What are some good things to buy when you'll be feeding a vegetarian for just one week?

My daughter's 20 year old best friend is coming to visit and I am not sure what to buy for her. Can you help me out? She is being shy about requesting things.

    Get things that everyone will eat- lettuce, tomato, carrots, salad dressing, croutons, breakfast cereal, eggs, potatoes, frozen waffles, juice, bananas, bread, peanut butter, jelly, sliced cheese, pasta, tomato sauce, frozen pizza.......

    See? It's not complicated at all!

    Personally, I would not buy Quorn or soy products, as many vegetarians don't like them, and she may feel bad that you bought something just for her.

    When in doubt, ASK

    Why not wait until she arrives and take them to the store. Explain you were no certain what to buy and felt better if she would pick out her favorites. That would remove stress from both of you. You will not have to worry that you bought the wrong foods

    She will not have the problem of being made to refuse foods she doesn't like.

    Even in the veggie culture, they do not all eat/ like the same foods just because it happens to be vegetarian

    I agree with the posts about foods that anyone in your family can eat. She would appreciate fresh fruits and vegetables because she can put those together in a meal of her choice. Additionally, if you have a favorite family meal, try making it vegetarian one night she is there.

    Just a staple she may appreciate is soy or almond milk. My personal preference is the Almond Breeze brand for almond milk, but Silk is another option.

    Thanks for going the extra mile.

    Maybe the three of you could go food shopping together. Sounds like she does not want to be a problem. Pasta, rice, salad items might be a safe guess.

    Lots of fruits and veggies. Nuts, pasta, salad and peanut butter are good staples as well.

    Beans, nuts, seeds, fruit, veg. I don't know if she eats animal products, she might need soya milk instead of cow milk. If in doubt, buy frozen veggie burgers.

    Anything by quorn. But if your going to have sausages one day, buy vegetarian sausages

    Quick meals. Buy pot noodle, lasagne meals or pasta pots. Buy two so your daughter and her friend can both have one.

    Things like that are perfect
