Vegetarians: Meal ideas I can cook in bulk for the week?

Although it's great that you're eating less meat - keep in mind that FISH IS STILL MEAT! Fish are animals. So eating fish = eating animals = not vegetarian.
I don't mean to be rude or anything. I'm not really into labels but it drives me crazy when people call themselves vegetarians when they still eat some animals. It's like saying "hey I don't eat crackers - I only eat Triscuits". Well ... that's still a cracker! :P

Thank you for this! The word is pescetarian (: more people need to learn it.

Very true! My BF is a Pescetarian and i'm constantly having to explain this to people!

My boyfriend's mum says she's 'vegan but drinks milk and eats cottage cheese'... as a vegan myself it's quite insulting, it's like... you're not really a vegan then are you ;p

I have a vegetarian chili that is a kicker! I will eat on this all week long. And for the record, it's an award winner. Every time I've ever entered it in a cook-off, it's always won. Against ALL the meat chilis, thank you very much.

You can find the recipe here: http://jenna3.livejournal.com/311174.html

The fruits and nuts are optional, for when you need a little extra something to make it fun. It's great with or without and both ways have won awards.

Another option I love, is 3 bean salad:

Dark red kidney beans,
wax beans
garbanzo beans
chopped onion
chopped olives (optional, I like 'em)
And a low-sugar Italian-style dressing of choice. Mix and let sit for a few hours at least. I make a big batch and have this with every meal. You can also make with black beans for higher fiber.
