Any vegetarians out there?

I Need some new recipes. I eat black bean veggie burgers like...every day. I need some easy things I can eat for lunch/dinner.

DH and I love this Eggplant recipe. I promise it tastes better than it looks! Vegweb has been a really great resource for us. We decided to start doing vegetarian at home, it's healthier and cheaper for us. But if/when we go out or go to friends houses we'll still happily eat meat and we keep some pepperoni in the house for homemade pizza.

Not any more, but I was for seven years. One of my faves: Use a mandolin or veg peeler to ribbon cut 4 large zucchini lengthwise, set aside. Food process one bag of spinach and one cup of carrots until very finely minced. Put in a bowel, combine with one cup of ricotta, one cup shredded mozz and half a cup of parmesan cheese. Add in ground pepper to taste. Add in one beaten egg and incorporate well. Put some tomato sauce in bottom of baking dish. Layer the zucchini like you would lasagna noodles. Top with the cheese and veg mixture. Add more sauce. Repeat until all ingredients are used. Top with more shredded cheese if desired. Cook at 325 for 25 minutes or until the sides are bubbling over and the top cheese is completely melted. Enjoy! It is just as delish as regular lasagna and is all veg and cheese. Yum.

That bagel sounds so good.

You can make a lot of meat recipes vegetarian. Bean and rice enchiladas/burritos (switch it up using refried beans sometimes and black beans other times), spaghetti, Alfredo, veggie pizzas, spinach salad w a baked sweet potato, and veggie pot pies were my easy go-to'

I eat a lot of lentils and quinoa. You can Google recipes for all of these.

Butternut squash risotto in crockpot
Cranberry walnut quinoa (I add blue cheese)
Lentils, Swiss chard, feta
Sweet potato, kale, black beans
Lentil loaf
Eggplant barley risotto
Broccoli casserole
Eggplant involtini

I also roast veggies in olive oil and whatever spices I'm feeling at the moment. I love root veggies and do random mixtures all the time.

Crockpot 365 blog had some good veggie recipes.

For lunch, pita with hummus, tofu and spinach.

I also wanted to add soups, veggie, potato (with broccoli is awesome), tomato, and chili are all great options with grilled cheese. And you can make plain grilled cheese or make it fancy with different kinds of cheese, add tomatoes and spinach, etc.

I saw a corn salad I want to try. All of your ideas are great. I'll definitely be trying some new things.

We get veggie crumbles and make recipes such as tacos (soooo yum) and "meat sauce". Also, baked ziti, eggplant parm (I have a no fry quick recipe), roasted veggie fajitas, cauliflower buffalo "wings", stuffed shells, Mac and cheese, vegetarian sweet potato chili, sausage and peppers (with veggie sausage).....

We do a lot of soups using vegetable stock, chili, veggie lasagna and other pasta dishes, hummus with pita/olives/feta, rice and veggie bakes, pot pies, and quesadillas.  I often substitue portabellas for meat in things like burgers, enchiladas, and fajitas.

Well. Try GETTING a cookbook! ;-) For easy vegetarian, I like The student's Vegetarian Cookbook. Soooooo easy. I like the Clean Food books too, and Moosewood of course!

My aunt used to make some tasty dishes with falafel. Fafal patties go great in wraps.
