Any ideas for a tasty vegetarian Valentine's day meal?!

Mama's Mock Meatloaf
Better than what mom used to make. Serve it with ketchup, mashed potatoes, and gravy.

1 medium onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced (optional)
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 packages beef–flavor Gimme Lean Beef
1/4 cup oatmeal, dry
2 slices white bread, crumbled
3 Tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. pepper

Coating ingredients:
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

? Sauté the onion and green pepper in the oil over medium heat until soft. Combine in a bowl with the ground beef alternative, oatmeal, bread, ketchup, garlic salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix with a spoon or your hands.
? Press the mixture into an oiled loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
? Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the coating and set aside.
? Remove the loaf from the oven and turn it out onto a baking sheet. Spread the coating over the entire loaf. Cook, uncovered, for another 15 minutes.

Creamy Chive Mashed Potatoes
Rich mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish for most meals.

5 large potatoes, diced
1 cup liquid nondairy creamer (try Silk brand)
2 Tbsp. margarine
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

? Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes.
? Drain the potatoes, place in a bowl with the remaining ingredients, and mix until smooth.
? Serve hot
Brown Gravy
Tired of plain potatoes? Whip up a batch of this creamy gravy, and serve it with your mashed potatoes and biscuits.

2 Tbsp. (1/4 stick) margarine
1 medium-sized onion, diced
2 Tbsp. unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp. garlic salt
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 cups water or vegetable broth
1 tsp. yeast extract
1-2 Tbsp. soy sauce or tamari
Pepper, to taste

? Heat the margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
? Sauté the onion for a few minutes, then add the flour and garlic salt and sauté for another 8 to 9 minutes.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the water or broth.
Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the onion mixture, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
? Strain the gravy into a separate saucepan and add the yeast extract, soy sauce or tamari, and pepper. Simmer for another minute or 2, stirring constantly. Keep warm.

Make a nice spinach lasagna or eggplant parmagiana with a green salad. Paired with a proper wine would be perfect.

Take the meat of one fresh vegetarian and trim off the excess fat. Marinate the meat in a mixture of lemon zest, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar and oregano for 2 to 24 hours ...

C'mon, you knew that was coming.

For real, try a broccoli and onion quiche.
