    Black bean burritos are a staple in my house!

    1 Bell Pepper (red, orange, or yellow), chopped
    1/2 Red Onion, chopped
    1 can Black Beans, rinsed (I like Meijer Organics)
    1Tbs Chili Powder
    1Tsp Cumin
    1Tsp Black Pepper
    1Tsp Cayenne Pepper (if you like it hot)
    1Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
    Dash of Salt
    Splash of Sunflower Oil
    Burrito wrap of your choice

    Saute bell pepper and onion in sunflower oil until soft (I use the salt here to let them sweat); usually 4 to 5 minutes on medium heat. Pour in black beans and season with chili powder, cumin, cayenne, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Once everything is hot, spoon it in wrap and enjoy. I usually serve it with fresh chopped salsa, guacamole, and taco quinoa (quinoa with taco seasoning, easy and yummy). The guacamole is cool and creamy, so I never miss the cheese.

    Lentil Salad

    1 box pre-cooked Lentils (trader joe's, about 2 1/2 cups)
    1/4 cup feta
    2 T lemon juice
    parsley/cilantro
    2 T red onion
    1 small tomato, diced

    Open the package of lentils and put into a large bowl. Break up with a fork. Mix in all other ingredients, adjusting for taste. Add salt and pepper as desired. Can eat immediately, but best to let sit for in fridge for a couple of hours. Mix well before serving. Keeps well for a few days in the fridge.

    If you are leaning toward vegan and want to omit the cheese, add a little extra salt and lemon juice. Try garlic salt for a little kick.

    Go to the Cooking Light and Vegetarian Times websites....both have recipe indexes. I have pulled some great recipes from both. In fact, one of the "cover" stories for Cooking Light today is "Vegetarian Summer Recipes."

    This isn't a "recipe" as such .. .. I make it with what ever I have .. . It's sort of scrambled Tofu

    Saute Onions (+ carrots or cabbage or green beans etc)
    Add - curry powder
    Add Tofu (kind of mushed up or in very small cubes)
    then add
    Fresh Spinach - chopped up to small bits.
    Add wee bit of water, cover for Spinach to wilt a bit.

    I have this for breakfast with toast - or warmed up tortilla.

    I do add salt and pepper to taste - but just a weeee bit of salt

    Best

    2 T lemon juice
    2T fresh mint, chopped
    2 T red onion

    Oops, messed up the first posting - forget the parsley/cilantro and use fresh chopped mint leaves. Adds a nice balance! Can also spruce it up with a little cumin and coriander. Hope you like it!

    Spaghetti squash (steamed in microwave for 9 minutes - then removed with a fork)
    Topped with sauteed diced tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, garlic, bell peppers and olive oil (cook until tender and tasty).
    Seasoned with Mrs. Dash Italian, little bit of brown sugar, pinch or two of sea salt, cayenne pepper, and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Fantastic! Takes about 30 minutes to make and very satisfying.

    Vegetarian chili! You can add one of those vegetarian ground beef substitutes, but I like it with lots of veggies and beans

    Add presoaked dry beans or canned beans (whatever kind you like, I like to do a combo of black beans, white and red kidney beans), lots of fresh chopped veggies (carrots, onions, mushrooms, celery, and whatever else you've got on hand that looks good), and canned tomatoes or tomato sauce. Put it all in the slow cooker with a packet of chili seasoning, or the spices you like. Add several handfuls of frozen corn in the last half hour. Serve over brown rice, or eat on its own!

    I cook a lot from this website - fantastic vegan recipes:
    http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/

    I also like the cookbooks "Appetite for Reduction" and "Quick Fix Vegan." Both are very reasonably priced on Amazon if not available at your local public library.

    Tofu is a soy-based meat alternative. I like it best "extra firm" and baked or pan-fried. You can make veggie dips and desserts out of the softer varieties.
