What are some unique vegetarian recipe ideas for repeat guests at my show?

[ErinPC]

I have a show this weekend, and the host has requested vegetarian recipes (quite a few of her guests are vegetarian). This normally wouldn't be a problem - I'd do a Spinach/Art. ring or dip, garlic bites, or a skillet cake. My issue is that about 4-5 of these guests have been to at least 3 shows of mine! They've already had the ring, the dip, garlic bites, skillet cake - and more! I was thinking about doing the spinach/art. dip again (and maybe even ask them to help for some steps?). I'd also like to do a fruit pizza - just as something different. Do you guys have any ideas? Any really awesome vegetarian recipes that you'd recommend? I'd really appreciate it! -- Erin

How about modifying the Family Sized Burrito. You could add Spanish Rice and leave out the chicken. Or do Focaccia Bread, Greek Isles Pastry, or the new Gnocchi recipe!

There is the Garden Ranch Pizza or Mandarin Pasta Salad (leave out the chicken), there really are a lot of recipes that you can modify for vegitarians.

The Antipasta Pizza in the new Season's Best Cookbook is very good. I made it for my Bunco group last week and they loved it. I'd highly recommend it. For those of you who don't want a vegetarian version, add chopped up hard salami to the marinated mixture.

You could make the Savory Mini Quiches from All the Best and leave out the bacon.

Does it have to be a main dish. The profiterole puffs would be a good option.

Hi Erin,Thank you for reaching out for some vegetarian recipe ideas! I completely understand your predicament with having repeat guests and wanting to offer them something new and exciting. Here are a few suggestions that I think would be a hit at your show this weekend:1. Veggie Quesadillas - These are always a crowd-pleaser and can easily be customized with different vegetables and cheeses to fit different preferences. Plus, they are quick and easy to make in our skillets!2. Caprese Salad Skewers - These are a fun and colorful appetizer that can be made with fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil. You can also add a balsamic glaze for extra flavor.3. Cauliflower Buffalo Bites - These are a healthier twist on traditional buffalo wings and can be made in our air fryer for a crispy texture. Plus, they can be served with a variety of dipping sauces.4. Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms - These make for a hearty and delicious main course option for vegetarian guests. You can stuff them with a variety of fillings such as quinoa, veggies, and cheese.5. Grilled Veggie Flatbread - This is a great option for a light and flavorful meal. You can use our grill pan to cook the veggies and assemble the flatbread with your choice of toppings.I hope these ideas help and inspire you for your show this weekend. Don't be afraid to get creative and have fun with the recipes. Your vegetarian guests will appreciate the effort and variety. Happy cooking!Best,
