I'm aiming to make vegetarian meals at least 50% of the time, preferable closer to 75% (or so). I'm working on a meal plan for March right now, and this is what I have so far: </p> <p>-Spinach and cheese enchiladas<br /> -Linguine with zucchini and chickpeas<br /> -Quinoa patties with sweet potato fries<br /> -Honey and soy glazed salmon*<br /> -Black bean and cheese taquitos<br /> -Lentils and rice with caramelized onions<br /> -Cheddar and apple quesadillas<br /> -Curried eggplant with tomatoes and basil<br /> -Slow-scrambled eggs with mushroom ragu*<br /> -Butternut squash and spinach lasagna<br /> -Baked pasta with spinach, lemon and parm cheese<br /> -Orzo ratatouille (based off of smitten kitchen's baked orzo with eggplant and mozz)<br /> -Noodles and green beans in a spicy peanut sauce<br /> -Chickpea and spinach curry<br /> -Black bean chili<br /> -Rice and corn cakes with spicy black bean salsa<br /> -Eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce over fried polenta*</p> <p>*I know some people who don't consider eggs or fish to vegetarian, but we do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-607229 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:05:15 +0000 apis 607229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beehive: Never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-607227 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:04:29 +0000 .twist. 607227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is by far my fav veggie recipe, it calls for chicken broth, but you can sub it with veggie broth!</p> <p><a href="http://www.bestofbridge.com/2001/03/01/fresh-pear-and-curry-pasta/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bestofbridge.com/2001/03/01/fresh-pear-and-curry-pasta/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-607218 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 20:59:58 +0000 Beehive 607218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@apis: A little bit of pasta water...

I have been a vegetarian since I was 12 and my DH and I are always looking for new recipes. He likes meat but we eat mostly vegetarian for dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-606619 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:37:28 +0000 Mrs. Train 606619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made a weeks worth of vegetarian meals and every time my husband said this would be good with some chicken in it. Then one morning he got up and made his own breakfast so he could make bacon! But after a week I think I can add them in here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-606607 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:33:48 +0000 mrsjazz 606607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm bumping this thread. I need some more vegetarian dinner options--we are trying to cut down on our meat consumption, so I'm thinking of starting with a 4/3 (4 vegetarian/3 meat) combination.</p> <p>I need suggestions that also don't have beans as DH will probably only eat beans once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534989 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 17:01:31 +0000 Mrs. Train 534989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the ideas. So what are your staple proteins. I saw a lot of beans and eggs, are there other common vegetarian proteins? My husband is a meat and potato kinda of guy I need to fill him up or he is going to think I'm crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534959 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:49:18 +0000 Mrsbells 534959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spinach Quiche </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534952 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:45:24 +0000 blackbird 534952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.perrysplate.com/2011/03/stacked-roasted-vegetable-enchiladas.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.perrysplate.com/2011/03/stacked-roasted-vegetable-enchiladas.html</a></p> <p>YUM! </p> [attach=618/13/mheprp.500x334.5572765316_2fccee52d0.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534950 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:45:04 +0000 Tidybee 534950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i make a vegetarian chili (kidney beans, chickpeas and black beans) that's pretty impossible to screw up. Also, bean tacos -- just some black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes and some chili powder/taco seasoning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534948 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:42:52 +0000 lovehoneybee 534948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been making this Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Quinoa Chili a lot this winter. The only real changes I make are to use hot sauce (I use Frank's) instead of the Chipotle Tabasco and sour cream instead of greek yogurt (what I had). And I usually throw in an can of diced tomatoes because DH likes it, and make up a pan of cornbread muffins to go with it. </p> <p><a href="http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2012/10/black-bean-sweet-potato-and-quinoa-chili-with-smoked-chipotle/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2012/10/black-bean-sweet-potato-and-quinoa-chili-with-smoked-chipotle/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534945 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:41:37 +0000 KissMeCait 534945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only vegetarian meal that I make are spinach lasagna roll ups (we're actually having them tonight!). It's just lasagna shells, ricotta cheese, spinach, minced garlic, parmesan, tomato sauce and mozz cheese. These are certainly not as good for you as say... a plate of broccoli, but I guarantee they taste better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534939 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:38:59 +0000 tororojo 534939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enchiladas! You can make the filling w/black beans + veggies in lieu of animal. Stir fry is always good--egg + cashews for protein. Whole wheat pasta with veggies...not sure if that's diet friendly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534933 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:35:46 +0000 lavender 534933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tofu stirfry is always in rotation in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534932 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:34:30 +0000 MediaNaranja 534932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another good one would be quinoa stuffed peppers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534929 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:34:07 +0000 MediaNaranja 534929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love making a big pot of curried lentils with onion, carrot, peppers, etc. I like to serve over rice, and will sometimes do a fried egg on top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-vegetarian-dinners#post-534919 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:30:41 +0000 Mrs. Train 534919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been doing an 8 week weight loss challenge with some family and friends. Next week we get extra points for eating all your servings of veggies. So I want to do vegetarian dinners that week. I have absolutely no vegetarian recipes that I am good at so I need some ideas, i also have to be able to make it easily for 8 people. What are your favorite vegetarian recipes? </p>
