I'm trying to find some easy vegetarian meals, as I'd like to cut back on spending so much on meat. Please share or link to your favorite recipes! Or, if you don't have the recipe handy, just share what kind of meal it is.

This is a big favorite in our house even with my meat and potatoes husband!
-
@MamaMoose: That looks delicious! I printed it out. Thanks

@Pepper: skinny taste buffalo chicken wraps (minus the chicken for me!)
Buffalo cauliflower
Garlic pasta with broccoli & cauliflower
Marinara pasta with fresh bruschetta
Ziti bake
Eggplant Parmesan
Black bean & rice tacosClearly I'm an overweight vegetarian..
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: Ok, these sound amazing! Buffalo Cauliflower? yummmmm. Do you use the skinny taste recipe for that one too?
-
@Pepper: I *think* it's skinny taste?! I basically pull apart a head of cauliflower, dip it in egg and bread crumbs then coat with hot sauce and bake... Then I eat the whole damn head of cauliflower.

Sweet potato burritos (I make these in big batches and freeze them. I also use all black beans in them and mash everything up. D is crazy about them).

Corn and rice cakes with black bean salsa (really quick if you have leftover rice).

Butternut squash, caramelized onion and spinach lasagna
We're also big on soups...lentil soup, potato soup, butternut squash bisque (although I think all of them are improved with the addition of bacon
)

We make chickpea tacos a lot. Not really a recipe but we get canned chickpeas, sautée with onions and peppers. Add taco seasonings and let it cook down so the chickpeas are soft and have absorbed all the taco spice flavor. Then serve with whatever taco toppings you like! Quick, easy and super inexpensive!
-
@lovehoneybee: Wow!! Thank you so much for these! Those sweet potato burritos sound amazing.
@twodoghouse: That sounds great, and so easy! I'm a big fan of quick and easy.

I love Brussels sprouts during the cooler months. I made this last week and it was so tasty.
-
@Pepper: They're great! Probably D's second-favorite thing that I make! And they freeze really well!
-
@Pepper: if you want to wall me your email I can send you a bunch! They're all saved as word docs so I don't want to make this thread 500 pages long copy/pasting
It's been a slow process but we're now to 2 meatless meals a week -- and sometimes DH doesn't even faux-complain about it 
-
@scg00387: I would love the doc too! I will wall you my email address.
-
@scg00387: Ahh you're the best! Walling you!
-
@Kimberlybee: Brussels Sprouts are so good. Will give that a go, too!

I love this salad so much. It is seriously delicious.

There's this awesome vegetarian food/cooking blog called thugkitchen.com and not only are the recipes so so deliscious, it is hilarious! Warning: the reason I find it so funny is that it's written with a "thug" dialect and has foul language so if you're offended by that then you probably won't like it as much as I do! The author wants to break stereotypes about what kind of people write food blogs and care about what they put in their bodies, which I also find awesome
ETA: this pic is from the blog, which sums up the tone and what kind of food/recipes they post
-
I second @MamaMagpie:'s vote for Thug Kitchen.
Also, my husband makes a sheppard's pie with tofu that's to die for. And one of my go to's is "taco pizza." Feel free to wall me for details!
We also do a lot of stir fries with just whatever veggies we have that need to be used.
