Re: vegetarionThe skewers or the grill basket would work great for the veggies. Also, do they like the soy options for meat replacement? Some do, some don't. You could do grilled pizza. I haven't done that but know PC people who have at shows. The guests can even choose their own toppings.I know "vegetarian" can seem a little daunting b/c your mind goes blank, but it's really anything minus the meat, unless they are vegan. So make sure cheese and such is okay. Smores??

Re: vegetarionHere is a recipe I threw together in luie of regular coleslaw. Reason: no mayo and they wanted something "different" from the old stand by mayo-less coleslaw. You could just use the coleslaw recipe and serve it in the collapsible bowl.
And work very closely with your host as she will be able to tell you exactly which type of vegetarian her guests are and the do's and don'ts. Always ask with this type of situation. I had to do a kosher party once and I decided not to rely on any outside info as it was all confusing. So I went right to my host. Made it so much easier and much more enjoyable even for me!
