Veggi on the cheap?
You could do a pasta primevera; whole wheat pasta (some have additional protein AND some even have a serving of veg). Take olive oil, heat it in the pan add a clove or two of garlic, add choice of veggies, once cooked add a bit of liquid (veg stock, wine, if your not strict on the veg theme chicken stock) bring it up to a simmer and take a bit of the salted pasta water a couple of TBS (it will thicken the sauce) turn the heat up until its slightly thicker. Drain the pasta and toss with the veggies and sauce. (I'd add red pepper flakes to it but its optional).
You could use frozen veggies, but I would stay away from canned.0 -
I make southewestern veggie soup. All you need are a can (or two) of black beans, a can of kidney beans, a can of pinto beans, red and green bell peppers, a yellow onion, 30 ounce can of diced tomatoes, veggie stock, and fresh tomatoes (chopped).
I cook the peppers and onion in a little oil first in the pot I'll cook the soup in. After they're soft, I'll add all the ingredients, any spices I want to add (like crushed red pepper flakes, chili powder, black and white pepper, ect). Let it simmer for an hour, and bam! Great meal.0 -
Anything with roasted chickpeas is a great substitute for me. You can replace meat in a lot of dishes with then and if you roast until crispy they make a great snack.0

2 of my faves...
http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/slow-cooker-vegetarian-chili-with-sweet-potatoes-00000000049528/
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/macaroni-and-4-cheeses-recipe/index.html
Both of these also freeze really well.
I triple the chilli when I make it, section it off into portions that work for my family, then freeze. The night before I want to make it I put one in the fridge and then dump it in the slow cooker the next morning.
The macaroni serves 8, so I usually make the whole thing, then divide it in half and freeze one half of it (minus the crumb topping). Then again, put it in the fridge the night before, then all I have to do the next evening is add the topping and bake.0
