Guest guest Posted June 6, 1999 Report Share Posted June 6, 1999 How about bruchetta for finger food. Thats easy and yum. Just brush some thick sliced french bread with olive oil and bake for about 15 minutes, then top with some roma tomatoes diced and marinated in olive oil and rice vinegar with basil. Top with some fresh shredded parmesan. You can make a delicious vegie calzone. I always cheat and use the frozen bread dough, thaw and roll out. Brush with sauce and add a layer of ricotta, then some stir fried vegies, I tend to use spinach , mushroom and onion. Top with shredded mozerella and a few diced/crushed cloves of garlic, roll it up and bake it. You can make foccacia, make an olive one and a sun dried tomatoe one and a basil and garlic or portobello musroom. You can make cheese ravioli, or vegie lasagna with white sauce. If the sauce is red they'll be expecting meat. Make tiramisu for dessert and you have a lovely feast! Best of luck, Juel New to list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all Italian and are meat eaters. Any suggestions??????? > While I don't cook meat any more for anyone, if this is a grilling party I would buy a variety of sausages to grill, including meat and nonmeat varieties, and then do everything else vegetarian. I personally wouldn't do meat hamburgers since I don't want to touch them, but I don't think that sausages would bother me. I assume that your husband would be comfortable with meat and would be willing to touch them and grill them. I expect that we will see some wonderful recipes this week from Vegetarian Grill which will be great for a July 4 picnic. We had a grilling party at work this week, a-bring -our-own-meat-to-grill, and I ended up bringing a Boco Burger that I cooked the night before, rather than have my vegetarian food grilled on the same surface as meat. But to make Debbie's in-laws happy I would be willing to grill my veggie sausages first. Here is a salad for your party which I took to a picnic last weekend.
