What are other vegetarians having for their Christmas meal?!
Answers:
My choices:
Nut roast
Linda McCartney chicken style roast
Veggie toad in the hole (use an egg substitute)
Extra stuffing! My mum used to put stuffing in large mushrooms with Boursin/Roule cheese- you could probably do something like this with roast peppers instead
A lentil bake, which can be prepared well ahead of time, so that there's not so much going on in the kitchen at once
Years of being a vegetarian and cooking for meat eaters and veggies at the same time
I'm having an all vegan Christmas this year! Our food will include a Field Roast vegan "Turkey," biscuits, cranberries, sweet potato with vegan marshmellows (the ones without gelatin, which is not even vegetarian), vegan pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, vegan egg nog, stuffing, spinach salad, and some kind of soup.. Not sure which kind we'll get yet.
how about a dish with sietan it's the other white meat. Hopefully where you live there is at least one whole foods supermarket or wegmans market or trader joes or a vegetarian restaurant where you can buy something frozen or even ready made. Does she make macaroni and cheese? I usually use it as an excuse to gorge myself on mac n cheese during the holidays...but thats bad so scratch that. Good Luck.

a quinoa dish is good (kind of like rice but chewier and its a total protein) with some bellpeper, zuchini, and onion with some lemon juice and parsely. a good vegetable stew, pasta/lasagna, soup, etc. even if you are vegetarian you still have TONS of options for food. get creative and experiment around
A casserole of some sort? That could work well. It would be filling and hearty, so it would work well with the weather being so cold where you are.
There are a lot of vegetarian casserole recipes here;

First of all, you're not a carnivore. That implies you eat ONLY meat, and nothing else. You're an omnivore. Secondly, I'm sure she has everything covered. You'll survive without eating meat for one day.
hm. maybe ask your granddaughter what kind of vegetable she likes and make a casserole or just a side dish involving her favorite.
Not exactly traditional, but I'm making vegan pizza. I did enough cooking on Thanksgiving so I want Christmas to be fun.
Nut roast never fails to be a win for me (vegan).
My sister (vegitarian) has veggie sausages or quorn chicken pieces
Eat your meat, ITS THE HOLIDAYS, you'd rather complicate Christmas for everyone, then to just eat meat? this is one reason ill never be a vegetarian
