Pasta with veggies. Mexican anything with black beans in place of meat, and either vegan cheese or no cheese. Bean salads. Go get some frozen stuff from Trader Joe's. And...shorten the visit if possible? lol. A week and a half is a really long time. How many colleges is she visiting?

Pasta with tomato sauce and veggies Bean salads Tofu veggie stir fry with rice Veggie salads Veggies and hummus Sandwiches with hummus and veggies (check the bread, most are vegan) Fruit desserts made with oil or vegan margarine instead of butter (Earth Balance is good)
Quinoa salad. I make it cold. add corn cut off the cob, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, raw asparagus, and greek olives. The dressing would be balsamic vinegar, lemon, olive oil, S&P
Grilled portobello mushrooms on a bun (read ingredients) and oven fries.
Veg Pizza. I like Annie's Eats Pizza dough. topping would be homemade sauce, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, spinach, peppers, etc.
Since it's family, I'd wait until she gets there and go to the grocery store together. Ask her to show you some of her favorite recipes, and cook together most nights.

This is what I would do. Also offer her the ability to cook you something. My cousin made some Vegan pancakes and they were divine.
How does one live without cheese? Meat, I understand. But cheese? Gah.
I really really love cheese.
Avocado can replace the creaminess of soft cheese in some cases. But *you* don't have to eat vegan for the duration of her visit, if that's what you're saying. No way man. I would not be a good host if I were in the throes of cheese withdrawal.
Many vegans are picky also (myself included lol). I personally wouldn't buy anything or plan any meals without discussing with her. Can you send an email asking what her fav foods are? I personally don't like when people fuss over trying to feed me. I prefer to handle all meals on my own, or be taken to a restaurant with lots of options. Salads are always safe. Amy's line has lots of vegan options, including vegan pizza and burritos. I'd stock up on fruits, veggies and nuts too.
I gotta say, I don't think there are many vegan-friendly restaurants in Montana. BUT even Target has some vegan options for frozen meals and the like. Amy's and my coworker just got a brand called Sweet Earth.
