What are some simple vegetarian meals I can make?!
Answers:
Here are a few recipes I have tried so far
Loved this one. It was quick and easy. The longest it took was cutting veggies. (I added tofu the second time I made it)

This one was great for lunches (you can add cheese and sour cream if you are lacto-veg)

I like spicy, so I make extra of this spaghetti sauce and freeze some to eat on a busy night. It is so quick, you can make it from scratch in short time

I also suggest buying a cookbook. I just bought Vegan Express by Nava Atlas, and so far so good. The meals are quick and simple.
I was the same way when I first stopped eating meat I was bored of eating the same thing but I have learned a lot of different ways to cook things like if I make mac and cheese or spaghetti I mix vegetables in the sauce so its not so boring. If you eat fake meat like I do to make it more tasty I have these fake chicken patties and I put jalepenos and onions and I melt cheese on top of it its so good! I also cook diced potatoes and I melt cheese on it with hot sauce. You just have to find different ways to eat things and change it up so your not bored :)
Orange style tofu with broccoli:
Ingredients:
1 block tofu
1-2 cups broc.
4 scallions
3 teaspoons cornstarch
Canola oil
1 cup orange juice
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup warm water
2 tablespoon sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
Directions: cut tofu into strips. cover tofu with 3 teaspoons cornstarch. Fill bottom of pan with canola oil and fry tofu and remove when golden brown. Stir fry broc and scallions in another pan with a tablespoon of oil. Let sit on low after cooked. Combine orange juice, soy sauce, water, sugar, and cornstarch and boil. Pour over tofu and add broc/scallions. Stir until sauce thickens. Great with rice!
I have been looking to transition to a vegetarian diet and my research landed me
at this great resource with tons of vegetarian recipes. I think my transition will
be a lot easier with all of these recipe ideas. There is stuff I didn't even think
possible! Enjoy...
