What Should I Make?

I’m planning a meal for six people. I’ve got starters planned and the main meal for four of us. But I need ideas for dessert and part of the other two main meals, before this Sunday. Two of my guests are vegetarian and I had planned stuffed pork roast with streaky bacon, boiled potatoes and vegetables. What vegetarian options go well with boiled potatoes and vegetables? And it would really help if I had ideas for dessert, but nothing too fancy. I don’t have enough cookery skills for cake baking, etcetera. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi everyone. I just want to let you all know that my family came round and loved my cooking! For starters, I made chicken soup for 2, vegetable soup for 2 and prawn cocktail for 4. For the main course I made both vegetable patties (for my vegetarian guests) and stuffed pork with bacon. This all went with boiled potatoes, vegetables and gravy (vegetarian AND non-vegetarian). Although almost everyone tried the patties too, because they kept saying they were delicious! Lastly, for dessert, I made apple crisp (which was more of a crumble, to be honest!) with cinnamon. I served it with both ice-cream and cream (the squirting kind!). My niece and nephew (who are normally very picky over their food) decided to give me a ten out of ten, so I’m guessing they’ll want me to cook for them all the time now! I just want to say a big thank you to everyone for giving me ideas. I’ll know to come here when I need more help! Thanks again. =o)

Answer #2

Perhaps google a legume dish (beans) like blackeyed peas or I know a lentil soup http://recipes.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Lentil_Soup_Recipe_1

As for dessert try a peach cobbler ( you can used canned peaches or apricots made with a simple syrup and then a sweet biscuit dough dabbed on top and bake) with vanilla ice cream or this one sounds good http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Peach-Cobbler-102277

Or sorbet (because it is non dairy–I think) with fruit

Or baked apples with vanilla ice cream http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Apples/Detail.aspx

Answer #3

Why not try some tasty German desserts for a change.

Baked apples, apple and bread pudding, or try the most easiest cake recipe in the world. Versunkener Apfelkuechen.

Answer #4

I’ve thought about what I’m going to do. I’m going to try making vegetable patties with the boiled potatoes and vegetables for my vegetarian guests. Plus I found a nice apple and cinnamon crisp recipe, thanks to your help. I’ll let you all know how the meal went after Sunday. =o)

Answer #5

For dessert I suggest Apple Crisp - it’s simple to make and delicious.

Answer #6

OMG! Stephanie987 read my mind! I was reading the question and was fully prepared to say “Apple Crisp!” Haha.
