    I live in a mostly vegetarian household...i've lost 15 pounds and gotten a lot healthier by following a mainly veg diet...although its kind of long here is my fave veggie lasagna recipe...its a lot longer looking than it takes to prepare, i'll admit ther eis a lot of prep work/cutting but ITS SO YUMMY AND WORTH IT, plus you can make a jumbo batch and freeze some of it or whatever,

    ~*~Kickass Veggie Lasagna~*~
    1 cup chopped onions
    2 cups sliced mushrooms
    3 cloves of garlic minced
    1 cup EACH diced carrots, red pepper, and zucchini
    1 can (28 oz) tomatoes, undrained, cut up
    1 cup "italian style" tomato sauce
    1 can tomato paste
    1 tbl soy sauce
    2 tsp dried basil
    1 tsp dried oregano
    2 tsps brown sugar
    9 lasagna noodles, uncooked (if my memory served correctly I needed a few more
    2 cups low fat cottage cheese
    1 egg white
    1/2 cup parmesan cheese
    1 10-oz package frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed dry, and chopped
    1 cup shredded mozza
    3/4 cup shredded cheddar

    Cook up onions, garlic, mushrooms, carrots, pepper and zuchinni until softened.
    Add tomatoes, tomato sauce/paste, soy sauce, spices, brown sugar; mix well, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Prep lasagna noodles, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

    In a bowl mix together cottage cheese, egg white, parmesan cheese, and spinach. Set aside.

    To assemble: spray a deep 13x9 inch pan with non stick spray, spread 1 cup of sauce over bottom of pan. Layer 3 noodles. Spread 2 cups of sauce over noodles followed by 1/2 of the cottage cheese mix, and 1/3 of the cheese.
    Top with 3 more noodles, 2 cups sauce, 1/2 cottage cheese mixture and 1/3 of the cheese. Layer final 3 noodles on top and add 2 cups of sauce.

    Bake at 375 for 30 minutes covered in foil, uncover and sprinkle remaining cheese on top, bake for about 10 more minutes. <--also let it cool for ten minutes before slicing!

    Enjoooooooooooy!

    Another good thing for a fast meal is the Italian seasoned veggie ground round made by Yves. I fry up some of that and mix it with a jar of pasta sauce, make up some nice pasta and voila! Insta good dinner!

    I loves Yves products! The ground round makes super yummy taco salad too!


    A note for lasagna lovers:
    I hate making a huge lasagna for just me (or me and the bf). I can't stand eating it for 3 weeks. Try wonton skins to make individual sized portions! It's super easy too, because it is no-boil and doesn't need to cook through, just heat up.

    Try looking at www.vegweb.com or www.vrg.org

    I've been veg for about 4 years now. I'm lazy so I eat a lot of easy-to-make meals, as well as fresh fruit and veggies. And pasta dishes...easy, quick, cheap, and tasty. Just look at non-vegetarian meals and try to remove or replace the meat with alternatives like tofu, tempeh, and seitan. It gets easier the longer you do it.

    OK, here's a yummy and EASY Tex-Mex recipe that has refried beans - you can substitute black beans or even veggies.

    Take a package of crescent rolls and seperate them into rectangles (2 triangles) on top of 2 of the rectangles, put a small scoop of refried beans, top with Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese. Top with one of the other rectangles (that doesn't have the beans/cheese). Bake according to directions on crescent rolls. When golden brown, serve with salsa and sour cream.

    Not exactly low-fat, but yummy!!!

    Mexican Rice

    - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    - 1 medium white/yellow onion, chopped
    - 1 teaspon ground cumin
    - 2 cups long-grain brown rice, uncooked*
    - 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    - 4 cups (1 box) "No Chicken" broth or other veg broth**
    - ketchup, to taste
    - 1 25-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

    Heat the oil in a pot large enough to hold and stir all ingredients, and add the onion and cumin. Stir and cook until the onion softens and starts to become clear, about 5-10 minutes. Add the rice and cook some more, letting the grains pop and puff up until golden-brown. Stir in the garlic as the rice is popping. Pour in the broth, stir in the ketchup to taste (I usually end up using several tablespoons), and bring to a boil for a few minutes, stirring occasionally before covering and reducing the heat. Brown rice takes longer to cook than white, so use the cooking times on the package as a guideline. Before all the liquid is gone, stir in the pinto beans. Fluff with a fork when the rice is done.

    This is awesome served with steamed sweet potato, but you could try another vegetable like mustard greens, squash, or whatever you like. You can turn it into something more special with fried plaintains and whole wheat tortillas (wrap it all up if you want!) and tropical juice.

    * I use Golden Rose brown rice, it's wonderfully aromatic and you can get it in bulk at Whole Foods/other natural foods stores. Any long grain brown rice will do, though.

    ** Imagine Foods No-chicken broth or vegetable broth comes in 4-cup boxes you can find pretty much anywhere nowadays. Other brands make similar broths. If you want to cook more vegetarian foods, these are lifesavers.

    I'm cooking this! It's almost done... Can't wait to try it!
