Has anyone got any ideas for vegetarian recipes for Christmas? This is my first year having guests over for a Christmas lunch. My husband isn't a vegetarian (I am working on him though : ) and I want to impress what with vegetables and maybe something special and show them that vegetarian isn't boring.

How about a stuffed butternut squash, or a seitan roast, or tofu nuggets. Are you having a traditional sit down meal or appetizers?

Sure I have a recipe and know of a website which provides many Christmas recipes for a vegetarian. Their categories include: holiday dinner, appetizer and salad, holiday sweets and cookie exchange. Here is a recipe from the holiday dinner section: Vegetarian Cornbread Dressing Ingredients: 2 cans of vegetable broth 1 med onion (grated) 2 pkgs Korn Kits or other cornbread mix 5 slices white bread (dehydrated or slightly toasted) 2 eggs or equivalent egg replacer 1 teaspoon salt or salt substitute 1 1/2 teaspoon white pepper 2 tablespoons Poultry seasoning 1/2 teaspoon of celery seed Directions: Mix crumbled cornbread and white bread with grated onion, eggs and seasonings. Place mixture in 9 x 13 casserole dish. Pour cans of broth over mixture and bake 30-45 minutes in a 350 degree oven until top is lightly brown. Serve with cranberry sauce for the perfect sweet/salty taste-bud treat. Source: http://members.tripod.com/vegholiday/dinner.html
