I love this as my main dish but you can add some grilled chicken if you just can't live without meat! It makes great leftovers to take to work for lunch too.

Deep fried falafel not in your diet? Try it baked! Baked falafel is still crunchy on the outside and delicious on the inside!

This is even great for a party and not cooking the noodles makes it easier, saves time and thickens the sauce.

Like lasagna without noodles, but packed with vegetables

Submitted by MADQWEEN

Black beans, sweet potatoes and greens are spiced up and baked in egg roll wrappers to create burritos that are heavy on taste and light on calories. (Feel free to change this recipe with what you've got in the fridge. No sweet potatoes? Try zucchini or butternut squash. Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green! Instead of black beans, try kidney, pinto or garbanzo beans.)

These burgers are spiced to perfection. To make them even spicier, you could melt jalapeno soy cheese on each patty and serve topped with salsa.

These bean cakes are yummy and great for you. Served with the salsa, it makes a very colorful and festive presentation. I serve these with a lite side salad. Plenty of protein and fiber. Even my meat loving hubby loves this meal.

Cookbook creator says: 1.5 cups frozen turnip or collard greens for added nutrition, use no salt added diced tomatoes for convenience. The spices are great.

A departure from standard pasta with tomato sauce- Neufchatel Cheese is used in place of cream cheese and the nutmeg and crushed red pepper flakes give it a unique flavor! A great new way to "eat your spinach"!
Ziti or Penne pasta can be used.

My vegetarian ( or vegan) version of Jambalaya. I'm easy on the heat but you can add more cayenne pepper and some Tabasco to taste. If you want the recipe more soup-like, you will probably want to add more water.
