Crock pot: lentil soup, bean and tvp chili, pasta salad, potato salad, rice salad
I also make a dish that they beg me to bring that the first time I shared it they thought I was Sweet potatoes cubed and peeled Potatoes cubed and peeled Carrots chunked Spinach (you can use any green but I prefer spinach ) Saute and steam until all are soft and cooked and then add the sauce: Bragg's Yellow mustard Garlic Nutritional yeast I call it Cheesy Yams and Greens

Re: what do you bring for chuch lunches?
Fellowship meals are meant to be shared. It's hard when you can't share the food.
My congregation's meals are always 'kosher dairy' which means lacto-ovo vegetarian with the occasional platter of smoked salmon. About 1/3 of the congregation is currently eating raw vegan, so we would gobble up your fruit and veggie tray with much joy. Things that come to lunch (I assume since you mentioned avoiding dairy/eggs that you are looking for only vegan stuff): soups - lentil, minestrone, potato twice baked potatoes pasta with sauce (keep warm in a crock pot) pasta salad tabouli, hummus and the like (though if they don't eat a fruit tray they may not want to touch tabouli, either ) bean and corn salad (one can each drained and rinsed of black beans, kidney beans, garbanzos, corn + one purple onion and one bell pepper diced, mixed in a balsalmic/mustard vinagrette) last week someone brought several packages of this: http://www.kelloggs.com/cgi-bin/bran...970&company=23 covered in bottled BBQ sauce and kept warn in a crock pot. It was a HUGE hit (though caused a bit of confusion...."hey! who brought the meat?" "it's fake meat" "oh! well I guess that's ok" ) vegan chocolate cake (see punkies thread below) just plain veggies - a package of frozen vegetables warmed in a dish As far as avoiding stuff.... I ask A LOT of questions. I don't eat soy/dairy/eggs so there are still lots of things that folks bring that I don't eat. I look at something and ask who made it and then ask the individual if they put any of the above it it..... They are a pretty knowledgeable bunch, and I rarely have problems, but yeah, it does take some work and I often go through the line 'last'. |

Re: what do you bring for chuch lunches?
I hate church potlucks. It seems that it should be a time of worship and fellowship, but the food is just always horribly unhealthy
Baked beans with veggie dogs is good, especially if you are inside and you can bring it in the crockpot. I don't normally like veggie dogs, but I do like them in chili. So you could bring a big casserole of chili with veggie dogs in it, so your kids could have chili dogs.

Re: what do you bring for chuch lunches?
pasta salad (ww pasta, lotsa veggies and italian dressing)
black bean salsa (black beans, corn, tomatoes, jalapano, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, red onion, avcado) either of those dishes are well accepted and if there isn't anything else I can eat, I don't leave terribly hungry (I'm not vegan, but I am dairy and soy free)
