I would make something simple that can be left to cook itself. Go for a huge vegetarian Cassoulet.
Some recipes can take 9 hours. I think that is when they are soaking the beans overnight and then cooking them for 2 hours. Don't waste your time. Go to the supermarket and buy them already cooked in tins. They are just as good. Add plenty of fresh herbs, garlic and onions and vegetables.
Serve it with French bread and a green salad. Cooking this will enable you to spend time with your guests and not slave over a hot stove. It is Sunday after all.

If you are having them over for lunch then the polite thing is for them to enjoy what you are serving. I understand you want everyone to be happy, but your home isn't a resturant. If everyone is so picky or this is really stressful for you go out to eat.
One very casual idea is: (Burger Bar) Turkey/chicken, fish, beef and veggie burgers or portabella (easy to make and or some are already made up for you);
*have various types of buns and or bread, some unusual toppings (pesto mayo, mustards...),
*different veggies (lettuce, sprouts, pickles, peppers, cucumber....)
*variety of cheeses;
* variety of chips, a little pasta/potato/slaw type of salads
The same idea, more or less, goes with cold cuts or veggie sandwiches

LOL, lots of fruit. No, seriously, a lovely fruit cup or a tray would be a great thing, I love fresh pineapple.
Fix breakfast! No one can argue with waffles or pancakes. and it is Su8nday brunch/lunch, so this is very appropriate. And they make meatless sausage. Serve the fruit. Fry some potatoes.
Make a fruited bread pudding, if the veggie will eat eggs . Saw one with cranberries I want to try.
If they are alcohol drinkers, mix some champagne and some OJ. Not drinkers? Serve some juice blends or flavored teas.

I would set it up as a fondue style lunch with swiss cheese and maybe a cheddar chipotle style fondues (recipes below). Offer something like grilled/broiled steak chunks, grilled/broiled chicken breast cut up , fresh or semi steamed or grilled veggies (like broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, green, red or yellow peppers) Also offer bread chunks as well - like french or Italian bread in thick slices, cut in half, or pumpernickel (compliments meats well) - it covers all your bases and still satisfies ALL of your guests! For dessert, place a large bowl of mixed fruits in the center with a cream cheese dip and you have a complete meal with a healthy ending!
Swiss cheese fondue:
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Swiss Cheese Slices (I use Kraft Brand), cut into thin strips
1 Tbsp. flour
1 clove garlic, cut in half
1 cup dry white wine
1/8 tsp. salt
1 dash each ground nutmeg and white pepper
Toss cheese with flour in medium bowl; set aside. Rub inside of heavy saucepan with garlic; discard garlic. Add wine; heat until bubbles rise to surface. (Do not boil.)
Add 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture; stir constantly with wooden spoon until cheese is melted. Repeat until all of the cheese has been added. Continue to stir on medium-low heat until cheese mixture thickens. Stir seasonings.
Pour fondue to heated fondue pot. Keep fondue bubbling while serving. Dip bread chunks, chicken, meat or veggies into fondue. If fondue becomes too thick, add small amount of additional wine.
Cheddar Chipotle Fondue:
2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 Tbsp. Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp. chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, pureed
Mix all ingredients in medium saucepan. Cook on low heat until process cheese is melted and mixture is heated through, stirring constantly.
Serve in fondue pot with toasted bread cubes, roasted cubed potatoes, cut-up grilled chicken or cut-up grilled vegetables.
Use seasonal vegetables as dippers for this fondue. Just brush your favorite vegetables with Italian dressing, butter/salt/pepper combo and grill or broil until tender. Then, cut into bite-size pieces and serve with the fondue.
