suggestions for daughters 18th party-she's vegan

Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 02:09:37 PM PDT

I am throwing her an 18th birhtday. She's vegan, I am not.  Making it vegetarian honors her, but there will be a lot of people who probably have never had or seen some of this food.Looks like we will have over sixty people. I have put together a menu that I think is interesting and won't scream WEIRD >>>NO MEAT.

Here's what I have so far. I need another dish

1 Felafel. Right now unless I can find someone who will sell me the uncooked mix and not the sandwich, I will make from the fantastic food mix. I can buy small pita from Trader Joes and make hummus.
2 Veggie chilli. I make with black beans and use tvp, mushrooms,onions
and peppers. Will serve with soy cheese and regualr cheese.
3 Pesto...including whole wheat with soy cheese for dd4 Big salad
4 Breads..I make great challah, will have pitas and last night I made a bread that was 2/3's unbleached white and 1 cup of chick pea flour. I added a litle cumin and it was yummy...
Desserts

I keep trying to make vegan desserts that she likes. Most are awful. But I finally found a whole wheat carrot cake recipe that is decent. I will also have pound cake and fruit...

But I need another dish????
