The pizza for one idea is GREAT, I think, BUT, depending on how strict of a vegetarian nanny is, she might not eat store-bought pizza crusts (I've yet to find a store-bought crust that is vegetarian!) Also, many cheeses aren't "safe" for vegetarians. I know, we're a pain, huh? Veggie chili is always a hit, and it's easy to make. I also have a recipe for a spinach artichoke lasagna that is super easy and always a hit with both meat and non-meat eating guests. Mexican goes over well, too...you could do a make your own taco bar type thing, with vegetarian refried beans for nanny- there's also some wonderful taco meat flavored soy meat alternatives that even my meat loving husband enjoys. I'm full of vegetarian recipes, and I pretty much know what brands and types of cheeses are safe! <BR/>E-mail me if you'd like more info (kw2fm@virginia.edu).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916925864637414081.post-32767304360487224232009-01-07T05:27:00.000-08:002009-01-07T05:27:00.000-08:00Too many choices.

Pizza for "1" is almost too hard to resist and Lulu would love to be our executive chef for the evening. I'm also a such sucker for lasagna and Mim's recipe looks really, really tasty.Nap Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06576022596416170858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916925864637414081.post-55734004520297701152009-01-07T05:15:00.001-08:002009-01-07T05:15:00.001-08:00I have another idea for the get together. It's not...I have another idea for the get together. It's not fancy at all, but how about pizza? You could buy a bunch of personal size crusts, provide sauce and toppings, and people could either make their own or maybe they could "order" and Emily could prepare them. They would cook quickly and you could fit a few at a time in the oven. Here's the kicker: Pizzas for "1" - Get it? Since Brody's turning 1? I thought it was pretty creative and then your nanny could have whatever veggies she wanted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916925864637414081.post-1141964287273272462009-01-07T05:15:00.000-08:002009-01-07T05:15:00.000-08:00I think Italian is the way to go if everyone likes...I think Italian is the way to go if everyone likes it. Depending how much work you feel like doing, you could make baked ziti or a lasagna that has 1/4 without meat. This can be done as I make me a portion w/o cheese for myself all the time. Or if you'd like a ham, maybe have bean soup and a large salad also. Ooohh..., I also like veg. chilli and I have a good, not too spicy recipe if you're interested. It's simple and quick and you could even make a double batch and add meat to one if you'd like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916925864637414081.post-69111276604587130942009-01-06T14:49:00.000-08:002009-01-06T14:49:00.000-08:00Here's one that sounds pretty good:http://www.excl...Here's one that sounds pretty good:<BR/>http://www.exclusivelyfood.com.au/2006/06/roast-vegetable-lasagne-recipe.html<BR/><BR/>Or there's this one that I made up one day:<BR/>http://mimbles.blogspot.com/2007/09/tracking-and-lasagne-love.htmlmimbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907569024689875694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916925864637414081.post-82203478488066394742009-01-06T14:40:00.000-08:002009-01-06T14:40:00.000-08:00What about a vegetarian lasagne?What about a vegetarian lasagne?mimbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907569024689875694noreply@blogger.com
