It depends on what you like:-) I'm a lifelong vegetarian and here are a few of my favorite snacks
1/2 a pita with sliced tomato and hummus
wasa cracker w/ almond butter, honey, and sliced banana
sliced red bell pepper, cucumber and celery with Jarlsberg cheese
slice whole grain bread w/ 1oz goat cheese and tomato
Lunches-
Pita bread round stuffed with tomato, sprouts, cucumber, hummus and marinated baked tofu
Couscous with chickpeas, peppers, red onion, artichokes, feta cheese and a bottled dressing(tuscan balsamic is good)
Steamed broccoli, mushrooms and cabbage with brown rice, tofu and peanut sauce

hello there,
here's something i find quite interesting.
take a few slices [even number] of cottage or ricotta cheese. the slices should be about 1cm thick and large enough so you can pick one up easily and eat it in about 2 - 3 bites.
make a filling: make a mixture of grated parmesan, normal processed cheddar and perhaps some mozzarella. add a little [very little] finely chopped onions, garlic and season with a little salt and pepper.
cook - part 1: grill the slices separately [as many as you like] and keep aside
cook - part 2: put the mixture you made earlier in between two slices of grilled cottage/ricotta cheese and bake for a few minutes in a very hot oven.
tastes good, you can vary the filling with whatever you like [try salsa with cheese and breadcrumbs sometime] and is quite easy to make.
hope this helps.
regards,
sid

This is a delicious lunch sandwich for vegetarians. If you don't eat dairy, you can omit the mozzarella cheese or substitute it for soy cheese. Enjoy!
Tomato, Portobello, and Mozzarella Melts
**triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute**
Tip: To clean portobello mushrooms, wipe caps with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt -- never soak in water.
INGREDIENTS
2 cup(s) (loosely packed) arugula or watercress
2 tablespoon(s) balsamic vinegar
1 loaf(s) (about 1 -inch think) focaccia or ciabatta bread
4 large (about 1 pound) portobello mushrooms, stems removed and each cut in half
2 medium (about 8 ounces each) tomatoes, cut into 3?4-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
4 ounce(s) mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
DIRECTIONS
1. Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. In small bowl, toss arugula and vinegar until evenly coated. From loaf of focaccia, with serrated knife, cut two 8" by 2" pieces. Cut each piece horizontally in half to make a total of four 8" by 2" pieces.
2. Brush mushrooms and tomatoes on both sides with oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place mushrooms, stem-sides up, and tomatoes on hot grill rack and cook 6 to 8 minutes or until tender and charred, turning over once. Transfer tomatoes to plate. Arrange mozzarella on mushrooms; cover and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese melts
3. Place bread, cut-sides up, on work surface; top with arugula mixture, grilled tomatoes, and cheese-topped mushrooms. Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Oh Yummy, Yummy!
I have this amazing Delia Smith recipe for Fried Halloumi Cheese with a fab dressing:
The best thing is that Halloumi Cheese ( made from sheep's milk ) can be bought in sealed blocks and keeps for about a year. Handy to have in the fridge.
The dressing is made from:
About 250 ml of extra virgin olive oil, tablespoon capers, teaspoon of wholegrain mustard, tablespoon white wine vinegar, and as much fresh corainder as you like, the juice and zest of one lime.
Toss the cheese slices in flour and fry in olive oil; mix the dressing ingredients together and serve around the fried cheese.
I envy you the day you cook this!!
Im a vegetarien too!! as u know lol
