    I just tried Tofurkey crumbles with chorizo flavoring. Made tacos with it. Honestly, couldn't tell the difference in texture.

    This stuff is awesome. Not all grocery stores carry it though, so I do a little happy dance when I find it in stock. :smiley:

    I love meat but my creamy kale spaghetti squash is my favorite. It's actually a hungry girl recipe but she puts chicken in it, sometimes substitute with shrimp or just meatless either way it's awesome I eat it almost every week

    Spinach quiche. I made mine with a box of frozen spinach, a cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs all mixed up. Put in oven dish and sprinkle some parm or chedder on top and bake until done.

    I've been making this weekly and freezing in individual portions for my work lunches. I use green enchilada sauce instead, just because I prefer it to red. It's especially good with a little salsa on top. Quick, easy recipe!

    Italian Egg Drop Soup is a favorite go to in our house- mainly because it's super quick
    4c broth- chicken or veggie as preferred
    1 egg
    About 1c orzo (I never measure)
    Two big handfuls baby spinach
    Grated Parm cheese to taste

    Just cook the orzo in the broth. When the orzo is tender, mix egg and cheese and then slowly drizzle into soup while stirring. Add spinach and cook until the greens are wilted. Enjoy!

    "Pasta e Fagioli"

    fagioli-con-pasta.jpg

    Pasta and Beans. Typical north Italian dish. Seriously, do not diss it until you tried it. If fills you up even in tiny quantities and is delicious.

    The original recipe calls for some bacon in it, but you can just as easily take it out.

    Other ideas –

    Veggie Lasagna
    Polenta with mushrooms
    Quiche (just choose a meat-less sort)
    Minestrone
    Any fish dish
    Almost any risotto (I actually literally do not know one with meat in it)
    Quinoa Spinach Patties

    I made butternut squash and black bean taco filling last night, but I ate mine in lettuce cups instead of tortillas. I diced the squash into small cubes and sauteed it with onion, garlic, Serrano chilli and spice until tender then added canned black beans. I topped them with chopped radishes, cilantro, and salsa Verde. Quite delicious! I'm vegetarian and love the website Oh My Veggies.

    This past week I made spinach lasagna rolls:

    12 whole grain lasagna noodles, cooked
    2 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
    2 egg whites or one whole egg*
    12 Tablespoons part skim mozzarella
    3/4 cup parmesan cheese
    1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
    12 fresh basil leaves, rolled and cut into ribbons
    1 package fresh baby spinach
    Salt and pepper to taste
    32oz. jar spaghetti sauce or fresh sauce


    *can substitute egg/egg white with a chia egg - take 1 tablespoon of ground chia seeds and mix with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes = 1 whole egg or 2 egg whites.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Ladle one cup of sauce into a 9x13 pan and spread around. Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg whites/egg/egg substitute, garlic, 3/4 of the basil leaves, and spinach. Salt and pepper to taste. Lay out lasagna noodles on wax/parchment paper. Spoon 1/3 cup ricotta mixture onto the noodle and spread out. Roll up and place in the baking pan seam side down. Repeat with all noodles. Ladle sauce over all rolls and top with one tablespoon of mozzarella. Bake for 40-50 minutes. To serve ladle a small amount of sauce on a plate, top with the lasagna roll, and garnish with a few basil leaves. Serve with a fresh fruit salad. Any leftover rolls can be wrapped individually in aluminum foil and frozen in a zip lock freezer bag. They make a wonderful grab and go lunch or dinner, packing/traveling beautifully.

    oh! spinach and ricotta roll!

    similar to the above, except you need to make the dough and then make one large roll with it. :smile:

    cut it up and put it in the oven. sprinkle parmigiano and butter all over it and leave in the oven until golden.

    I've been doing variations of this recipe for a while. It's for flank steak, but it's ridiculously yummy with portabello mushrooms instead. The seasoning combined with the cucumber avocado salsa makes for the absolute best meatless fajitas.

    I love quinoa! I use the red. Cook it in vegetable broth. Add some sauted onions, a can of black beans, a cup of frozen corn, a can of rotel, and some cumin. Serve this with the sides of tacos (guac, sour cream ect..) on low carb tortillas or just eat from a bowl. It's sooo good!!

    I made lentil chili for dinner last night, and will be having it for lunches throughout the week.

    mine didn't turn out quite as pretty as hers but it is super tasty.
