[quote=Anonymous]Looking forward to more ideas as our DS just decided to go vegetarian and I"m pretty much one.

You need to think in terms of side dishes with protein with a side meat dish for your meat eaters.

Also buy yourself a pressure cooker to quickly cook beans and brown rice.

Here are a few to feed the whole family:  cook a box of cous cous (flavored is best), drain a can of garbanzos, throw in some chopped tomatoes, crumbled feta, chopped kalamata olives and toasted pine nuts, basil and or parsley. You can squeeze some lemon juice over it too.

Black bean/corn salad. Open and rinse a can of black beans and a can of unsalted corn, toss in chopped carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, whatever you have in your veggie drawer, onions, cilantro. Make a vinigarette of oil, fresh lime juice, cumin (a lot) and some sea salt. Toss in and stir.

Heat a can of pinto beans with a can of chopped tomatoes with jalapenos, sprinkle cumin, cinnamon, chili powder, dash of red sauce.  Add to a bowl of brown rice, grate cheese on top, add sour cream, sliced avocados and a squeeze of fresh lime and chopped cilantro - super yummy.

Buy some chia seeds and toss into yogurt, onto salads etc for added oils and protein.

Use quinoa instead of rice for more protein in any dish. Cook it and throw in nuts and chopped cranberries and a dash of cinnamon.

If you eat eggs, make a veggie quiche every Sunday and you have 6 lunches if you add a salad. Buy prewashed lettuce at Costco etc so you can spin and eat without having to cut it up.

Buy frozen stir fry veggies, tofu fresh garlic and fresh ginger, soy, brown sugar, peanut butter and add to high protein spagetti style pasta (Barilla in the yellow box).

That's all I can think of right now.[/quote]
