Need variety! Share food diaries anyone?

Hi! I'm looking to broaden my horizons in healthy, vegetarian meals! The simpler and quicker to make the better! I'm a mom of 2 with a hectic job (12 hour night shifts) so easy meal ideas are appreciated more than you know!!! If anyone is willing to share their diaries or recipes with me so that I can expand my options please add me :) Thank you sooooo much!!!

    My diary is open. This week I plan on making stir-fried green beans with rice, ratatouille crepes, tomato risotto, spicy corn fritters, and lots of cucumber salads.

    I highly, highly recommend the Post-Punk Kitchen (http://www.theppk.com/) and Isa Chandra Moskowitz's books, particularly Vegan with a Vengeance and the absolutely amazing Veganomicon. Even if you aren't vegan, you'll get some really great ideas on how to be creative. It's really expanded my mind in terms of how to put meals together. Plus, cutting down on dairy is a good way to help lose the pounds!

    Also - if you don't have one, you should get a food processor!

    I love Vegetarian Times magazine, they have an online edition too. They have great simple recipes and there is always something new :)
