisted of sliced mushrooms, flour, and veggie broth. Super easy to make even for someone like me who is terrible in the kitchen.

Happy Thanksgiving from Out of the Wilderness

I had the opportunity to go out on my dad’s boat with a few family members and had an impromptu photo shoot. This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful that I’m good at other things besides being an international supermodel.

Wake Me Up – The Country Version We Didn’t Know We Needed?

The original “Wake Me Up” was released 11 years ago with Aloe Blacc and Avicii. I loved it back then and I still love the song today. I know what I think about this country version but I’m curious what you think. Take a look then scroll down for more…

The melody is reminiscent of the original (and the acoustic) but with a few added instruments. Chime in below with your thoughts. And I guess if you want to cover this as an opera song or heavy metal, it’s out there for anyone to do anything they want with it. 🤔🤧😵

The Volvo Commercial Everyone’s Talking About

Sometimes a car commercial barely shows the car at all. The most recent getting attention is Jaguar for a bizarre commercial that has nothing to do with any of their fleet of vehicles. They say it’s just the beginning, something more is on the way but from the feedback I’ve been seeing, it’s already too late to save whatever big idea they had for the campaign. I’ll put that video down at the bottom so the first thing you see is something so much more meaningful.

The Volvo brand has been known for safety all of my life. It’s a quality they embrace to the fullest, just like the parents in this heartwarming commercial embracing their newborn. Check it out then scroll down for more…

Did they show everything a buyer needs to know about a car before purchase? Not even close. But I guarantee anyone in the market for a new car will give Volvo a second glance after this commercial. It’s sweet. It’s emotional. It’s heart wrenching and it has a happy ending. It’s also a bit of a warning: If you don’t get a Volvo, you might find yourself in a situation you never want to be in. But they didn’t yell. They pulled our heartstrings. It’s a win for Volvo all around, not to mention the EX90 looks great.

Jaguar, on the other hand, no one knows what they’re doing and at this point, I’m sure they’re thinking “It’s fine, everything’s fine.”

Here’s the Jaguar commercial that might be the Bud Light of 2024.
