HELP! I NEED SOME VEGAN RECIPES FOR AN ANNUAL FAMILY GATHERING
My grandson has recently adopted a vegan lifestyle, which is very new to me. At a family get together in October we have had a Halloween-themed meal for the last 13 years. Severed feet (meat loaf shaped as feet cut off at the ankle); sticky ribs (baby back ribs); volcano of doom (mashed potatoes shaped as a volcano with cheese and cream poured into the center to boil over when reheated in the oven), etc. I would like to keep this tradition up; we don't celebrate Thanksgiving (we are Canadian) as his father, my son died in October 14 years ago. This Halloween meal is a tradition that started since our son's death. No ghosts! I need some vegan Halloween recipes that we can all enjoy along with Matthew while keeping this tradition. Can you help, please?

WHAT TO EAT AFTER DENTAL SURGERY?
Any suggestions for what to eat after dental surgery? I could not get them to understand my aversion to sugary soda, Jello, and milkshakes.
