1. boca burgers. they're better than the real thing.
2. Fruits and Veggies... obviously. You can make many different things. My new favorite is putting Salad in A Pita bread pocket. YUMMY Tofu... If you haven't heard of it you need to research. It is good if cooked properly. Soy sauce is usually used for flavor. They have Vegan and vegetarian TV Suppers. (example Vegan Lasagna -i believe this is made with Tofu) Hope i helped you some :) good luck, And congrats on becoming a veg head.
3. I have loads, you can have pizza, chips, vegetarian lasagne is nice, cheese and macorroni, cheese toasties, vegetable samosa's, rice, pasta etc. Well, thats what i eat! Hope I helped!
4. Brown rice, old fashioned oatmeal. Beans (required for vegetarians)
5. start to explore Indian and Thai cooking. They have loads of menu ideas. Roasted eggplant with olive oil and garlic is one of my favs.
6. Look into Indian cooking. Approximately 2/3 of India's population is vegetarian and they make delicious veggie food. Here is a link to a you tube video about making Channa Masala one of my Favorit indian dishes. Its vegetarian and absolutely Delicious. Try it with nan bred. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDWfDUi108U You can also buy frozen samosas from an indian store and back em in your oven. They are delicious. Also some more links to other great indian veggie dishes. Dal Makhni- (black lentil Curry) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq9rHij2z20 Aloo Palak (potatoes and Spinach) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq8q_fGYhDA Vegetable Biryani (super tasty rice dish) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GridojtCXDE That was that for indian. Italian is my second fav veggie food. Try the following its my personal recpie. You will need. 6-8 cloves of garlic finely diced 1 jar marinara sauce 4 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp basil 2 tbsp oregano 2 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp kosher salt Italian shredded cheese blend 1 large red onion diced 1 Zucchini julienne cut 2 squash julienne cut 1 carrot diced 1 cup Parsley 1 regular size box of frozen spinach 1 regular size pack of barilla penne pasta Cook the pasta according to box direction and set aside. In a frying pan heat the olive oil and add the garlic. Fry garlic till it startes to turn golden brown. Then add all the veggies and saute for about 5 minutes. Then add the basil, oregno, paprica and salt and saute the veggies for about 2 minutes more steiring often. Then add the marinara sauce and keep sterring for about 3 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and set aside. Pre heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large size over proof bowl layer the pasta sauce and cheese. I like to make at least 2 layers...pasta sauce cheese....pasta sauce cheese..thats how i do it. Put the oven proof bowl in the oven for 30 mins or until the cheese browns and gets nice and crispy. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before you eat it. Enjoy! I also like to eat morning star patty veggie burgers. Spicy Black Bean Patty is my fav. Also i like to get plain cheese prozen pizza and out my own veggies on it and cook it using box directions. Google the following recpies also.
