You are under no obligation to serve non veg food. Make mac and cheese or

lasagna or enchiladas or a huge crockpot of spaghetti. You can add Mexican rice

and there's a ton of delicious side dishes. They will be offended? Aaahhh they

will digest it. Don't let it bother you and you need not be meek about your new

lifestyle. You don't eat meat anymore and you don't care to cook it, end of

story.

They will have full plates of good food and no one turns down good food.

Non vegetarians beg to come and eat my food.

Anyway, we have my son's birthday coming up and I am facing a dilemma.

Do I conform to everyone else and cook meat, or do? I just serve

veggie dishes? I know my parents will be offended and won't eat the

veggie dishes, but I feel that if no one else wants to accomadate me,

why should I accomadate anyone else? Is it wrong to think that way?

 

It's your party and you certainly have the right to serve what suits you.? ? I

just cannot believe how important meat is to so many people.? Gads, it's only

for one meal, not a lifetime.? I would make lasagna (in place of meat use the MS

crumbles and no one will ever know), veggie sides, birthday cake,?desserts,

whatever,?end of story.? If someone takes offense, so be it.? It's not as if

you're refusing to feed them and serving bread and water.? If they get hungry

enough, they'll eat or let them eat cake!? LOL

I like to make lasagna roll up or stuffed shells. Take a look in our pasta

You can do a veggie lasagna, a baked mac & cheese, pasta with broccoli, a

big green salad, a fruit salad, veggies and dip, a taco bar using vegetarian

refried beans with all the fixes.

 

Make the foods that you like to eat.

Since we are new vegetarians, we have only recently been to family

functions with our family of non-vegetarians. Now, my husband still

eats meat on occassion, but I won't eat it. I know that my in-laws

know that I am a veggie, but when my fil asked me what kind of meat I

wanted for the 4th, I told him that I don't eat meat. He acted

surprised, but said that he would cook me a veggie burger, which they

have for great-granny, but he didn't. Not having lunch that day, I was

starving...

can only eat so much mashed potatoes, watermelon, corn on the cob, and

green beans at these functions. My husband suggested serving lasagna

or something like that, a dish that could appear meat filled, but not

me. I am thinking about making the pary betwenn lunch and dinner so

that everyone is on their own and just providing snacks.

[Guest guest]

Snacks is a great way to avoid the issues. Lasagne is a good idea, too.

Make what you would eat, and if your parents are upset, explain the situation to

them. I bet they are not even aware of how you feel.

I agree. Put crumbles in your lasagne (do you need to tell them it's

not meat?), I do that all the time and my meat eating guests have no

clue! Same with chili. Garlic bread, huge salad, side dishes etc.

Just make what you want and don't apologize!

I made lasagna for a superbowl party I had, I used spinach in place of the meat

and nobody said anything except for my meat eating stubborn German father, he

said, " this is the best lasagna I ever had "

HA! I also made stuffed mushrooms.

make a positive statement. make what you want (veggie?) and just let

While most veggies don't eat meat at all, nearly all carnis will eat veggie

stuff. And we all know that there are a countless variety of things you can

serve.

 

I my view it's a great chance to show people how great a veggie party can

be.

[Guest guest]

I am so sorry that your eating habits were not honored and provided the

veggie burger you were promised. In the future, I would always take a dish

that you can eat, eat before you get there, and have a back up dish in the

car too. The backup dish in the car is good for when the dish you take that

is vegetarian gets eaten up before you get any or you don't get enough to

quell your hunger. And it also a good idea to keep some goodies on hand in

your car for emergencies, because they always arise when it comes to eating

choices. I especially do this because I have two DD's and never want them

to feel hungry or deprived by lack of good food choices.

 

 

 

Since going veggie, I have learned that I cannot depend on anyone to take

care of me or make sure that my eating style will be honored.

 

 

Whether or not to create a meal that includes meat depends on what your

personal beliefs are. At first when I went veg*n I did not see what the big

deal would be to continue to cook meat for those that eat it. But the

longer you are veg*n it seems like that changes and it is harder to create

meals that include it. I have determined for myself that since I do not eat

meat and my house is veg*n safe meaning that I cook the way that feels best

for me. I would not do it out of spite because they refused to make sure

that you had a veggie burger, but because that is what your personal beliefs

are behind it. If you fix meat once begrudgingly, then you will be expected

to do it again and to accommodate them and their dietary habits. It also

says that you are not really that strong in your beliefs on being a veg*n.

I would fix the food and let them decide if they want to eat it or not. It

will not hurt them to be open to trying something new or being without meat

once will not kill them. You know?

 

 

 

My mother at first seemed to be okay with me and my girls going veg*n until

she found that she had a hard time trying to figure out what to cook for us

and so forth. Now she is not so supportive and thinks that what we eat is

nasty or somehow not " real " food. Omni's eat the basic four meats the a

1001 one ways, but without the flavors and spices it all tastes the same and

is VERY bland. At least being veg*n even if we couldn't season our food, we

have more than a 1001 different flavors coming from the food itself and that

is a huge experience than being limited to four basic tastes that HAS to be

doctored in order to taste good. So, they love what is done to the meat,

than the actual meat itself. It is all in the spices. That is more because

she is closed off and really don't want to like it, so she doesn't. She

calls it " y'all " food. I mean seriously, food is food. We just took out

the meat and eat the rest. And since your family is still omni's then you

can probably make dishes that include tofu (they will be surprised at how

good that is) and seitan (the best wheat meat on the market). I had a

seitan sandwich and I would have sworn it was meat. It so reminded me of

meat in a gyro in texture and consistency on the way they prepared it. It

is very versatile. You can get some soy crumbles by Morningstar of your

favorite for the lasagna, if you prepare it.

 

 

 

At any rate, good luck with everything. I would not allow anyone to make

your eating preference more about them, than about you. Meaning it is not a

personal affront to them, it is a choice you made for yourself and you are

not forcing it on them. It is all about mutual respect for our individual

beliefs. When you go to their get-togethers, you can expect to see meat

there. And when they come to yours, they can expect not to see it. That

should be okay and not taken personal. It can't just be a one-way thing

where you have to do all the compromising and they don't.

[Guest guest]

I agree with previous posts. If they want meat let them know they can bring  a

dish if they dont want to try veggie dishes. In my experience meat eater usually

love veggie lasagna. Also, I understand where you are coming from, when going to

cookouts,parties its always meat, and maybe some potato salad. I am trying to

learn to bring things for myself. So in conclusion continue with your sons

veggie party and advise guests if it doesnt offend you or your son to bring a

meat dish.

[Guest guest]

I think that making the party between lunch and dinner, providing only snacks is

a great idea. We do that alot but, we have a huge family, we had 37 people

(all local family) over for the 4th. Birthdays are about the same and snacks are

more cost effective.

 

I would be frustrated though and totally understand where you are at. I don't

cook meat for my family, they either cook it themselves or bring their own.

Otherwise they eat my food the way I cook it, without meat.

 

Good Luck,

You can only do what you feel is right for you.  For me, I would try to

accommodate my guests, because when I entertain I'm always thinking of my

guests.  For instance, I cannot stomach tofu, but if I had guests that loved it,

I would incorporate it into the menu.  Being veg. is my life choice and not my

guests.  I just believe that serving others is one of the best gifts I can give

to myself.  On the other hand, I wouldn't serve a 10 course meal of meat either,

but probably make sure there was one meat item (guests are always asking what

they can bring, so ask one of them to bring a meat dish), and have the rest

snacks and casseroles, etc. that everyone seems to enjoy.  As long as you don't

make it a big deal, then I'm sure everyone will enjoy and be thankful for what

is served and just have fun.  Kelly

 

 

 

 

 

[Guest guest]

I'd make what you would eat but try and make something everyday

enough that they probably won't even notice. Lasagna, spaghetti,

veggie pizza.

When invited to someone else's house, I always take a side dish that

I can make a meal out of if pressed because there isn't much there.

I've also been known to take a hamburger bun and load it with

lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup and mustard and that is my main

dish. Veggie sandwiches are awesome. You kind of learn to bring

your own food a lot or be very creative. You'll find a lot of people

don't really understand what vegetarian really means.

Something else to note is that most people who are inviting you

to their homes for a pot-luck or bring a dish meal, don't really

care what you eat of what is available. They want YOU and your

company....otherwise, why invite you?

Nancy C.

[Guest guest]

I had this same issue a few months back when I had a get together at

my home. Everyone that was coming over knew that I'm vegetarian.

After a few days of pondering what to do I decided to serve only

vegetarian foods. I am proud to say that I had no complaints what so

ever. In fact everyone raved about the food and even asked for some

of the recipes. I feel you should go with what you eat and not worry

about everyone else. The rule in my house is if you want meat, you

make it yourself.

I dont think you should cook to someone elses needs in your home, had they

you never know they might be suprised trying something new and they may just

like it too

 

You may get a few converts, so take up your husbands idea and disquise a few

they expect meat. I know I would. I personally wouldnt want to cook all day and

something terrible.  Otherwise she has to procure it elsewhere.  I collect

Fiestaware, so I color-code dishes on Thanksgiving, the other occasion when I

make stuff with meat.  Pink for meat, turquoise for lacto, green for vegan. 

 

Also, I have people over for NASCAR virtually every week it runs.  Anyone who

wants meat brings it.  I make things like chili sin carne, portobello or avocado

sandwiches, veggie burgers, and veggie pizza, plus of course crudites and

chips.  Recently at Answers NASCAR, several people asserted that real

NASCAR fans *love* their meat.  I and about ten or more frequent houseguests beg

to differ.  So would a few drivers.  :-)

 

Blessed be,

Jayelle

That is such a great idea!  I'll have to try that.  Kelly
