Oh right, I just make a little veggie gravy (using vegetable broth and seasonings)
I was a vegetarian, but not anymore, but kids still are. :)
I didn’t mention the “guests” are my college age daughter and one of her out of state friends who needs a place to land for the day. She’s been vegetarian for about 3 years now and I see her moving closer and closer to becoming vegan. She eats a very healthy diet and I have no problems with her choice, but family meal occasions are difficult. Most people don’t really understand the restrictions, and there’s no reason they should. One of my brothers in a good hearted effort to accommodate her always buys a bag of salad mix and thinks she’s good to go!
