Dinner hosting for meat eaters

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I'm brand new to the group and actually groups, blogs, etc. so sorry if I

commit any internet taboos.

I've only been a vegetarian (aiming to be vegan- but still learning) since

May and haven't had much of a chance to experiment with recipes. My husband

(not veg) and I are having some friends over next week for dinner it will be a

couple with a 2, and 12yr old any meal suggestions for a house full of meat

eaters, I'd like something great that they won't miss the meat!

Thanks!

HI:

 

You can do a lasagna with veggies, I make mine using chopped frozen spinach,

chopped frozen broccoli, shredded carrots and some chopped black olives.

You can serve a big mixed green salad and some garlic bread with it.

 

You can also do vegetarian refried beans, and do a make your own taco thing.

Have chopped lettuce, tomato, olives, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers,

onions, guacamole.

You can also use some of the vegetarian crumble to make a filling for

taco's.

 

There is also hummus and veggies, with cut up pita's for dipping and

falafel.

Hi,

We have folks over often that aren't vegetarian and I make several recipes that

I have in the files on here. Just look for my name under the recipe and you'll

see the one that I am referring to.

Here are some suggestions

Soup night.

I make the Potato " Chicken " Noodle Soup, Italian Veggie Soup(like Minestrone

Soup) and Lentil Soup,(under Hot soup recipes in the files) along with crusty

Garlic Bread and Fruit Salad or Macaroni Salad or Mandrain Romaine Salad

 

Homemade Pizza Night

I make homemade pizza(recipe in the files) You can either use the crust recipe

in the files or use 2 packages of Pizza Crust mix made up. I use jarred Pizza

Sauce, brown some Vegetarian Burger(Worthington Brand(canned) or Morningstar

Brand Crumbles(frozen). I bake the crust in the oven for about 6 minutesfirst,

before adding any toppings. We love pinapple tidbits, onions, bell peppers,

olives, mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, etc. on ours.

Serve with salad and homemade brownies or rootbeer floats

 

Chinese Night

Make Stir Fry http://tinyurl.com/sdmu3 and Vegetarian Fried Rice

http://tinyurl.com/y2cukv (Both recipes in the files). Sam's Club has

Vegetarian Egg Rolls in the Frozen Section(mingh brand). We really like these

with some Spring Roll Sauce that you can buy at an Asian /Korean Market. Chinese

Coleslaw is delicious with this meal theme also. Have sliced oranges and

dessert of choice. Serve Hot Green Tea

 

All American Meal

Vegetarian " Meat Loaf " http://tinyurl.com/telp7 along with twice baked

potatoes and Garlic Green Beans(open a can of green beans and drain. Put some

smart Balance in a Frying Pan and heat. Add minced fresh garlic. Saute lightly

and add drained green beans and a pinch of Thyme) and continue sauting until

heated thru. Serve with Garlic Bread and a salad. Corn on the Cob is good

with this also.

 

Thai Night

Marianted Cucumbers http://tinyurl.com/tmlyn , Roasted Butternut Squash and

Carrot Creamy Soup, and Cold Thai Noodle Salad http://tinyurl.com/sk2ht (all

in the files)

 

Thanksgiving Dinner

Prosage and Jalopeno Loaf http://tinyurl.com/ycy5yc ( you may also use

Morningstar Farms " sausage " crumbles(found in the frozen of your grocery store),

Broccoli Casserole, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Sweet Potatoe Fries, Corn on the

Cob, Cranberry Sauce along with salads and desserts of choice.

 

 

These are a few meal ideas. Check out the files here and have fun planning

delicious meals for your family and friends.
