Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm looking for some yummy ideas for Christmas dinners. I like trying new things, and I have some company coming (not much, but some). Dietary restrictions: No gluten No corn No tomatoes No dairy No meat Not too many beans and certainly no chickpeas or black beans No, or little, garlic No, or little, onions Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Oooh, a challenge! One vegan stand-by for holidays is stuffed squash or pumpkin. You'd want to watch the onion/garlic level of such things, but it's manageable. Orange and cranberry relish Tofu seems to be okay on your list, there are a number of pressed tofu recipes, from cutlets up to full-blown tofu-turkey (stuffed with a gluten-free bread or rice stuffing, of course). We make mushroom or vegetable gravy. Lots of vegetable accompaniments - salads with fresh or dried cranberries (though I know most dried cranberries are coated with corn syrup these days) or currants, cooked veggies, maybe in a nutritional-yeast based " cheesy " sauce, green beans with almonds, fresh fruits, crudites with some kind of yummy dip. Mashed potatoes, or maybe scalloped in a dairy-replacement. Sweet potato; perhaps roasted or glazed? Pumpkin " puddings " (crustless pumpkin pie, whatever you want to call it.)

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Oooh, thanks! There are some problems here (i.e. stuff my kids/husband won't but can eat), but still some great ideas.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Meatless meats: http://www.spice-of-life.com/ingrednts.html (I believe there are onions and garlic in the spices) http://www.dixiediner.com/index.php?cPath= & lPath=25 (double check ingredients!) You can try looking up zen buddhist recipes, as they do not use onions, garlic and some other things. They do use gluten though so you'd have to sift through or alter what you find. Here is a tofu turkey roast recipe http://www.recipezaar.com/Tofu-Turkey-Roast-Gluten-Free-Dairy-Free-Egg-Free-Vega\ n-146092 I made this for thanksgiving and it was delicious! You could leave out the garlic and onion. I did not use the stuffing recipe that goes with it. I made raisin bread and made my own stuffing with that and cashews, onion, celery and veg broth. I liked it better without the marinade as well. Next time I'm leaving out the garlic and onion too because I think it would be better without them. I also made sweat potato fries, baked with olive oil and rosemary. I also had mashed potatoes, herb gravy by roads end, pomegranate cranberry sauce and pumpkin spice soy nog. Can't think of anything else at the moment, but if I come up with anything else, I will post it.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 That's my recipe! I combined several recipes and came up with this. I make various stuffings for it - sometimes 2 different types in the one " Turkey " . I also use an extra packet of tofu and adjust the seasonings accordingly. This gives a thicker layer of " turkey " . (One day I'll get around to rewriting the recipe). Make sure the tofu you use is very firm or hard tofu. You can make this the day before and give it the final baking on the day. You can find instructions with photos on my site. (Click the link halfway down the page.) You can print also the instructions. http://www.gfcf.jassinc.com/tofu_turkey_roast.html I serve it up with cashew gravy and cranberry sauce. Last year I also made some " Spiced Cherry Relish " .

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 How about some grilled portobella mushrooms, steamed greens, roasted root veggies, perhaps a brown rice dish and some gravy on the side? --- On Thu, 12/11/08, Shannon West <shanwest wrote: Shannon West <shanwest ideas?!
