pft... eggs aren't vegetarian talk2hand rofl
If you're just wanting snacks, that's not going to fill you very much {nor be very healthy... yes, vegetarians can get fat too. Ask my spouse sweatdrop }
If you're having a typical holiday feast, there isn't much different you need to eat. Mashed potatoes are still fine... you could volunteer to make country gravy instead of having brown gravy, or even go as far as to make your own vegetarian brown gravy, but country gravy is a lot easier and less harsh on the stomach {onions and garlic can be hard on the system if you have too much}. And of course there's still the vegetables and bread. Pepperidge Farm also makes a couple of vegetarian stuffing mixes... my family always made that separate from the meat because putting it inside seemed disgusting.
For snacks, if you still eat eggs, then you're probably not limited at all. The problem a lot of vegetarians have with snack foods is eggs... meat is usually only a problem in entrees. The only snack on the top of my head that involves some kind of meat {besides the obvious beef jerky} is chex mix... and that's only when it's made with Worcestershire sauce {most Worcestershire sauce has anchovies}.
Pie might be a problem for you if your family uses Pillsbury's pre-made crusts since those use lard last I knew. I haven't really searched for a "safe" pre-made crust, but making your own isn't too difficult. I've used this recipe before and it came out rather well... of course I also added sugar, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon because I think pie crust should be sweet sweatdrop ... my dad thought it was the best pie crust he had ever tasted.

Every now and then, a simple vegetarian meal hits the spot for me. I make up a small batch of cavitappi pasta..
In a sautee pan, I added olive oil, sundried tomatoes, onions, colored peppers, artichokes, green/black olives, spinach.. and cook until aldente.... then at the end of cooking, I add drained garbanzo beans to heat them up. Add the pasta to the veggie/bean mix... OHHHHH and you cant forget the fresh garlic, italian seasoning, oregano and basil..... YUM!
I make a homemade garlic spread for garlic bread using the non-dairy "Smart Balance".. fresh garlic, powdered garlic, chives and parsley... mix together in the container, and VOILA, instant garlic spread to use whenever you need it. Spread on bread, toast in the oven...
I have a Dairy Allergy so improvising can be a challenge.. but Smart Balance really makes things easier to do... AND it tastes fantastic!
