Black beans mixed in a good organic rice with asian garlic chili paste to liking. The chili paste is a bit hot.

One of my favorite foods is meatless chile. Cooked exactly like regular chile but with walnuts substituted for meat. Yum!

Sorry! Didn’t see the no dairy. You can do it without cheese.

Simple and quick.
Sliced zucchini placed in a microwave dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Make layers.
Add 1T water.
Nuke for about 2-4 minutes depending on amount.
Top with warm spaghetti sauce.

Homemade minestrone soup

Step 1) Grab an apple.
Step 2) Bite apple.

Tabouli salad: bulgur wheat (or Tabouli "mix" ), I prefer Nile Spice brand as it comes with a wonderful seasoning packet. Soak the wheat over night per instructions, next day add in fresh parsley (chopped up), diced tomato and cucumber, mix herb/veggies with the wheat, add fresh squeezed lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil (first cold press is ideal).

OK, I have a vegan friend I cook for occasionally, I have a couple, this is the best.
500 grams or 1 pound of dried dates, 500mils or a pint of coconut cream, blend it and put in freezer, it will never freeze, stays soft, you can add chocolate or coffee to flavour, or vanilla, or not. Awesome ice cream substitute, I am continually making it for non vegetarian friends.

Haluski. Just substitute veggie Kielbasa, Bacon, Cheese, and margarine.

Salad. No croutons.

Chili. I usually use kidney beans, black beans, and pintos. One can of diced tomato, obe can of tomato sauce. Sometimes i'll add in corn, okra, vegetarian ground beef substitute, onion, peppers, and/or any other beans that catch my eye.

Asparagus, tossed in EVOO. Sprinkled liberally with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Cooked fast under the broiler so that its just slightly crispy.

Five pepper salsa - chop up and throw black beans, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, habaneros, black pepper, white pepper, green peppers, corn cilantro, basil, lime juice - hey whatever you have, right, in a fry pan, then cook it up for a while - then get some good chips and dig in when it cools off. Be safe.

I like to saute cubed tempeh in olive oil until lightly browned on most sides, then splash it with some tamari in the hot pan. Serve over brown rice with a little extra tamari, if desired. It's perhaps a bit too minimal, but it's easy, healthy and I think it tastes good. I love tempeh.

Lentil Loaf. I once served it to my carnivorous family, and they all wondered how I was cooking with meat - since I don't eat it . Dead ringer for meat loaf ! Simple - you cook lentils down till they're soft and mashable. Mash them up and then use your usual meat loaf recipe using the lentils mush instead of meat. To make it really convincing - add a cup of cooked bulgher - which adds the "chew".

My favorite salad is:
Spinach leaves
Black olives
Sunflower seeds
Light sprinkle of salt and pepper
Gallus gallus domesticus
Optional raisins
Generous balsamic
Top it off with some mix cheese

Gallus baked the normal way in olive oil with preferred seasoning.
