Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance
Quorn turkey roast, with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Use leftovers on for a 'turkey' sandwich or in soup -
Vegetarian Chicken Noodle Soup
6 cups of pure water
? cup Vegetarian Chicken Soup Base
6 organic celery stalks, chopped
1 ? cups sweet onion
6 carrots, chopped finely
1 package organic noodles (rice, corn or barley)
1 package of Quorn Tenders (or use leftover Quorn Turkey Roast cut up)
Sauté Tenders lightly in olive oil. Heat water, add soup base, stirring gently. Add vegetables, noodles (consider breaking them into 1-2 inch pieces) and Quorn Tenders.
Basil, Tomato and Mozzarella Sandwich
INGREDIENTS
1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tomatoes, sliced
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced (Soya Kaas)
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
DIRECTIONS
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Layer the basil, tomato slices, and mozzarella cheese between the two halves of bread. Cut into four sandwiches.
In a small dish, stir together the balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes. Use as a dipping sauce.
Amy's Soy Mac-n-cheese, add Soy Knox or Smart Dogs.
Amy's Indian food or Trader Joe's Indian Food (Dal) with rice.
Veat 'Salmon' (pan fry in olive oil, garlic powder and capers or lemon juice) serve with rice and a salad.
Hummus, pita bread and a salad.
Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon - make a BLT add avacado.
Slice tomatoes in rounds, top with Soya Kaas mozzarella cheese, basil, cut up figs (peeled, washed in hot water to bring out the sweetness) sprinkle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Leave out to room temp until cheese is 'melted' looking.
Stir-fry veggies and rice with Tofu - I use extra firm, wrap in paper towels to soak up the excess water. Cut in slices, fry in a little olive oil, hot pepper sesame oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle with ginger, garlic, curry, whatever you have in the cupboard. Top with sesame seeds. You can also top it with sliced veggie cheese and serve on toasted sourdough with mustard.
Gardenburger Riblets, baked potato, broccoli (w/ lemon, margarine and garlic) and a salad.
Pasta w/ marinara sauce, if you have Boca Itailan Sausages (vegetarian) cut them up and add it to the sauce. Serve with garlic bread - spread butter on bread, sprinkle with garlic powder and brown in a pan, butter side down.
Clean portobello mushrooms, cut up, saute in olive oil, garlic and a little soy sauce. Serve with salad.
Boca Sausages or even MorningStar Farms Sausages (not the breakfast ones) are good on homemade pizza - add mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, onions.
Easy Corn Chowder Soup – 1 can each of White Corn, Yellow Corn and Creamed Corn, including the water from the can. Cut up celery add to the pot, add a little rice dream milk.
To vegetarian refried beans add mild green sauce. Add soy cheese if desired. Make Spanish Rice – Far East and/or Rice-a-Roni makes it in a box, just add tomatoes. Serve in a burrito, taco or tostada – add lettuce, tomatoes, soy cheese and avacado to the top.
A salad, a traditional stir fry with corn, broccoli, zucchini, and other stuff. And also spaghetti. For dessert, a ice cream.
Why not make a coconut curry. All you need is one tin of coconut milk per 3 or 4 people, whatever curry paste you like, and whatever veggies you like. I love sweet potato, green beans and baby corn, but it depends on what is affordable and available. Keep the amount of diferent veggies down to about three and think of contrasting textures and colours (aubergine/egg plant looks horrible) Peas are very pretty when combined with red peppers and hard boiled eggs.
Or how about lovely, aromatic oven baked potatoes with a variety of fillings and salad for your guests to help themselves to on the side. Bakies are lovely, but often done badly in restaurants (in the U.K anyway) and too much fuss for one person, so especially good for a meal with friends.
I hope you find something!

these are all tastey, if you're not Vegan anyway.
Sweet acorn or butternut squash. I can't remember if the summer squash is steamed or baked though, but you put a little butter or spread in the center of a half & a spoon or 2 of brown sugar.
Succotash, just cook limabeans & corn in a pot & mix them together with salt & a little granulated garlic. It tastes great.
Steamed baby carrots & coat them in honey & butter.
Dice up a few brown, red, & yellow potatoes, put them in a casserole dish, coat them in olive oil & italian seasonings like onion powder, ralic powder, oregano, basil, parsely, thyme, marjoram, salt, white pepper, etc, & roast them until they're crispy on the outside.
Steamed artichoke with whole sliced garlic. They're sweet, so you really don't need mayo or any seasonings.
Roasted asparagus with melted parmisan cheese & garlic.
Baked breaded zuchinni.
Artichole & spinach dip with sourdough bread.
Chopped jicama with diced water chestnuts.
3 bean salad with berry vinegarette.
You can also make lentil & veggie soup. I prefur Sweet Red Lentil (it's more of a desert, like Azuki Bean Soup) or Italian Lentil with Wine (which smells a bit like maranara sauce) myself.
Grilled pear salad with crumbly blue cheese. Highly reccomended.
Mustard Salad; basically potato & macaroni salad combined with crunchy onion bits & both yellow * stone-ground mustard.
Veggie cabobs; sweet (carrots & butternut squash glazed in corn syrup or honey) & or Italian style, glazed anything in olive oil & seasoning.
