I hope this doesn't sound snarky, but just ask.
As a vegetarian, I would much much rather be asked than have someone guess. When you guess, and get it wrong, everyone feels bad. You have tried hard to accommodate and spent money and time and effort, and you may still have done something she can't/won't be able to eat and feel bad. She feels bad because knowing of your efforts, she is still not able to be comfortable.
I say ask her or at least your brother, and release that stress from your time together, everyone wins!

It isn't a good day, unless it has spinach in it!! I have spinach probably 360 days a year in one form or another!

Just don't go, you will be happier....sorry very bad experiences

Penzey's is the place to go, they have store front's too

D'oh, going to have to go with Raspberry preserves -- Grape is too old school, Orange marmalade is too restrictive and never liked Strawberry.. ;)

Mine is a med to dark whole wheat or rye, just enough good olive oil to keep the bread from burning, but still browning up nicely. Swiss on one side, Provolone on the other. On the provolone side either dijon or hot brown mustard (depends on the day). On the mustard goes either a bit of cayenne (with the hot brown) or Penzey's Herbes de Provence (dijon). Then just before folding the sandwich together add some fresh spinach (not cooked at all). Cover for a minute or so to soften the spinach and let the cheese complete it's melt. Excellent.

Following the Peanut Butter sandwich theme, my favorite is PB and a good portion of French's Mustard on a medium/dark oatmeal or wheat bread, just the right combo of sweet and tart

Mighty Leaf Tea is a great site, and great fresh tea. They have both loose and quality bagged, as well as accessories.

Our Family's favorite is Green Tomato Tacos!!
1 lbs Green Tomatoes,2 mild to Hot Peppers (banana peppers),1 medium onion, clove garlic, 4 T vegetable oil,2 cups of corn, 2 lbs firm frozen tofu,2 T tamari (soy sauce), 1T Worcestershire sauce,1T each Cilantro, Cumin, Chili powder, Black pepper, Parsley,
Salt to taste

In a large skillet place quartered green tomatoes (add a few tomatillos too) and barely cover with water, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. This will leave the tomatoes soft but still relatively in tact, remove to a bowl leaving them in the water. While tomatoes are cooking, thaw the tofu, and cut into about ½ inch cubes. After taking the tomatoes out of the skillet, heat the oil in the skillet. Add the tofu to the oil, and begin to brown it. Add Tamari, Worcestershire, onion and garlic. Keep stirring and as the tofu gets cooked, add Cilantro, Parsley, and peppers, if while cooking, the skillet starts to get too dry add water from the tomatoes. Add corn, and other seasonings and heat until corn is cooked. Chop the cooked green tomatoes and add to skillet and most of the water (when you get all done the filling needs to be moist, but not dripping), leave on low heat to bring the filling to the desired moisture level (covering skillet if necessary). Fry Corn Tortillas and fold to taco shape (or use pre-formed)
Serve shell with ample amount of Green Tomato filling, topped with Lettuce and Cheese and your favorite Sauce/Salsas and Sour cream
