So many delicious recipes here. If you are interested in stuffed red peppers, this is my absolute favorite. It is time consuming to prepare and I always used real cheese (you could try substitute), but both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests always loved this.

This looks really good.
I wonder about the dressing, is this enough to be delicious?:

lemon juice with the tahini, the rest of the garlic and enough water to make a dressing.

DP- I make a pretty similar dressing to top veggie/grain bowls, but add salt, pepper, and a bit of maple syrup.

Thanks! I was thinking it might need a little sweetness and salt, pepper, maybe even an herb like thyme would help

My family loves these.

We also make a king oyster mushroom pulled pork.

Only one family member is vegetarian. However, the others are all happy with these two dishes.

I made this a couple years ago and it was really good- although I seem to recall that the rice took longer to cook than estimated by the recipe.

My vegetarians love a butternut squash gnocchi with sage brown butter sauce and mushrooms.

They also loved NYT butternut squash and Gruyère tart: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020507-butternut-squash-and-fondue-pie-with-pickled-red-chiles?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share

Oh this is a good possibility! I'd love to add protein.

The NYT gratin sounds excellent too, but it would be too many swaps to avoid the dairy.

Mushroom Stroganoff. Full fat coconut milk takes the place of sour cream.

You could make a stuffed acorn squash. Use traditional stuffing and seasonings. Add mushrooms and spinach, or whatever you like to the stuffing.

I am the fried mushroom poster. Someone brought it to our house last year and it was wonderful! But I think it would be hard to make without dairy.

I forgot, we also had a stuffing with vegan sausage, which was a nice addition. Same person brought that.

I would do something fancy looking. Stuffed bell peppers or tomatoes?
