Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 What do you like to serve to meat-eating guests? What fills them up and doesn't make them squirm about eating veggie? I often use a mushroom pie (I'm pretty sure I've posted it before), but 1) I don't have all the ingredients and I'm serving guests before I go to the store again, and 2) some ppl won't touch mushrooms and green peppers, even if they're vegetarians. So, aside from my other favorite (Chili, but then ppl complain about eating beans, iykwim?), any suggestions for a casual gathering with children?

Some quick suggestions: quesadillas: tortillas, cheese, and fillings of your desire. If you're interested, I have good recipes for spicy spinach-artichoke filling, and black bean and goat cheese. (And make some plain ones for the kids.) quiches: If you use a store-bought crust (or make a crustless quiche), these are really quick. pizza/calzones " breakfast for dinner " fettucine alfredo/homemade mac 'n cheese pad thai (w/ tofu or scrambled egg) mediterranean mezze (selection of mediterranean appetizers--hummus, baba ganouj, taboulleh, fatoush, etc. veggie grape leaves if you have time.) And a lot more (but my kids are fighting...) Let me know if you want specific recipes! Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salad and garlic bread are musts! Then either make lasagna, baked ziti or stuffed shells. Or you could do eggplant parm with pasta on the side.

Have a bunch of toppings and each person can say what they want in theirs or on top. Most kids will want it plain of course. Then just bake for 20 minutes and done.
