I love veggie foods, but I'm stuck for ideas!

Please offer some ideas!
Anything at all: I love a huge variety of flavours - spicy, sweet, salty, 'bland' (some people say this about cottage cheese and tofu, but I love both)!

    "Sloppy BBQ Lentils" (About 135 calories per 1/2 cup)

    First, saute...     (10 min+/-)
    1 tbsp(s), Minced Garlic
    2 medium, Carrots, raw
    1 medium (approx 2-3/4" long, 2-1/2" dia), Peppers, sweet, green, raw
    1 small, Onions, raw

    Then add...
    15 fluid ounce, Tomato Sauce
    0.25 cup(s), Kraft Original Barbeque Sauce
    1 tbsp, Balsamic Vinegar
    1 Tbsp, Organic Molasses
    1 tsp, Mustard
    1 tsp (1.8 g), Spices, oregano, dried
    And simmer (20 min+/-)

    Finally stir in...
    2.50 cup, Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt
    And simmer (another 10-20min)

    This is by far my favorite; quick, easy, and very, very tasty.

    Creamy Broccoli Slaw
    1 head raw broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets
    1/4 cup plain yogurt
    1 tbsp light cream cheese
    1 tbsp honey
    1/3 cup trail mix (the variety that has nuts like sunflower seeds and cashews dried cranberries is what I go with)
