New - Looking for all veg based foods

[Guest guest]

New here but been a vegetarian for about 9 years now. Trying to cut

down on the weight lazy vegetarianism put on (ie mass cheez it

consumption) and so since 01/06 have been eating much better and

exercising more. I work a 9 - 5 which is pretty uninspiring so I'm a

bored/idle eater. Looking for main dishes I can make Sundays and

spread out over the week. I've done an all veg lasagna, stuffed

peppers/mushrooms, soups/stews (but since we're getting into warmer

weather not so much on those) hummus and veggies, etc. I eat a minimal

of grains and when I do they're whole (ezekiel breads/tortillas,

vermont breads, brown rice, bulgur etc - but 1 - 2 servings a day,

though i'll admit i got a soft spot for total cereal)i love nearly all

veggies but oniony onions and love all cusines (though asian falls low

on the list)

 

i'm 23, in new jersey and working in the social services (but i hate nj

and plan to move home to buffalo soon)

Niki - We havea casserole folder. Also, I will often chop up veggies

for teh week to make evening cooking easier. Anyway, last night I

made (for the rest of the week) the tempeh choucroute garnie posted

yesterday, the chipotle black bean burgers (will make the yogurt sauce

tomorrow as that's when I plan to eat them), a lentil loaf, and a

baked tofu. I often make a week's worth of brown basmati rice at a

time, or quinoa. (I make steel cut oatmeal for breakfast too, several

days' worth at once, and reheat.)

Buffalo is nice. I loved it when I was there, except the wind in the

winter!! :-)
