Default Vegetarian guest at Thanksgiving

We are converging at MIL's house for T'giving this year. DD will be
traveling quite a ways and arriving at the last minute. (I suggested
that she go to *my* parents house instead, which is only 50 miles away
for her instead of 800+, and Wife nearly had a hissy fit. Anyway.) DD
has gone vegetarian but she still eats eggs and dairy.

I will get there early enough to maybe have some influence over the
menu but I won't be running the show because I'm not the host. What
should I offer to make so DD can actually eat a festive meal and not
just an austere vegetable plate (with marshmallows)? I have some ideas,

Plain roast sweet potatoes (in addition to the candied ones)
Stuffed acorn squash
Gravy made with veg. bouillon (there will probably be mashed potatoes)
Broccoli

Deviled eggs and and assorted cheese and crackers plate

Some kind of faux-meaty-ish mushroom thing? (no idea what I'm talking
about here)

Maybe I can make some huitlacoche tamales at home and bring them along
to be reheated.
