[quote=Anonymous]Coconut Thai Curry poster with chickpeas - do you mind sharing your "recipe" for that?

I grew up vegetarian for a few years in my youth - our whole family was thanks to mom.  Now that our own 2 kids became vegetarians 2 years ago, I've had to spend a fair amount of time finding dishes that everyone likes. A few weeks ago I finally typed up a list to help with cooking planning. I work a lot and from home so this has helped tremendously.

I recommend All Recipes as a great online source.  There are many side "casserole" and egg type dishes there that make great main courses and are pretty easy to make.

My basic categories are:

various pasta dishes (tomato, alfredo, lemon/veggies sauces),

soups/chili (tortellini, veggie, lentil, bean etc),

Mexican/southwest dishes (taco bar, echilada and layered "taco" type casseroles (using chili beans and crumbles)

Asian stir frys and curries using Garbanzos, tofu etc

Sturdy side salads - French lentils, Mex corn bean salad, various quinoa, Greek pasta, Italian pasta and pesto salads etc - also these make great leftover lunches

Sandwiches - grilled veggie and cheese, hummos or pesto/cream cheese ciabatta with fresh veggies like cucs, peppers, lettuce, basil etc.

Egg/potato baked dishes - think butternut squash and blue cheese topped with panko bread crumbs, broccoli with potatoes and dill havarti.  See All Recipes.

Fruit cobblers and crisps for desserts or fruit smoothies for breakfast w/ Greek yogurt.

Big green salads with beans, sunflower seeds etc.

Hope this helps.  There are also veggie threads with recipes here on DCUM. [/quote]
