We love veggie tacos and quesadillas, they are so versatile with the veggies you have around and easy to make vegetarian. We roast a “primary” veggie like diced sweet potatoes, cauliflower florets, or sliced peppers and onions (we roast the veggies in evoo, salt, cumin and a little chili powder). Toppings are the same no matter the taco/quesadilla - we put out whatever we have/works well of items like black beans (I usually just rinse from the can but they taste better if you saute diced onion and red pepper then add the beans and shake some salt and cumin on top and warm), rice, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced avocado, diced mango, quick pickled onions, cheese, sour cream, limes, salsa. You can easily make a lime crema by squeezing lime juice into sour cream until it has thinned enough to drizzle.

You mean...like google would?
So what is the point of the Food forum if not to share recommendations PP? You can google restaurants, recipes, and cooking tips and yet you are here.

Can of chickpeas, drained
in a saucepan, saute two cloves of garlic, finely chopped onion (i used one small onion), a little ginger (i use the squeeze tube which is super convenient).
Add some tomato paste, like a couple tablespoons. Sautee to incorporate. Add a little turmeric (like a quarter teaspoon or even less). Add some garam masala, like half a teaspoon (you can buy McCormick brand). Add salt. I also added Kashmiri chili pepper powder -- just a little, which made it super spicy -- but you can add some cayenne or paprika to suit your taste if you like less spicy. Add a little brown sugar to balance out the spiciness. grind some black pepper.
Add a little water to thin out into a sauce.
Add the chickpeas. simmer for a while, adding more water if it gets dry. If it's too spicy, add more tomato sauce.
I think some people might add Greek yogurt or coconut milk if you like that, but that's a different flavor country for me. This is a north Indian dish.
Eat with heated nan bread, basmati rice, or simply on a buttered bun with sliced raw onion.
I had no idea it was so doable to make chana masala at home - I am going to try this. Thank you!

I’ve made gnocchi as make ahead.
Boil a potato (white sweet potatoes are great)
Mash it
Add an egg, salt, sorinke of nutmeg
Add enough flour to make like play dough.
Roll into snakes, then cut snakes into little pillows. You can indent them with fork.
Freeze spread out on cookie sheet — once separately frozen you can dump in bag.
When you’re ready to cook—boil water. Heat in frying pan butter or olive oil, carmelize onions. Put gnocchi in boiling wayer. As they float to top, fish them out and lightly pan fry in the oil or butter. Top with fresh grated parm.

Potato soup - you can prep potatoes and put into a container with water in the fridge until you're ready to cook. Then into the instant pot. Once they are done add in cream, cheese, etc.
There's a rice and veggie dish we love from a Vegan cookbook. In a pan saute onion, carrots and bell pepper. Then add a bunch of garlic (6-8 cloves). Add in the "sauce" ingredients (soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar) plus cooked rice noodles. Let simmer until thickened. Delicious. Usually takes me around 15min tops even with prep.

The six o’ click scramble cookbook has a ton of really delicious (and easy) vegetarian or vegetarian-adaptable recipes. I think their Facebook group also posts recipes regularly.

I buy beefless beef crumbles from Trader Joe’s. One of my kids fav meals in like baked ziti that I add these too. I also make tacos using them. I add black beans to the crumbles and old El Paso seasoning mix. Whatever sides your family likes.

What also annoys me is when people just say "spinach lasagna" instead of providing a link to the recipe. I know, I know... many people just remember the recipe, do not use a recipe, drastically change a recipe, etc. But it still annoys me.
With that pet peeve articulated, I have a contribution of my own to make on the thread. I made this vegetarian chili last night, and we all really enjoyed it. I increased the initial chopped veggies by about 15-20% and used 3 cups of veggie broth (instead of 2). We topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and sliced avocado.
