Vegetarian Meals Recipes (Most Popular)
From Vegetarian Cooking for Dummies, a recipe from the Flying Burrito restaurant in Chapel Hill, NC. "A sweet-savory combination of mashed sweet potatoes and black beans...filling and nutritious."
This tastes like dessert but is actually a protein shake in disguise. Basically just a fun way for me to bump up my protein. Esp. on weight lifting days when i'm already drinking one protein powder shake, this makes for nice variety.
Plus it's tasty.
This is my favorite comfort food breakfast when i'm sick and/or it's cold and nasty outside. Plus it's a great way to use up leftover rice.
Can easily be doubled, tripled, etc.
Vegan "egg" patties for breakfast sandwiches or "egg" mcmuffins. Based off of the omelet recipe in Vegan Brunch by Isa Chandra Moskowitz.
Yummy bubble pizza veggie style. This could be modified to use reduced fat biscuits for even better nutritional value...I just couldn't find them so, I calculated w/ regular biscuits for my meal tracker.
Recipe from "eat, drink & be vegan" by Dreena Burton.
Delicious vegan soup
This healthy and inexpensive dish was inspired by the beautiful and cheap green cabbages available now at our farmer's market. You can change the spice balance to your tastes - more spice, less spice, Italian spices, Mexican. You can also use meat instead of TVP.
This is one of my favorite "OMG I have only 15 minutes!" meals. It's super creamy and delicious, and prep time in no time! I use a magic bullet for this as it's microwave friendly, but you could use a food processor or blender if necessary. Obviously, you could use fresh vegetables for better nutrition-- which would up the prep time, go to a low sodium pasta sauce (but I LOVE my salt), or cut out the parm cheese to cut out calories, but the parm really fills out the flavor and my goal is to make something healthy, fast, and really really delicious. NOTE: This is the sauce only, with veggies. I use it with spaghetti squash, but it's also great over scrambled eggs, barilla plus pasta, brown rice, or any thing else. It makes A LOT of veggie saucy goodness-- you could easily split this into two servings, but with the low calories, you can afford to splurge!
I've played with lots of vegan cheese sauce recipes, from raw cashews to ones with margarine. This one has NO added fat and is DELICIOUS.
I like to serve over whole grain pasta with broccoli and cauliflower, or as a topping to a baked potato.
This is salty, savory, with loads of creamy umami flavor. It's by far my favorite creation I've made as a vegan thus far.
These were delicious! I served them on warm whole wheat tortillas - about 200 calories for the whole meal, and soooo good.
A beautiful veggie dish for the holidays or just to celebrate the seasonal produce. Sweet, tangy, and delicious.
Quiche just got more healthful with this easy recipe that uses tortillas for the crust and lower-fat products in place of tranditional ingredients.
I adapted this from a meat recipe I read in Chatelaine magazine. It is delicious. I usually use green beans, but we had fresh zuchinni on hand. The original recipe called for asparagus.
Delicious with Tandoori Chicken. From the Canadian Living Summer Cookbook Special 1983, page 36. This issue is a classic with many wonderful recipes.
This can be used as a filling for a quick meal in a tortilla or served with chips for any occasion.
