Vegetarian Ideas?

I'm trying to get my weight back under control and also having problems getting my food stamps. So at this point vegetarian sources of protein are far cheaper and go much further than the animal based ones. My job at a green house/ produce market gives us reduced prices on veggies and access to unsellable produce for free. I am trying to convert myself and three young daughters over to a primarily vegetarian diet while encouraging weight loss in myself and has a taste that is still palatable for the young ones. I also have to work within a local, in season produce framework. (Right now I have oodles of tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, corn, cabbage, zucchini, squash, and an eclectic mixture of fruit) I am also lucky enough to have many staples stored in bulk. Any ideas?
