A question for my plant-based hosts

When you have company over and you're the plant-based one in the room, what are your go-to recipes that always seem to be a crowd pleaser, even with the omnivores at the table?

And here's the part I really want to dig into: do you cater to guests who eat meat and dairy, or do you keep the whole spread fully plant-based?

Personally, I have always chosen to make fully plant-based meals when I host. But something came up recently that got me thinking. A family member asked if I could order something non plant-based for them, and honestly, I didn't feel comfortable with it. My instinct was no. But then I found myself wondering, am I being too rigid? Should I be more open to this? I genuinely don't know.

I love showcasing plant-based food and showing people how delicious and satisfying it can be. That feels important to me. But I also don't want to make people feel unwelcome in my home.

So I'm bringing it to you all, because I think this is something a lot of us wrestle with.

What's your most reliable plant-based dish that wins over even the skeptics?
Do you keep everything plant-based when you host, or do you make accommodations?
Has a family member or guest ever put you in this position, and how did you handle it?

Drop your answers below. Really curious how you handle this..👇
