Other quicker dinner ideas:
-Homemade pizza with canned dough, pizza sauce, cheese and veggies as toppings
-Tacos - use boca crumbles as meat
-Fajitas - saute some onions, bell peppers and portobellos or chikn strips
-Cheese rice-a-roni with chicken strips. Shockingly easy and delicious
-Portobello burgers
-Homemade sushi with avocado - easier than you think
-Veg sloppy joes - the natural brand just requires some tomato paste
-Baked sweet potatoes with black bean chili
-Veg chili dogs with veggie dogs, canned veggie chili

We love all kinds of sides:
-Salads (simple with mixed greens, lemon-garlic dressing, avocado, tomatoes)
-Roasted veggies like cauliflower, broccoli, squash/pumpkin, potatoes
-Glazed carrots

Hope this helps![/quote]
