any easy to prepare vegetarian meals

Think food groups, or nutrition.

Proteins:
baking beans
nuts
cheese
Other dairy, ie. yoghurt*.....
milk.
eggs


Fruit:
Oranges have more fiber than tangerines
apples
blueberries
grapefruit
raisins.......
tomatoes

Vegetables,
green, ie, crunchy
beans with pods
celery
spinach, lettuce.....

ish greenish - carrots, peas, squash and others that get soft when cooked

Starchy, ie strong on carbohydrates,
potatoes
corn


Other carbohydrates:
old fashioned flour, yes it has seriously changed to come out with a more even rise. (talk to your health food store)

cereal with fibre.

===============
Breakfast - 3 food groups
ie. orange, rice cakes or oatcakes, milk. No preparation needed

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.

* great laxatives
** Nutritionists say our bodies absorb natural foods more easily

Just leave the chicken out if you want:

1 onion (chopped)
3 gloves garlic (minced)
1 can kidney beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can chili beans
1 can roasted diced tomatoes
1 can rotelo (chopped tomato and pepper)
1 beer (minus 1/3 to drink for yourself as you cook ;)
1 bell pepper (chopped)
1 rotesserie chicken or 4 cooked breasts (chopped or shredded)
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet ranch dressing
1 teaspoon chili powder

Sauté onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil until onion is clear. Dump in all the above ingredients without draining the cans prior. That's it. Heat and I serve with avocado, green onions, cheese, sour cream and over tortilla chips. It's better on day 2.

Grab a carrot, sprinkle with a little salt, insert in mouth .... bite ... chew ... swallow! Simple vegetarian!

I recently completed a workamping position at Johnson's of St. Mary, Montana at the east gate of Glacier National Park. At the world famous Johnson restaurant I was introduced to barley and when I told a friend about it she introduced me to bulgur. Both are easy to cook, very healthy and go well with vegan meals.

Burritos, quesadillas, scrambled eggs, omelets, rice/bean/whatever bowls with salsa or teriyaki sauce

No recipes needed for these.
