Meatless?!?

Spin off from the grocery budget thread. Several have said they do meatless once a week. What do you fix? I wouldn't know what to fix other than "soup beans and taters" lol.

I really like the chipotle black break burgers. I can't remember the brand...Garden something. It comes in a green box.

Also, hummus when eaten with bread is a complete protein. Sometimes for lunch I'll have a couple of tortillas with hummus in them and veggies and whatnot.

Meatless baked spaghetti with zucchini, yellow squash, green olives, black olives and Serrano peppers.

I guess our problem is we don't eat that many different kinds of vegetables. We don't like onions, tomatoes, peppers, ect. Hubby also doesn't like pasta

Tofu stir fry (really.. Tofu is nothing to be afraid of), chili with lots of beans, waffles (I just found a high protein waffle mix at Costco), breakfast burritos (not meatless, but only uses a couple sliced sausages), veggie lasagna, veggie soup, bean burritos, bean or spinach enchiladas, etc.

Veggie burgers, pasta, soups, salads, pizza, burritos, quesadillas, chili, lasagna- we eat a lot of meals that traditionally have meat but just prefer the vegetarian versions.

We eat mostly vegan.  I make lots of soups and stews, and we eat a lot of Mexican and Indian dishes. 

This week we've got:

couscous with chickpeas, carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers

tortilla espanola with bread and salad

black bean tacos with rice

udon with tofu, kale, broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms

peanut stew with greens, cauliflower and chickpeas

and LO & I are on our own for a few nights, so I'll probably make pasta then as H won't touch the stuff

We actually only eat meat a few nights a week at most. It's not really on purpose, that's just how our menus are, I guess. We eat burritos, potato soup, pancakes/french toast, quiche, omelettes, pizza, spaghetti (sometimes we do put sausage in it).. can't think of any more right now. :P

You should google some Vegetarian or Vegan food blogs. There are TONS and they're usually quite amazing. I love Would Rather Gather. You can make almost anything meatless.

My fiancé and I are vegetarians and we use this recipe for quinoa patties a lot. Quinoa is a great source of protein. Last night I used the recipe to make "meatballs" and tossed them with some marinara over some pasta. Sometimes I use it to make veggie burgers. I take the patties with me to work to give me a boost if I get hungry during the day. I love them!
