What are some really easy vegan/vegetarian recipies?

Everytime I look up 'easy' recipies, I come up with these recipies with about ten different ingrediants. I'm vegetarain and probably don't get enough protein because tofu isn't a staple in my diet, I find it hard to cook it or find things to put it in. Any ideas how I can spice up the tofu and add it to easy things? Also what are some really easy things you can just make there and then for lunch and dinner that take little preperation to make? Doesn't matter if its a vegan or vegetarian recipie, being my lazy self, I just really need some easy things to make. I'm going to the store later to get groceries and I need some thigns that would be easy to add to my food or recipies for easy preperation if that makes sense. Please other vegetarians/vegans help me out!What are some really easy vegan/vegetarian recipies?
Cheater meals. That's what you need. A guide to cheater meals. I'm going to write one someday...



If you don't eat meat you need to be sure to get enough protien and it's work to do this. If you don't, you'll be tired and won't be able to think properly and your body will start using the protien of your muscles to function. Not good!



Some cheater stuff:

Vegetarian chili and brown rice.

1/2 can of chili and a cup of rice in a bowl, you can heat it up and eat it anywhere.



Peanut butter on whole wheat. This is even better if you have milk with it.



Corn tortialls and beans. Corn tortillas and chili with cheese is also good.



I often trick out canned soups by adding cheese, extra vegetables or eggs.



Canned chili with a bunch of fresh spinach and tomatoes cooked into it, add some small cheese cubes and eat with corn chips.



Tomatoe or roasted red pepper soup, heat to a low simmer, poach eggs in it and eat with whole wheat toast.



Eggaritos: Scrambled eggs made into burritos with cheese, salsa, lettuce and tomatoes. If you don't eat eggs, substitue some beans...



Cereal with milk or soy milk.



For seasoning tofu, look for peanut satay sauce or any sort of stir fry sauce. Stir fry tofu in peanut oil til it's browned, drain on paper towels while you add veges to the pan and stir fry them, add the tofu back in and heat through. When I do this I cook big and have a meal with two or three meals of leftovers.



When I am cooking for just me I always cook big, and when I pack the leftovers I put them in single servings so they are ready to go. Sometimes I freeze the single servings so I always have a variety of frozen, ready to heat home prepared meals.What are some really easy vegan/vegetarian recipies?

Well I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan, but im pretty sure salad would work for a lunch or even a dinner. It's kind of the obvious answer lol
There are lots of good recipes on CookingLight.com and EatingWell.com
A rich and creamy Italian sauce, usually served over fettucine. It's also delectable in spinach lasagna and with ravioli.

Yield about 1陆 c

Time 15 minutes

Tools

saucepan

whisk

Ingredients

2 T butter

2 c heavy (whipping) cream

录 c parmesan cheese, grated

1 t nutmeg

salt

Directions Melt the butter over medium-high heat, add the cream, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium.

Add cheese, nutmeg, and a dash of salt and boil, whisking frequently, until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Taste. If you don't notice a hint of sweetness, add another dash of nutmeg.

Pour over cooked pasta, sprinkle with pepper and parsley, and serve hot.If you're making fettucine Alfredo, this is enough sauce for about 8 oz (陆 a pound) of pasta.

The key to excellent Alfredo sauce is in the ingredients. Because this recipe is so simple, you need to use the very best cream and freshly-grated, high-quality parmesan cheese.

If you're worried about calories, you can use 陆 and 陆 or milk along with a T or two of flour instead of the cream, but the taste and consistency of the sauce will suffer for it.

Variation: add peas and/or mushrooms.
';Student's Vegetarian Cookbook'; by Carole Raymond has lots of quick, 1-to-2-serving recipes...I'm not vegetarian, but I don't eat meat very often, and I really like her book. Tofu is good in stir fries, which are usually very quick to put together :) Try pressing and then slicing and marinating the tofu for a few minutes before pan-frying it and adding it to the stir-fry. Pasta can be good too--I love Barilla Plus, which has a decent amount of protein in it (it's not vegan, though--it has egg whites in it, along with garbanzo flour, to boost the protein). Beans are always a good source too--try sandwiches with hummus, or black bean burritos. I don't know if you're a fan of breakfast for dinner--I know I am!--but if you are, then omelets are always delicious and quick to make. I like to fill them with cottage cheese, which adds even more protein :)
