[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re really going to try & shoulder all of this without help, I would stock a lot in my freezer & prep like mad.

1. Vegetarian chili (make ahead & freeze) + cornbread. Have shredded cheddar & sour cream as toppings. If anyone insists on meat, get a rotisserie chicken - slice it up and offer it as toppings too.

2. Mediterranean. Spanakopita (I make appetizer sized triangles with phyllo & freeze them), falafel (can she eat chickpea flour? Or is this an allergy?), store-bought hummus (Mil can skip), tabbouleh (I just use the boxed mix & add tons of parsley & cucumbers, tomatoes), baked fish with lemon & za’atar. For vegetarians, you can sear some halloumi.

3. Rice bowls. Cook rice ahead of time & freeze. Sauté diced seitan with frozen corn, onions, black beans. Season with cumin, coriander, and a pinch of smoked paprika/ancho pepper. While that’s cooking, roast wedges of sweet potato. Mix yogurt with lime and spread liberally into bottom of each bowl. Then add rice, then veg-seitan mix + sweet potatoes.

4. Indian. Freeze rice ahead of time. Freeze shredded greens & shredded ginger for quick palak paneer assembly. Many dals can be made ahead & frozen. Chutneys & condiments can also be frozen ahead. The gravy for many curries can be frozen ahead (just keep any dairy out & add it back in at the end of cook time). Naans & parathas can be frozen ahead.

5. Italian. Veg Lasagna (assemble & freeze ahead of time) Or, spaghetti & meatballs (make & freeze sauce ahead of time; use beyond meat for meatballs). Or, diy pasta bowls (I usually put out pesto, tomato sauce, roasted broccoli, black olives, shredded Parmesan, and chopped sausage/vegan sausage). Serve with green salad.

6. Spanish. Gazpacho (make 1 day ahead & refrigerate). Tapas: potato tortilla, manchego & tapenade on toast, baked aubergines and/or stuffed peppers. Shrimp in garlic oil, grilled veg with romesco sauce. Prep all ahead & assemble for dinner.

7. Grill. Veg burgers or fish, grilled corn, slaw.
