I'm thinking of becoming vegetarian?

Question

but i dont have time to cook elaborate meals. what are some easy (and tasty!) meals i could make with minimal time?

Answer 1

How about baked potatoes which you can have with various fillings such as coleslaw, veg chili, cheese. Frittatas are good too, I use left over boiled potato (sliced), onion, mushrooms, peas, eggs (of course!) and cheese, delish. Pasta and pesto (the vegetarian sort) with salad is another quick but tasty dish.  You can spruce up cheese on toast by spreading a little pesto or tomato sauce on the bread, put a few sliced mushrooms, olives and onion then top with cheese and grill. Pitta bread filled with houmous, falafel and salad is good too! I use a lot of quorn products in my cooking too, low in fat and tasty. Obs theres loads more, but I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Vege fried rice with beans and tofu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

There are a lot of foods we can eat, some ideas:

Pita bread with falafel, avocados, & hummus.

Vegan chili made with black beans, kidney beans, corn, green bean, chili sauce, green peppers & onions.

Baked/fried/BBQ tofu, seiten, TVP, or tempeh.

Cook and fry a large portobello mushroom and make a burger.

Stir fry rice, beans, and vegetables.

Pasta or potatoes (scalloped, mashed, fried, baked, etc) with nutritional yeast cheese sauce. http://www.ivu.org/recipes/italian/sauce...

Sandwiches (like tempeh lettuce & tomato, tofurky cheezsteak, etc).

Answer 6

Congrats on becoming vegetarian!  

As far as meals go, there are a million out there that are uncomplicated and don't take up much time to make.  On my really lazy days, I chop up veggies and make veg. hummus wraps, or pasta with tomato sauce and boca crumbles, stir fry with tofu and veggies (make sure you use tamari, as regular soy sauce ALMOST always has fish product in it), beans and rice.  

Nearly any dish that was your favorite before can become vegetarian with a little creative thought.  Try out this site for recipes:
