Quick and easy vegetarian meals?

Today I plan on opening a can of Bush's vegetarian baked beans. I'll probably microwave the beans and may add a little ketchup. That's pretty easy.

But really, there's a vast variety of levels of easiness. I made this Thai vegetable curry a few days ago and it was delicious and ready in under half an hour including chopping the vegetables. Today I made boiled angel hair pasta with jarred spaghetti sauce and a little garlic. So are you looking for more recipe ideas that involve actual cooking, or are you just looking for something simple and ready practically right away?

For example:utterly simple Tex-Mex inspired meals: taco salad (microwave some frozen beefless crumbles with a little water and taco seasoning, then use to top a salad of romaine, bell peppers, onions, refried beans, and salsa), black bean and corn salad (mix a can of black beans, a can of corn, bell peppers, tomatoes, and green onions, dress with lime, olive oil, garlic, and cayenne pepper), zucchini mushroom fajitas (saute veg with a little water and taco seasoning, wrap in a tortilla, top with guacamole), black bean burritos )wrap canned black beans in a tortilla with lime juice and onions, bake until crispy, top with salsa and olives).

Yesterday I pureed 1/4 c. black beans, 1/3 c. leftover mixed veggies, 1 c. chicken broth, and 2 Tblsp. salsa. Added another 1/4 c. black beans and a Tblsp. potato flakes to thicken, heated up and added 1/4 c. shredded cheese. My quick version of black bean soup.

my favorite go-to meal that's super easy is a veggie, a carb (potatoes, quinoa, or brown rice) and a veggie meat. Burritos are a great option just throw in rice, beans, corn, and peppers Tofu with general tso sauce over rice with broccoli and carrots.

I love quesadillas when I don't want to spend much time cooking. Also, eggs "fried" in a few tablespoons of leftover marinara or salsa is always delicious. The eggs are super versatile, I'll usually throw in any leftover veggies/beans and either eat it with bread/tortilla or over rice. I like runny yolks but for the baby I'd scramble the eggs.

Batch cooking rice is great too, the first day I can make a thai curry for it, and then have lots of leftovers for the week. When the rice starts getting a little dry it's perfect for a quick basil fried rice. If your baby is picky about veggies (like my spouse) then try cutting them up really small to help bulk the meal without it looking like "too many" vegetables. Works at my house, especially when I can use fresh basil for some reason, maybe because it seems lighter and fresher with the basil.
