I’m going to college next year and i will be living with three of my friends. I’m the only one with cooking experience but i usually cook meat. I want to try the vegetarian thing with my friend but i need ideas for good quick and easy recipes. Any ideas?
I believe someone already sent you the link to Peta’s Vegan College Cookbook. GET IT. it’s vegan, but it has good ideas for recipes. I bought one over christmas break, and I use mine religiously.
Ramen is one of my favorites. Oriental Delight though, the beef, chicken, shrimp flavors aren’t vegetarian-friendly. I like to add some frozen vegetables before i microwave the ramen, Then sprinkle some Nutritional Yeast on top (one tablespoon has 8 grams of protein!).
Oatmeal is another very easy thing to make. Get a grinder so you can add some flaxseeds (contain omega-3′s which is found in seafood that we don’t eat). Top with Bananas.
Veggie burgers are microwavable and simple to eat. Add tofu fries for some extra protein (http://www.ehow.com/how_2301315_make-tofu-french-fries.html) or (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=19606.0 for a simple recipe).
Basic things you need in order to do it right:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for baking veggies, tofu, salad dressing, etc.)
Seasonings (try getting some at the dollar store)
Nutritional Yeast (a nutty – cheesy substance for spaghetti, ramen, etc)
Flaxseeds (healthy fats)
Peanut Butter (healthy fats and protein)
Any other questions, feel free to ask me.
This may be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s in the title!

Here’s my delicious minestrone soup recipe, to make it vegetarian you just use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock
