My sister today told me she is now gluten- & dairy-free and I have no idea what to make. (I'm vegetarian.) Suggestions that don't include beans?

At such short notice, it's hard to make a totally new menu.
You could make most of your traditional thanksgiving menu with a few changes...
* use olive or other other, meat fat, coconut oil etc instead of butter.
* omit cheeses & creams
* make a rice-based stuffing or side dish instead of bread-stuffing
Dessert will be more difficult. Ideas:
* good dark chocolates
fruit compote (with coconut yogurt or regular cream on the side for those or can or want to eat it)
* chocolate mousse that uses avocado or olive oil instead of cream or egg
* dried fruit nut salad...from Israel, Spain or Italy. Doesn't sound like much, but has liqueur to bind it all together and tastes lovely.
* look for kosher dessert recipes that are called parve (means neutral, neither meat nor milk). Have lots of non-dairy options. Good recipes available from Jamie Geller, Tori Avey, Noreen Gilletz, Joan Nathan.

Woops.
Forgot you're vegetarian.
Just omit the meat-fat suggestion.
