Actually, since they patties themselves are sealed individually, they
actually keep surprisingly well.

Random things I've made camping that are good and vegetarian (and can
be vegan as well with some effort):

Pancakes of all varieties
Macaroni and cheese (use soy milk since you can get it in aseptic
packages)
Bruschetta (toast over the propane stove)
Burritos (plenty of opportunity here, including breakfast burritos if
she eats eggs. Portabellos. Dehydrated refried beans)
Mushroom soup (I've made a really good one using veggie broth cubes,
dried mushrooms, and soy milk)
Hobo pies
Hummus, tabouleh, and pitas
Vegetarian tater tot hotdish
Red beans and rice (although this takes a while to really simmer down)
Akara (black-eyed pea fritters)

For the advanced cook, you can actually do a good biscuits and gravy:
use dried TVP or morningstar flour and soy milk for the gravy (to get good
results you need to be able to make a good non-veggies biscuits and
gravy to get the texture right), and you can make or reheat biscuits on the
stove (although I recommend using a dutch oven if that's a possibility)

Any campfire opportunities? If so, veggie kabobs are quite good.
