I'm a vegetarian and I usually have to make meals for myself. Any good recipes that are fairly healthy, but not all fruits and vegetables? I'm a pretty good cook, but I don't want anything extremely difficult. It doesn't have to be quick. Thanks!

Amy's Soy Mac-n-cheese, add Soy Knox or Smart Dogs.
Amy's Indian food or Trader Joe's Indian Food (Dal) with rice.
Hummus, pita bread and a salad.
Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon - make a BLT add avocado.
Slice tomatoes in rounds, top with Soya Kaas mozzarella cheese, basil, cut up figs (peeled, washed in hot water to bring out the sweetness) sprinkle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Leave out to room temp until cheese is 'melted' looking.
Stir-fry veggies and rice with Tofu - I use extra firm, wrap in paper towels to soak up the excess water. Cut in slices, fry in a little olive oil, hot pepper sesame oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle with ginger, garlic, curry, whatever you have in the cupboard. Top with sesame seeds. You can also top it with sliced veggie cheese and serve on toasted sourdough with mustard.
Gardenburger Riblets, baked potato, broccoli (w/ lemon, margarine and garlic) and a salad.
Pasta w/ marinara sauce, if you have Boca Italian Sausages cut them up and add it to the sauce. Serve with garlic bread - spread butter on bread, sprinkle with garlic powder and brown in a pan, butter side down.
Clean portabello mushrooms, cut up, saute in olive oil, garlic and a little soy sauce. Serve with salad.
MorningStar Farms Sausages (not the breakfast ones) are good on homemade pizza - add mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, onions, soy cheese. Or if you are still eating egg whites, have the 'sausages' with egg whites.
Easy Corn Chowder Soup – 1 can each of White Corn, Yellow Corn and Creamed Corn, including the water from the can. Cut up celery add to the pot, add a little rice dream milk.
To vegetarian refried beans add mild green sauce. Add soy cheese if desired. Make Spanish Rice – Far East and/or Rice-a-Roni makes it in a box, just add tomatoes. Serve in a burrito, taco or toasted – add lettuce, tomatoes, soy cheese and avocado to the top.

Well I'm vegetarian and when I have tacos I like to put casserole mince into them. It's a vegetarian alternative to mince which comes in tins in NZ (not sure what you can get in other countries). Often when I'm out they put different things in such as chili beans. I was at a camp last week and the vegetarians got tacos with this filling which was rice and corn blended together... very weird. But I'd recommend a vegetarian mince.
This site has some great vegetarian chili recipes. I make it and then freeze it in portion sizes fr a future meal for me.
