Lately for breakfast I've been having a smoothie (banana, frozen berries, kale, and scoop of brown rice protein powder), lunch is a hummus and veggie sandwich/leftovers/soup, dinner is the biggest variable throughout the week. I posted a few ideas in the 'skinny *****' post, but here's a few in regular rotation.
- curry: lots of chickpea/spinach curries or cauliflower/potato ones. Usually with red lentil dal and brown rice or quinoa.
- stir fry: tofu, broccoli, onions, carrots, bok choy, really whatever veggies we have lying around. Either with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, or a peanut sauce.
- chili: chili beans, tomatoes, sweet potato, maybe some tvp or bulgar to thicken it up.
- roasted veggies and baked tofu: veggies with olive oil and herbes de provence and tofu baked in mix of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and spices. Usually some baguette with this too.
- Middle Eastern Night!: hummus, tabouli, stuffed grape leaves, lots of cut veggies for dipping, pita, maybe ful medames (Egyptian fava beans)
- pizza: whole grain crust, tomato sauce, veggies, and sometimes daiya vegan cheese or tofu ricotta.
Really, I just wing it but there are lots of awesome cookbooks out there. I can't recommend Isa Chandra Moskowitz's books enough. 'Veganomicon', 'Vegan with a Vengeance', and 'Appetite for Reduction'. For me those made me realize how delicious, easy, quick, and healthy vegan cooking could be. I also love my 'How to Cook Everything Vegetarian' book by Mark Bittman. It's not all vegan but most of it can be and has hundreds of recipes. I have lots of others but I use those most. There are also some great vegan blogs with recipes it you want to check out a few that way. Maybe look around your local library and see what they have.
