Does anyone know of any quick and easy veggie meals I can make?

Question

I'm mainly vegetarian and I want to eat more healthfully but I'm not much of a cook and not very creative with vegetables. I need to eat more of them though, and want to stick with it, so it can't be too boring. I'm confused. Please help! Thanks

Answer 1

Caesar salad! Yum.

Romaine lettuce, spicy croutons, parmesan cheese (if that's ok) and a great creamy Ceasar dressing. Maybe some lemon juice too for added zip. The best dressing I've tried contains some anchovies for flavor but again I don't know if fish works with your vegan diet.

I'm not a vegan myself and I really love some grilled chicken tossed in the salad.

Anyway you can't eat well much easier than this. Enjoy!

Answer 3

Amy's Soy Mac-n-cheese, add Soy Knox or Smart Dogs.

Amy's Indian food or Trader Joe's Indian Food (Dal) with rice.

Veat 'Salmon' (pan fry in olive oil, garlic powder and capers or lemon juice) serve with rice and a salad.

Hummus, pita bread and a salad.

Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon - make a BLT add avacado.

Slice tomatoes in rounds, top with Soya Kaas mozzarella cheese, basil, cut up figs (peeled, washed in hot water to bring out the sweetness) sprinkle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Leave out to room temp until cheese is 'melted' looking.

Stir-fry veggies and rice with Tofu - I use extra firm, wrap in paper towels to soak up the excess water. Cut in slices, fry in a little olive oil, hot pepper sesame oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle with ginger, garlic, curry, whatever you have in the cupboard. Top with sesame seeds. You can also top it with sliced veggie cheese and serve on toasted sourdough with mustard.

Gardenburger Riblets, baked potato, broccoli (w/ lemon, margarine and garlic) and a salad.

Pasta w/ marinara sauce, if you have Boca Itailan Sausages cut them up and add it to the sauce. Serve with garlic bread - spread butter on bread, sprinkle with garlic powder and brown in a pan, butter side down.

Clean portobello mushrooms, cut up, saute in olive oil, garlic and a little soy sauce. Serve with salad.

MorningStar Farms Sausages (not the breakfast ones) are good on homemade pizza - add mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, onions, soy cheese.

Easy Corn Chowder Soup – 1 can each of White Corn, Yellow Corn and Creamed Corn, including the water from the can. Cut up celery add to the pot, add a little rice dream milk.

To vegetarian refried beans add mild green sauce. Add soy cheese if desired. Make Spanish Rice – Far East and/or Rice-a-Roni makes it in a box, just add tomatoes. Serve in a burrito, taco or tostada – add lettuce, tomatoes, soy cheese and avacado to the top.

Quorn turkey roast, with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Use leftovers on for a 'turkey' sandwich or in soup -

Vegetarian Chicken Noodle Soup

¾ cup Vegetarian Chicken Soup Base

6 organic celery stalks, chopped

1 ½ cups sweet onion

6 carrots, chopped finely

1 package organic noodles (rice, corn or barley)

1 package of Quorn Tenders (or use leftover Quorn Turkey Roast cut up)

Sauté Tenders lightly in olive oil. Heat water, add soup base, stirring gently. Add vegetables, noodles (consider breaking them into 1-2 inch pieces) and Quorn Tenders.

Basil, Tomato and Mozzarella Sandwich

INGREDIENTS

1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread

6 fresh basil leaves, chopped

2 tomatoes, sliced

4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced (Soya Kaas)

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS

Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Layer the basil, tomato slices, and mozzarella cheese between the two halves of bread. Cut into four sandwiches.

In a small dish, stir together the balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes. Use as a dipping sauce.

Answer 4

put some olive oil in a pan...throw in some garilic and chop fresh rosemary....throw it all in together and let it sautee for a few minutes.  

Put veggies into a roasting pan...and add some potatoes...pour the olive oil mixture overtop and then cover it all in balsamic vinegar.  

Put it all in the oven and roast the vegetables..the blasamic will caramelize them a little bit!!!

Its really delicious!

(You might want to give the pototoes a quick boil if you add them and do the same with carrots...so that they dont take as long in the oven...very yummy!!)
