any easy to prepare vegetarian meals

Breakfast - 3 food groups

Or spoon sized fiber cereal in milk with nuts, raisins and ground flax seed*
Lunch, 3 food groups
- fried egg sandwich, with lettuce and tomato. I use natural ingredient mayonnaise**
- Potato salad, with egg, celery, lettuce, or crunchily cooked green beans, onions, natural salad dressing, ie, plant oil.
Supper, 3 food groups
- Pasta and cheese with milk, onions, cooked leafy veg, diced, tomato
- Spinach pizza with more than one type of cheese, onion, tomatoes or tomato sauce. Of course, if you make your own pizza dough, it will have eggs in it.
- Greenish salad - eggs, diced ripe cheese (cheddar), cooked pasta or potatoes, chilled, raw cabbage, lettuce, or celery or all 3, nuts, raisins, pickles or carrot relish, natural ingredient dressing.
