I have been invited last minute to a dinner party tonight and I will be the only vegetarian. There probably won't be anything there that I can eat and I don't want to come off as being rude for not eating what they prepared. Does anyone have any ideas for something that I can bring that we all can share?

Ambrosia
3 bananas
3 apples
4 oranges or 2 oranges and 3 tangerines.
½ cup coconut
About 1/4 cup pecan pieces (optional)
All you have to do is peel and slice the apples and bananas. Section oranges stir in the coconut and pecans and you have a delicious Thanksgiving favorite.
Green Beans with almonds.
Buy a bag or two of frozen fancy cut green beans and prepare normally. Sauté about a half cup of slithered almonds in a little butter or whatever butter substitute you prefer and add to green beans. Makes a very nice side dish.
Stewed apples would be simple and delicious. Just peel and slice apples simmer on medium with a little water, cinnamon and brown sugar and raisins and a bit of butter or substitute if you don’t use butter. You can also add a bit of nutmeg.

Fairly easy, quick and you probably have most the items in your pantry.
Make mashed potatoes, add two cloves of garlic per pound of potatoes to the cooking water. Mash the spuds using veggie broth and Earthbalance or whatever butter sub you like (Olive oil works well with red potatoes).
Make a vegan gravy using your veggie broth, cornstarch to thicken and the secret to get the meateaters to *love* your gravy is to add a dash of bourbon to the boiling stock before thickening! The alcohol boils off BTW. My mother-in-law hated it that folks would go for my gravy over hers

Baked sweet potatoes - Try serving with a dollop of a creamy blend of tofu or soy margarine, brown sugar and Cinnamon. A meal in itself!!

yummy roasted veggies or twice baked potatoes with soy cheese or curried pumpkin soup or carrots with lemon and dill. The list is endless, just cook your favorite and dig in

I know this going to sound sarcastic, but it's not meant to be. Vegetables!
Take something festive that you can eat and others will be happy to share.

Perhaps some pasta salad would be good.
