I make a lot of recipes from the Happy Herbivore cookbooks. They're fast and easy, and low in fat and calories. Last night I made the Hawaiian Teriyaki Chickpeas, which had three ingredients plus rice. I added a lot of mustard greens to mine to get my veggies, but my non-vegetarian boyfriend ate it with just rice and told me I needed to make it again.

Other good meals are:

cheese and veggie quesadillas

vegetarian chili (you can use TVP instead of meat, or just add vegetables or extra beans)

rice and beans (with corn for added sweetness)

portabella mushroom burgers (brush a portabella mushroom lightly with olive oil and spices, then grill).

I'm a vegetarian and I have an open diary. Always willing to share recipes with those interested in them. Anything labeled Pocketmole's Kitchen is something I whipped up and the ingredients are already entered into MFP, so it's really easy to share exactly what went into it.

I take photos of my food a lot, so here are some of the recent things I've eaten...

Today for lunch I made chickpea and farro burgers with feta, olives and pesto:



Stuffed tomato with farro and kale with pesto (I used the leftover farro and pesto in the veggie burgers for lunch today)


Roasted cheesy potatoes, sauteed quorn roast, and salad.


Avocado kale salad with seasoned tofu.


Banana rum pancakes with steel cut oats.


Vegetarian chilli (one of my favorite things to make because it's easy, high protein, and low cal)


Hummus baked seitan and side salad.


Cheesy spaghetti squash, grilled quorn roast, and salad.


Tofu avocado "egg" salad on toast with fresh fruit.


Tom kha gai soup (thai soup with coconut milk)


Spicy quorn and jack cheese quesadillas with pinto beans.


Polenta with drunken mushrooms and roasted asparagus.


Taco salad.


Zucchini boat "enchiladas".


Veggie meatballs with pasta and salad.


Tamale with spicy chili-tomato sauce and avocado three bean salad.
