[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm throwing a vegetarian dinner party this weekend.  All middle aged women, about half of whom are vegetarian.  No one will mind the lack of meat.

Trying to cook mostly seasonally.  Tell me what you think of my menu so far?

--Butternut squash soup either in sourdough bread bowls or with sourdough bread
(ALTERNATIVE: could be homemade pasta with butternut squash sauce)
--Veggie fritters (probably something seasonal like root veggies--will see what comes in the farm share box)
--Cannellini bean and feta fritters
--Dipping/drizzling sauces for fritters (horseradish dill, some kind of fruit/miso/ginger)
--Creamed greens
--Some kind of fruit salad?  Maybe apple/orange/fennel to stay seasonal? Really lacking inspiration here, but need something to balance all the heavy/creamy/carby foods above.

Also need to figure out dessert.  Maybe one of these:
--creme brulee
--fruit tart
--chocolate fondue

(And if you happen to find yourself a guest at this dinner party, let's just keep it our secret that we were both reading/posting on DCUM during the work day?)

Sounds good. Some more choices JIC.  
As a middle aged vegetraian woman - I try to think what my middle aged GI system can tolerate!

- butternut soup with crotons (people can control if they want carb or not unlike the bread bowl). 
- zuccini noodles/pasta (zoodles?) with a nice store bought sauce
- cauliflower steaks or roasted veggies drizzled with olive oil  
- fried banana fritters or one of your fritters with the sauce
- salad - spinach salad with beet, walnuts, apples and feta

Dessert -
All your choices sounded good.
