Do you have a Bread and Circus or other health food store near you? They tend to have a lot of interesting foods that are vegetarian. I am not a big meat eater so I often go for things like hummus and other middle eastern foods and rices. They have lots of flavor. Also, try some different veggies. I like spaghetti sguash as a main dish.

I have a whole bunch and will e-mail you some tonight. Right now, I am late for work.

The BEST BEST BEST cookbook is:
Lean and Luscious and Meatless by Bobbie Hinman & Millie Snyder
I kept my friend's copy so long, she had to insist I give it back (I was duly ashamed) But after a week or two without it I had to break down and buy it. The desserts are incredible and it is just the most complete, easy to use vegetarian cookbook I've ever seen. Every recipe I've used has been great. Maybe you could find it on half.com or something.

Have you tried [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] yet? It has some really good recipes for things that you would get in restaurants like the Outback, Olive Garden, Mrs.Fields. I saw that they have the recipe for Campbell's vegetable soup. Just a thought.

something like 'moosewood restaraunt' or something is suppopsed to be a rockin' vegetarian cookbook, i know my retail barnes and noble has it for a bargin book for under $6 and it is sized perfectly for a counter and has is spiral bound but sits upright and you just flip pages....

also 'diet for a small planet' has an excellent vegetarian recipe section....

you also might want to do searchs for vegetarian magazines online cuz i'm sure you can access their recipes....

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] also might have a veggie section

Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone, by Deborah Madison, is my all-time favorite vegetarian cookbook. So far, everything I've tried has been wonderful, and I've tried a lot! It's not cheap, but it's a great investment.

I,too, am an ovo-lacto vegetarian and have been for 11 years. A few suggestions: visit [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] website for recipes to use with Morningstar Farms products--they are my favorite and are delish!! Also, I have several recipes that I will email you this week. Here's a couple of my favs:

Black Bean Soup

Step 1.
10 sun dried tomatoes, not oil packed
1 cup boiling water

In a small bowl, put tomatoes and cover with water. Set aside.

Step 2.
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 to 1 minced jalapeno pepper (Leave out pepper seeds unless you like it very hot!)
2 tbsp. vegetable oil

Sauté all Step 2 ingredients in oil until onion is transparent

Step 3.
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 cup water
3 cups (28 ounces) canned, diced, undrained tomatoes

Add ingredients from Step 2 and Step 3 in a large pot; cover. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4.
2 16-ounce cans undrained black beans
1/4 cup cilantro
sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese
bread bowls*

Add to pot. Heat at low temperature. Drain and chop sundried tomatoes from Step 1. Add to soup and simmer 5 to 10 minutes, adding water if it is too thick. Serve in bread bowls and garnish with sour cream and cheese, if desired.

*Try to find somewhat small, round loaves of bread (about the size of a soup bowl). Cut off the top of the bread and hollow out the middle, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread on the sides and bottom. You can eat the “bowl” along with the soup!

Boston Market Squash Casserole

Ease of Cooking: Easy
Serving Size: 8

Notes:
This is a wonderful way to dress up your standard squash casserole.

Ingredients:
4 1/2 C. Zucchini (diced)
4 1/2 C. Yellow Squash (diced)
1 1/2 C. Yellow Onion (chopped)
1 Box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (prepare as directed on box)
1 1/2 Stick of Butter
8 oz. American Processed Cheese (diced, use a store brand not Velveta)
3 Cubes of Chicken Bouillon
1 tsp. Garlic (minced)
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Ground Pepper
1/2 tsp. Thyme
1 Tbsp. Parsley (chopped

Preparation:
Prepare Jiffy Mix as directed, set aside to cool.

Place zucchini and yellow squash in a large sauce pan and add just enough of water to cover. Cook on medium low heat just until tender, remove from heat. Drain squash, reserve one cup of water for casserole. On medium low temperature place all of the butter in large sauce pan and sauté the onions until the onions turn clear. Add chicken bouillon cubes and garlic to onions, stir. Add drained squash and diced cheese, stir. Crumble corn bread in squash and pour the reserved cup of water and mix well.

Place squash mixture in a 13"x11" baking pan that has been sprayed with a none stick spray. Cover casserole and place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes. Remove cover the last 20 minutes of baking time.

I will send you more as I uncover them and/or have time to type them up! I'll also send you a link to a vegetarian cooking newsletter that I get! Good luck to you!

Okay I need help. My neighbor, who has moved away, made lasagna with eggplant for me one night. It was very good!! If anyone knows of a recipe for it, I would really appreciate it!!!!!

[prism68]

g,
I don't know if you've found a recipe yet (been out of town all week) but here is something similar you might like:

Mediterranean Lasagne Rolls

Ingredients:
8 oz. lasagne noodles, uncooked
Sauce-
1 lb. kidney beans (canned), rinsed and drained
1 lb. can tomato sauce
1 lb. can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Filling-
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 cups eggplant, peeled, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1 cup chopped onions
1 tsp. dried basil
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

To prepare sauce:
Place kidney beans in a large bowl. Mash with a fork then add remaining sauce ingredients and mix well. Set aside.

To prepare filling:
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over med. heat. Add garlic, eggplant, onions and basil. Cook stirring frequently, 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Spoon into a large bowl and add ricotta. Mix well.
Cook lasagne noodles according to package directions. Drain. Put noodles in a single layer on a sheet of waxed paper (keeps them from sticking together).
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Lightly oil a 7 X 11 inch baking pan or spray with a nonstick cooking spray.

To assemble rolls:
Spread 1/4 cup of filling down the length of each piece of lasagne. Roll up tightly. With a sharp knife, cut rolls in half crosswise.
Spread 1-1/2 cups of sauce in bottom of prepared pan. Place rolls, ruffled edge up, over sauce. Spoon remaining sauce over rolls.
Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes.


Enjoy! Hope this helps

I grow all of my own vegetables in the summer time, and this is my all time favorite for yellow/crook-neck squash:

Slice squash into 1/4" slices.

Put a couple of drops of tabasco sauce on each and spread evenly with your finger.

Roll each slice in seasoned FLOUR (salt and pepper, or seasoned salt). Shake off excess.

Dip in egg.

Roll in corn flake crumbs until well coated.

Fry in oil until golden brown on each side (I try to only turn once).

Serve hot out of the frying pan and enjoy!

WARNING: These are more addicting than potato chips! I could survive on these alone all summer long!

another great site is [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] they have a great vegetarian recipe database along with a pull down menu that lets you see the 'top 10' recipes in any category including vegetarian

[Sirah3]

It is like the greatest site ever! lol

All Recipes is great too - tons of recipes there.

Vegsource has all sorts of chatboards, from vegetarianism to parenting, to Star Trek (!), and a HUGE recipe directory.

If you stop by - be sure to say hello (hee hee). I am Jennivere there - I'm usually only
on the Grassroots Veganism Board and in the Pub (general chat).
