Basically title. I'm easing into my 1 year anniverary and wanting to come up with something that I can make and take to the in-laws since I don't want to put them out too much for my sake. They all eat omni and I don't expect them to cater to me. Last year I did tofurkey sausages and they were ok and they might be a fallback if I don't come up with something else. I was gonna get a Field Roast roast but it's $19 at Nat Grocers and yeah, I'm not spending that kind of money on something that only I am gonna eat.
I'd like it to be close to traditional but am open for alternative suggestions since, well, I love food. Right now I am thinking about doing vegan mashed potatoes since that is easy mode and I can scale it down to 1 or 2 helpings.
But other than that idk. Welcome to all ideas, so what you got?
Disclaimer: literally zero allergies or food aversions so I am open to anything. TIA.
Will check back after church crap...
I'm planning on tackling seitan as a project next year sometime so it might make it to xmas 2024. I'm not sure anybody around me carried the Gardein Turk'y loaf but I did learn about those today and will keep an eye out. Gardein has bee pretty decent.
Seitan isn't incredibly intimidating to make, the last time I gave it a go I foil wrapped a loaf that went in the oven and it came out decent, it's just a little time consuming so I haven't bothered in a while. The only place I saw the Gardein loafs at was a Grocery Outlet, which usually has surprisingly affordable vegan stuff, can regularly get packages of veggie meats that I can't find anywhere else for like $2-3 each.
