A friend had her baby over the weekend, and I'm signed up to take her a meal in the next two weeks. They are not strictly vegetarian or vegan, but I know that is more their preference for health reasons. I'm at a loss as to what to bring her. I'm looking for a meal that is vegetarian, preferably low or no dairy, and not pasta. Everyone else has signed up to bring her a pasta dish! Any ideas? I'm stumped!

Winter Vegetable Chili is a favorite of mine. I make a few edits to the recipe but I know people I've shared it with like it both ways (original and with my edits). http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/recipefinder/winter-vegetable-chili-2165
My edits: switch butternut squash to sweet potatoes. switch black beans to red kidney beans. leave out cilantro.

A big salad with lots of fixings (on the side so they can pick out things they don't like). After all those pasta dishes, they will love a good salad!!
-
Oh wait, vegetarian/vegan. That changes my answer!
-
bean and roasted vegetable enchiladas maybe? or tofu as the filling. you could make it without any or much cheese, and that's a good thing that can be heated up or frozen easily.

I make a black bean and spinach enchilada with a butternut squash sauce. Some dairy, but not a lot. I also make a sweet potato, black bean and quinoa chili, but I don't know if it's too warm for that where you are. You could also make up a bunch of veggie burgers or something that they can have in the freezer and pull out later.

veggie chilli, crudites with hummus (good on the go just dip and run)
-
I like to take a nice vegetarian soup that could be heated up either on the stove or in the crock-pot.
-
@nana87: that's what I was going to suggest too.
-
Veggie taco salad with lots of topping options! Yummmmm!!
Lettuce
Black beans
Corn
Salsa
Chips
Cheese
Avocado
Tomatoes
Onions
Sour cream
CilantroDelish!!!
You could just package the ingredients and they could put the salads together themselves.

Someone brought us a pot of veggie soup, so all we had to do was stick it on the stove to heat up., They also brought us homemade bread. It was my favorite meal (not so much DH's... haha)
-
what about a quinoa salad? there are a lot of good ones on 101cookbooks.com
-
spaghetti squash pad thai, black bean and rice skillet, quiche, vegetarian shepherds pie, bean chili, veggie sloppy joe mix & buns?
-
What about a loaf of banana bread or some homemade muffins? They'll need stuff for breakfast and they could also snack on it throughout the day.
-
There are lots of tasty quinoa casseroles! @skipper2010 has a good point too - you could also do an egg casserole.
I LOVED won-ton/egg roll wrapper appetizers that I made before LO arrived because they were easy to reheat. I made mine as tiny little sausage pizzas but you could put whatever you wanted in them. Just cook ingredients, spoon them in, use water to seal the wrapper in a triangle and bake at 350 for 10 minutes, and then freeze... could do spinach & cheese, beans & rice, etc.
