My niece is a vegetarian. She is coming for a vist (from Minnesota to Arkansas - wow - with a friend (they are both 23 and it is her birthday). What meal would be a good one for her? She doesn't mind others eating meat, she just chooses not to. I don't think her friend is a vegetarian either.... but for her birthday I'd like to make it strictly that. Any fun suggestions? I'd really appreciate it!

9 pre cooked lasagne noodles
1 tbsp veg oil
1 ½ tsp crushed garlic
1 c chopped zucchini
1 c onion
1 c diced sweet red pepper
1 c sliced mushrooms
2 c tomato sauce
540 mL (19 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 ½ c 2% cottage cheese
½ c 2% milk
½ c grated Parmesan cheese
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
In large nonstick skillet, heat oil; sauté garlic, zucchini, onion, red pepper and mushrooms until softened, approximately 8 minutes.
Add tomatoes, sauce, basil and oregano; cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in food processor, combine cottage cheese, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside. To assemble, arrange 3 noodles in bottom of baking dish.

Anyone can make a mistake with an order. Do you think they intentionally gave you food that had meat in it and placed a hair in it so you would have a bad day? Take it back and ask for your money back. Then go eat at a real vegetarian restaurant and order what you really want to eat and forget about eating at places that served you the wrong food = )

Why not do a pasta dish like alfredo or a marina sauce or a baked pasta dish with lots of cheeses and sauce MINUS meat serve a nice salad, some crusty bread and if shes old enough a nice bottle of vino.

Vegitarian egg rolls. Vegitarian pizza. Spanish rice. Also many dishes at a chinese restaurant are vegan and I'm sure they get the question of what is and isn't all the time. You could probably have a party at a chinese restaurant or just get the buffet, ( less work ).
