Help me out, I'm trying to plan out my meals for the week and I'd love some new food ideas. Summer is in full swing here in New Zealand so I have all of this wonderful season's produce to choose from. I'm vegetarian (I do eat eggs and dairy products), and I'm quite the capable cook/baker. I appreciate all suggestions :)

    Vegan quesadillas! I know you eat dairy, but the vegan cheese is lower in cals, fat, and has no cholesterol. I use brown rice tortillas, Daiya brand pepperjack + mozzerella cheese, pinto or black beans, tofu, cabbage, shredded carrots, and sometimes spinach.

    I like pretty much everything at 101 cookbooks (http://www.101cookbooks.com/), especially her asparagus stir fry, which I had tonight. : ) http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/asparagus-stirfry-recipe.html

    I forgot to say, I prefer vegan food. Yay fruits and veggies! <3

    @ladybug: Quesadillas eh? Never made those before. Thanks for the idea!

    @krbn2: Mmm asparagus... Looks like an interesting recipe. I may incorporate some quinoa into that. Thanks!

    I'm vegan. Tonight we had Portobello Philly Cheese "Steakless" Sandwiches. DE-licious! http://vegancajun.blogspot.com/ The kids and the hubs had cheese on theirs. Mine was cheese-less.

    Finding vegan cheese in Australia is very difficult and it is quite expensive. I can't imagine it would be any easier in NZ.

    You're so right! I haven't seen any stores in nz that sell vegan cheese, not that I'd buy it if there were. Vegan cheese tastes funny. But then, a lot of vegan substitutes taste funny. Ah, it was the cheese that made me stop being vegan. Cheese <3
