Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I would like to have a vegetarian graduation party for my son and need ideas for cheap yummy dishes that my meat eating extended family would enjoy. This is what I have planned so far not much yet. I would love to have things like Mac N Cheese but I don't know how to keep them warm. The party is in the summer evening.

You can buy really cheap chafers at party stores; they hold aluminum pans and keep them warm using Sterno. You could make vegetarian lasagna; no one would even notice the meat isn't there.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Try the Cuban Cigars. They are wonderful and fun to eat, too.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I have served the avocado pie at a few parties and took to a graduation party. Very big hit.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 You could buy the chafing dishes at most party stores they are fairly inexpensive and the you can have a mac & cheese, a veggie lasagna, a pasta w/oil and garlic or a marinara sauce. How about a tomato, mozzarella salad. Veggies and dip Pasta salad, bean salad, You could make refried beans and keep them warm in a slow cooker. Gayle **************Planning your summer road trip?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 What about going with the nachos and salsa idea and doing a taco/fajitas bar? YOu can pre chop tomatoes and lettuce, pregrill peppers and onions, put out rice,cheese, sour cream, guacamole, soft taco wraps, beans, and you could do textured veg protein with taco seasoning. We did this for a party last summer (though my husband included meat) and it was a big hit for vegetarians and carnivores alike because everyone could make their own and not have to take anything they didn't like. , " mrswalp29 " <mrswalp29 wrote: > > I would like to have a vegetarian graduation party for my son and need > ideas for cheap yummy dishes that my meat eating extended family would > enjoy.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 You can also try the vegeratian " Steak strips " and make " Hot roast beef sandwiches " ...they are really great...toss on some green peppers and or some " cheese " for Philly sandwiches. My family loves those, even my dad the carny of the family. Hope that helps Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
