For me, I guess it would almost totally depend on what kinds of foods the people I'm entertaining like.    

Glad you have time to plan it out to be just the way you want it.   Fun!  In a little way, I do miss entertaining.  I don't think I could do it anymore, but I used to enjoy it.

house_cat.....I posted two more dessert recipes in Recipe Swap..under Summer Desserts.

While looking at the blogs I found this one https://community.qvc.com/t5/Blogs/Foodie-Files-Chicken-Fajita-Stuffed-Peppers/ba-p/3852380

You could do chicken for everyone and do veggies for the vegans and use vegan cheese or no cheese.  Vegans do get tired of salads and pasta.  Stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer would be great as well.

Since it is summer, fresh lemonade would go down a treat.  You could also puree some strawberries and make strawberry lemonade.  It would be great with lemonade pie.

I am a bit stumped by the rest of the meal for the vegans.  We don't get much of them down here in rural Georgia.

OK. I know of that one, but thought maybe there was a different one. Great recipes by the way.

@Tigriss

I have no problem with the vegan menu. My family was vegan for years, so I can adapt just about anything once I have a menu planned.

@house_cat That is great. Most of us would struggle with that task.

I just found this on my email of a blog.  It would be a great ending with coffee or tea. https://therecipecritic.com/2017/06/strawberry-cream-cheese-danishes/

Sorry, but I don't make it.  I buy Marie's in the vegetable section of the grocery store.  I did find this one for you.
