    I am vegetarian but do lots of vegan stuff to. Here are a few vegan dishes that are really yummy but often people forget; vegan seems to trigger soy products and lentils and beans...

    we love making stir fries with different veggies and sauces
    spaghetti squash
    zucchini lasagna with soy cheeses etc.
    quinoa!!!! I love quinoa stuffed acorn squash or peppers, quinoa risotto...
    regular risotto
    tacos/fajitas
    sweet potato fries
    fresh fruit salads....

    Once you start trying you are likely to discover there are many choices!!! I have the Veganomicon cook book- I like it. It may not be the best to start with though. Good luck!

    Breakfast:
    Tea with Almond Milk
    Ezekiel toast with peanut butter
    Apple

    Lunch:
    All bean chili, or tofu scramble with spices with salsa
    Mock Chicken salad made with Vegan Mayonaise and Gardein Chik'n strips
    Any of the above with a large fresh salad

    Dinner:
    Flat out wrap with marinara and vegan cheese
    or a wrap with spinach, nutritional yeast, tomatoes, cucumbers hummus, avocado

    Snacks:
