I tried the spaghetti squash chow mien and its good - if you add lots of flavors like the ginger, soya sauce, garlic etc...I even added sesame oil and hot sauce....used cabbage, mushrooms , cauliflower, broccoli, onion..
first cook squash in oven , then do the rest0 -
Here's some that were a hit with my family!

I just bought a Spiralizer, and I can't get enough of the zucchini noodles I can make with it. The look and texture are satisfyingly pasta like. As for the taste, you can flavour them any way you feel like.

Quinoa is a great base for a ton of recipes. I just made a quinoa "tabbouleh". Cook quinoa just like you would rice, though make sure to rinse thouroughly in water before or it will be bitter. Cut onion and soak in water for a bit to cut the sharpness. Then you just cool the quinoa, add the onion, some tomato, mint, parsley, lemon juice, touch olive oil and salt and pepper. Came out to less than 400 calories and it was delicious and filling!0

Try Mujadra. You can Google for a recipe, but the basic recipe isa cup of dry lentils, a cup of dry bulgur or rice and a pound of deeply caramelized onions. Serve with a dollop of yogurt0

You seem to be responding to a completely different comment. If you hadn't noticed, tuna is a fish.0 -
Haha...I caught it...had a giggle

Some of my favorites are veggie chili, pureed roasted root veggie soups, veggie burgers (I make bean/lentil patties), fritattas, salads (obvious), pizza, burritos & grilled cheese. Lots of options for you

I just made a kale and pinto bean soup the other day. It is very low calorie and very good. It's 4 cups veggie broth, 7 kale stalks, 1red bell pepper, 3 carrots, around 5-6 ounces of mushrooms, two small yellow onions, and 1 can of pinto beans. Sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
You chop up the kale, bell pepper, carrots(after peeling), mushrooms, and onions, and add it to the veggie stock in a large pan. Add the mostly drained pinto beans and seasonings. Let it cook on medium for a short while, and then let it simmer for about an hour. It's great! 0 -
I make recipes from the Eat To Live Cookbook, the Forks Over Knives Cookbook, and I modify recipes from Weight Watchers, Vegetarian Times and many others. I love Helyn's Healthy Kitchen, too. All of these are on-line too.0

Tagine made with chickpeas, zucchini, eggplant, pumpkin, red onion and dried fruit in a Moroccan spiced tomato sauce. You could have it like that, or serve it with couscous/rice/naan.
Mixed bean chili (black and kidney beans with bell pepper and red onion in a spicy tomato sauce). Serve with rice, tortillas or lettuce wraps.
Pumpkin, leek and goat cheese quiche served with a mixed salad.
Lentil and sweet potato dahl.
Green curry with boiled eggs.0 -
love this thread, recently discovered I'm wheat intolerant so my normal veggie pasta meals are a no go

Try any hot and spicy Indian curry. By the way, on a daily basis, cream/ coconut milk/ cashew paste are not added to the curries. Also, ghee and butter are usually substituted with vegetable oils.0 -
Vegetarian tacos
Vegetarian shepherd's pie
Vegetarian chili dogs0 -

Some vegetarians eat fish, maybe that's what he meant.0 -

Then they're not vegetarians. Vegetarians don't eat animal flesh. Just like "some vegans eat honey" makes no sense. Wiki: "Pescetarians are sometimes described as vegetarian or pesco-vegetarian, but vegetarians commonly do not consider the pescetarian diet to be vegetarian. For example, the Vegetarian Society, which initiated popular use of the term vegetarian as early as 1847, does not consider pescetarianism to be a vegetarian diet."
OP: You didn't specify that you wanted dinners specifically, so I will say that hummus is the most versatile lunch food ever. I go through phases where I make it 5 cups at a time and spread it on everything I eat. You can also add in things like avocado and spinach for green hummus, which is fun and tasty. My favorite hummus recipe (read the top comment about modifications: http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/26921/real-hummus/
Brie potato soup. Really high calorie, really delicious, really filling: http://peasandcrayons.com/2012/11/creamy-potato-apple-brie-soup.html
Low calorie roasted brussels spouts recipe: http://kosheronabudget.com/easy-balsamic-roasted-brussels-sprouts/ I eat them with a vegetarian protein, like black bean burgers or Gardein products.
Crockpot squash/apple/cinnamon heaven: http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/213042/savory-slow-cooker-squash-and-apple-dish/ It makes your whole house smell like autumn with the spices. I've added in other things like pureed pumpkin and it turned out well.

Then it's exactly what he meant, it's a true Scotsman kind of thing.
Either way, there are many very tasty vegetarian dishes, actually almost anything can be made vegetarian, you only need to substitute the meat. I will second Mujadra - the deeply caramelized onions give this smokey umami flavor to the whole dish, and it's also quite filling. I also made a this recipe the other day and it was amazing

Vegetarians do not eat fish. Nothing for which you have to kill any animal form including fish.0

My favorite guac recipe is on this app called sidechef. Here's the website sidechef.com/download. They have all sorts of vegetarian and vegan recipes.0

Has anyone tried the Food On the Table app? Not only does it help you with meal planning, you're able to specify ingredients and dietary restrictions. Once you pick your meal(s) from the variety of recipes, it will generate a grocery list and find what's on sale at your favorite, local grocer.0

Google up 'meatless monday' recipes by Kim O'Donnel. Plenty of good suggestions.0
-
OK, this may be old school, but Jeanne Lemlin's cookbooks have some of my very favorite vegetarian recipes!0
-
my lunch today is wild rice blend with curried lentils - pinterest is super helpful for recipes, I love it!0
-
more "inspiration" than actual recipes - there are lots of ethnic vegetarian foods that don't rely on pasta.
Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Thai, etc. all have great alternatives.0 -

Oooops. No worries for me, as that recipe has my mouth watering. Then again I'm not a vegetarian though I do like vegetarian dishes.0
