My favourite thing to do as a vegan is take non vegan recipies and make them vegan.
Good egg substitutes are avacado, applesauce and banana. Good butter substitutes are olive oil, avacado oil, penut butter and many more :P
GOOD LUCK!

Zucchini Raviolis are awesome

My go to simple meal is...

La Tortilla Factory low carb tortillas, 1/4 avocado, black beans, salsa and a ton of lettuce for yummy quick taco. Sometimes I add 1/2 oz cheese most times I don't.

One really simple one I call Awesome Cauliflower can be made vegetarian or vegan depending on if you eat cheese or not.
INGREDIENTS:
1 head cauliflower, chopped
Chives, to taste
Salt and pepper as needed
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2-4 tbsp grated parmasean or pecorino romano cheese
1 tbsp minced garlic

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Place cauliflower florets in large roasting pan. Mix together garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl, then pour and coat cauliflower in the mixture. Place in oven and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even roasting. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.

I'm making a zucchini mushroom oven frittata for dinner tonight. I have no idea how it will taste because I'm usually just winging it in the kitchen. MFP says it has 434 calories (most from olive oil and some parmesan cheese but you can easily leave those out or swap them form lower calorie ingredients). For the rest it's 0.5 zucchini, 0.5 cup mushrooms, onion and garlic. Bake in pan with salt and pepper or other spices. Let it cool a bit, put in an ovenproof dish and add 2 large, whisked eggs. Bake in oven for 10 minutes, sprinkle parmesan over it and put it back in the oven for maybe 5 more minutes. Don't know if the baking times are correct, like I said... haven't tried it yet.

The veganista Sweet Potato and Quinoa Chili is delicious, tried the recipe this weekend. http://www.simple-veganista.com/2013/03/sweet-potato-quinoa-chili.html

I eat mostly plant based meals.
The quickest and easiest thing I do that is also filling are:
Roasted veggies
or
heating up frozen vegetables and adding a sauce I like and a protein source (beans/legumes, soy products, seitan, etc.)

Another good recipe is one head of cauliflower, florets only tossed in a bag with 1/4 cup of olive oil 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of tumeric, 5 smashed garlic cloves and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Spread onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees until tender. Appt. 30 minutes. The turmeric and cumin have a lot of health benefits.
