Olive oil mashed potatoes, I think NYT has the recipe.
Honey glazed roasted carrots.
Grilled asparagus with lemon zest vinaigrette
Quinoa, cranberry, walnut, kale salad

Not vegan but pumpkin ravioli in sage butter

Miyoko brand vegan butter is amazing. It is fantastic as a spread. Tastes like real butter. It can melt at room temp though.

I make oven baked stuffed mushrooms.
What do i stuff them with? it's own stems, green onions, parsley, basils, whatever greens I can cut into. Mix with a choice of cheese, just enough but do not overwhelm it with alot of cheese. And make it spicy. Small to mid size is best because you can just pop them in your mouth.

I prefer just sides to fake meat. Just do mash potatoes, Mac and cheese, stuffing, cranberry and a veggie so everyone will eat those.

None of that is vegan in our house. Pretending that you're a low maintenance vegan because you'll just eat the sides means insisting that the host remakes all of their actual sides with fake ingredients. I'd rather you ask for a personalized tofu log or something so that the rest of us can have a nice meal.

Oh my gd I want to eat your meal! That sounds amazing.

Do you have recipes for the rice mushroom casserole or the focaccia?

Sautee it all until soft with garlic and fresh herbs in a good olive oil, add some cooked wild rice and/or beluga lentils (made with veggie stock and a little white wine). Mix it and then put into a hollowed out smallish pumpkin. Cover with foil and bake for an hour until the pumpkin is cooked through. Remove foil for the last 10 minutes so the top gets a little crispy. Looks and smells amazing on the table and is a hearth entree, esp. if you include some lentils. Then I make sure to have at least a few sides that are vegan (usually green beans, some of the stuffing and some kind of bread or roll), and at least one dessert (usually pumpkin muffins). For appetizers I just make sure to include some crudités and crackers and buy a prepared vegan dip like hummus.

This sounds so incredibly delicious!

A tofu log sounds gross. I am vegetarian. I have zero issues making it vegetarian. You use veggie broth. You can easily use alternatives for vegan. Stuffing, cranberry sauce and a veggie are easy vegan. Or, do a baked potato or sweet potato as that is vegan. I don’t ask for anything as I always cook or bring food as people say it’s vegetarian but it is not. And, homemade cranberry sauce is so easy and better.

I'm debating between the Lentil Stew over Mashed Potatoes or Vegan Shepherd's Pie this year. Most of her recipes are winners.
