What are other vegetarians having for their Christmas meal?

I am staying with my daughter over Christmas this year. She and her partner, and my husband are carnivores. My granddaughter and I are lacto vegetarians. When I am at home I normally have all the trimmings plus portobello mushrooms cooked in a garlic and wine sauce. However my granddaughter hates mushrooms and I don't want to complicate the Christmas table with yet another vegetarian dish, so does anyone have any suggestions for something delicious that both she and I could enjoy alongside the usual Christmas fare.

    My choices:

    Nut roast

    Linda McCartney chicken style roast

    Veggie toad in the hole (use an egg substitute)

    Extra stuffing! My mum used to put stuffing in large mushrooms with Boursin/Roule cheese- you could probably do something like this with roast peppers instead

    A lentil bake, which can be prepared well ahead of time, so that there's not so much going on in the kitchen at once

    I'm having an all vegan Christmas this year! Our food will include a Field Roast vegan "Turkey," biscuits, cranberries, sweet potato with vegan marshmellows (the ones without gelatin, which is not even vegetarian), vegan pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, vegan egg nog, stuffing, spinach salad, and some kind of soup.. Not sure which kind we'll get yet.

    how about a dish with sietan it's the other white meat. Hopefully where you live there is at least one whole foods supermarket or wegmans market or trader joes or a vegetarian restaurant where you can buy something frozen or even ready made. Does she make macaroni and cheese? I usually use it as an excuse to gorge myself on mac n cheese during the holidays...but thats bad so scratch that. Good Luck.

    a quinoa dish is good (kind of like rice but chewier and its a total protein) with some bellpeper, zuchini, and onion with some lemon juice and parsely. a good vegetable stew, pasta/lasagna, soup, etc. even if you are vegetarian you still have TONS of options for food. get creative and experiment around

    Not exactly traditional, but I'm making vegan pizza. I did enough cooking on Thanksgiving so I want Christmas to be fun.

  • A casserole of some sort? That could work well. It would be filling and hearty, so it would work well with the weather being so cold where you are.

    There are a lot of vegetarian casserole recipes here;

    Fruits and vegetables have not many calories, and they're easy to burn off w/ light exercise. And some vegetables like avocados are high in healthy fats.
