One of my Christmas guests is vegetarian. Last year I made her a frozen veggie lasagna and she had sides. Any suggestions for a small entree I could make that's better than frozen stuff? She's not vegan but I don't think she eats any seafood either.
Eggplant parmesan is one of my favorites A pot of lentils or beans I make sweet potato "boats" by hollowing them out and filling with spinach, corn, black beans and cheese Stuff with eggs can be hearty - quiche, omelette, etc. Curry or stir fry is easy, just a variety of veggies, tofu, and sauce Tofu can also be breaded and fried or baked like chicken fingers for an entree
I make an excellent vegetarian chill. I've done it a few times for vegan or vegetarian guests and its always been a hit. You can also make it in advance so all the prep is completed ahead of time.
