    A quinoa pilaff with a colourful variety of veg - red peppers, mushrooms, courgettes.

    Puy lentils made into a lasagne filling. Or as a salad dish with some tomatoes and vegan cheese.

    hey!
    check out vplates.org for some good ideas.
    Also, try googling my new roots, green kitchen stories, and earth sprout for some great ideas.
    Hope that helps!

    Chop sweet potatoes, onions, and squash (I use yellow & zucchini a lot) into 1-1.5" chunks. Drizzle in olive oil, toss in some crushed garlic & spices (I like rosemary & black pepper, but to each their own), then spread out single-deep in a baking dish/pan. Bake at 400 for 30-45 min (depending on how soft you like your veggies) -- it's delicious.

    Of late, I've been stuck on a baked sweet potato, black bean soup and greens. <== I've got a pot of these going and/or have them in the fridge at all times.

    Take a look at Dr. John & Mary McDougall's recipe index - scroll down to "Entrees" - here:

    http://www.drmcdougall.com/newsletter/recipeindex.html

    Also, check out the Fat Free Vegan - Susan Voisin's superb site - food categories are listed on the left side of the homepage and she has tons of entrees:

    http://fatfreevegan.com/

    Also, the McDougalls have a cookbook out that I find absolutely indispensable when pressed for time - it's on Kindle, and even if you don't have one you can download the reader for free from Amazon and read any Kindle book on your laptop (or even smartphone) if you have 'em -

    "The Mcdougall Quick and Easy Cookbook: Over 300 Delicious Low-Fat Recipes You Can Prepare in Fifteen Minutes or Less"


    This is probably way more than you were looking for - :)

    Some of my favorite veg cookbooks are How It All Vegan, Vegan Planet, and Skinny ***** In The Kitch. Also be sure to check out the websites for Post Punk Kitchen, The Vegan Stoner, and Vegan Dad. They all have lots of great ideas. Dinner tonight is Hummus, Tempeh and Cucumber wrap from the "...In The Kitch" book (you can find that recipe online)...yummmmmmmmmmmm.

    Hi there!
    I have a personal blog where I go to keep vegan recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and sometimes dessert.
    Check it out if you want to! Most pictures have a link that you can click to find the recipe. Hope you find something you like!

    I was going to suggest this as well. Her stuff is fabulous.

    As a favourite vegan dinner, I like brown rice and red lentil dal. So good!

    http://www.dirtygourmet.com/ This website has both meaty and vegan meals, so you check the ingredients before you get excited about a recipe (I always get excited about making something from my childhood only to find it is something from my childhood and I cannot eat it). I love there recipes because they are generally for camping which means they are quick, easy, and use pretty normal ingredients. Also fun for when you have a crowd. If you get a chance try their vegan tuna salad; to die for and super easy to make plus low cal (I figure 1/4 cup is a serving and each serving is 120 calories)!

    http://www.cookingquinoa.net/ OMG! I love quinoa and Wendy the Quinoa lady! Burgers, salads, sides, refried quinoa; you name, she has it.

    http://healthygirlskitchen.blogspot.com/ Great recipes from all different books. Great ideas for cook books I need to buy.

    http://peasandthankyou.com/ Great place to look as well.
