Just bring a homemade dish to the dinner parties that you know is "safe" for you to eat.

(extra virgin olive oil) If so try grilling some portobello mushrooms, coating it with little bit of EVOO, and a dash of salt and some minced garlic. Stuff it wil grilled eggplants, or grilled bell peppers, or tofu... and then top it off with dried cranberries... then bake for about 15 min... it's awesome! < a new meal I just tried the other day! Another thing you can try is grill some pineapple chunks, sweet potatoes (cut into squares), and a jicama (sliced into little lines). then top with a little honey (if you are a vegan that eats honey) or substitute honey with brown sugar, then sprinkle some hot peppers... It's a hot fruity salad! Can you eat anything with E.V.O.O.?
