vegetarian recipes

to save money, stock up on frozen veggies when they are on sale, try and focus mainly on whats in season and if its cheap enough to buy extra try to do that and preserve it. make a weekly menu with repeating ingredients, so you have fewer things to purchase. I'm a Pescetarian, You can add me if you'd like ,my food journal might give you some ideas.

thats one i havent heard before whats a "Pescetarian"?????

I keep brown rice and potatos cooked and in fridge at all times. It allows me to make quick and easy meals. I also keep alot of frozen veggies. I do like to do fresh veggies also but sometimes they don't look so fresh or if money is running low I have them in the freezer. Sometimes I just throw some veggies in a ziplock steam bag heat some rice or potatos and top the whole thing with some salsa. You can't get much easier then that. I also make a veggie and rice soup. I take a 28oz can no salt tomatos 2 bags of frozen soup veggies and either water or veggie broth. Then I just add a palm full of whatever seasoning you want. I use Ms dash or Italian seasoning. Then after about 20 min of simmering I add some precooked brown rice or potatos. I also tend to keep some sort of lentils or chili made up, both go great over rice or potatoes then add steamed veggies or salad and you have easy and healthy meal. I hope this gives you some ideas.

Well, depending on your definition of "easy", black bean burritos could be something to throw together.

1 can black beans (drained)
green pepper chopped
1/4 to 1/2 cup onion diced.
Shredded cheese
Light sour cream
Salsa verde
Sprouts or Spinach
Diced tomato
Tortilla

Sautee the onion and pepper, then add the black beans. Add packet of taco seasoning or season yourself (let me know if you'd like a recipe for homemade taco seasoning).

Can get super low calorie tortillas from La Tortilla Factory (50 each). Fill with the bean mixture, add the toppings (sparingly on the dairy, or can obviously skip if you want to save the calories). I entered this in the recipe calculator using the Garlic and Herb tortillas, light sour cream (2 tbs per burrito) and 1/8 cup of shredded cheese (per burrito). Calorie count came out to 215 per serving. It may actually be lower than that (189 per serving) if I stretch the ingredients and make more burritos out of it.

They're REALLY good and my non-vegetarian partner LOVES, even REQUESTS them!
