Well, this was for Yule. Our thanksgivings have been pretty isolated for a couple years too and I'm super cozy with that.

It's like one page back I think. :)

It was really dang tasty too. :O And a GREAT change of pace from the stuffed squashes/mushrooms we'd done in previous years. And it was pretty well balanced with high protein fillings (mushrooms, green beans and nuts). It was a big hit!

Last years Vegan Wellington

There will be no fancy veg*n dish this year due to COVID-19, unless one of the boys really wants some stuffed squash. :( No gathering. It's pretty heartbreaking but not worth the risk.

Ok folks, so, an update! I ended up going with this recipe https://delightfulvegans.com/recipe/pecan-mushroom-wellington/ But. Turns out this recipe is terrible. I didn't really notice it before but you may notice that salt and pepper are completely absent from this list. In fact the spice and...

I had a sort of bachelorette party for a friend at my house. She brought in fancy toothpick snacks and the toothpicks had little bits of shiny plastic on the top. When I mentioned to the group to please compost what they could within reason some of them (like half???) started taking the plastic...

Thanks, but I have a TON of desserts already in my repertoire. :p Also stickers/toothpicks would be wasteful in our household/community. I'd get funny looks from my friends. XD

Haha, I actually DID do that this year, and they all kind of shrugged and were like "Yeah I don't have a lot of ideas for holiday stuff that meets that standard. Everything I eat for myself at the holidays is good tasting but not fancy. Maybe curry? Oh but that will spill..." As previously...

That sounds really good. Not what I was looking for here but thank you anyhow. :)

I'll get pictures ASAP. :) Not sure when I'm gonna make my test run because I'm leaving the country for a week shortly. Might not be til I get back.

Yeah, I think the wellington checks all of the right boxes for that reason. A bunch of nuts plus mushrooms and green beans which are moderate to high protein levels (for vegetables) should check that nutritional box. Which means it's a dish that - in a meal plan- could replace a slab of meat...

Well... That hasn't been my experience. These ones have expressed a preference and gratitude for it. All the veg*ns I keep close enough to me to attend (which I think between them and the lactose free is maybe 4-5 people, so not a lot but still like 1/5th of the people that show up) are excited...

I have, most of them seem like there's no recipes attached or when I crack them open there's dairy or eggs or something else I can't use. So I was hoping for someone with more direct experience with the suggested food. Maple walnut sweet potatoes sound great but not much like a savory protein...

Ultimately I'm really thinking on that pecan and mushroom wellington and what I could add to it that would be good. I really want it to have another layer in the middle for color and flair. I was thinking asparagus because that's a really nice veg, but I'm pondering green beans now cause those...

Unfortunately, PirateGirl, it really must be lactose free. :( I have at least two guests with big lactose intolerance and one is veg*n.

Eggs are generally OK since for a lot of people I know it's a moral/welfare issue with animals and with eggs they come from my own chickens they can literally see and hold and acknowledge they have a good life here. And my chickens stick around for up to several years so it's not like one year...

Well the recipe you posted literally just used ground beef with corn flakes. "2 lb ground beef or chuck (80% lean)" Maybe a mistake was made in the linking? :p But beef=/=veg so I'm a lil confused. It also has a bunch of dairy in it... I actually think eggplant just feels like eating slugs no...

Alas, eggplant is the devil in my household. :( We hate it. My friends like it though so I have considered just making it anyhow. But the meatloaf I'm fairly certain's not gonna go over well with the non-meaties. XD

Chickenmomma, those recipes are now super saved to my computer. The processed soy milk might be a problem but I could probably find a substitute. I think I probably have desserts covered. Most of them are pretty easy to pull off.
