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...

A seitan loaf is usually relatively easy to make, but there's seemingly thousands of different recipes so you may want to try making one before just to make sure it'll turn out alright. I'm not sure if they continue selling them past Thanksgiving but I had a Gardein turk'y loaf that was really good and has wild rice/cranberries in the middle.

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.
