A simple dish my boyfriend and I share often (we're both vegetarians as well) is whole wheat pasta with meatless garlic tomato sauce and Parmesan or Romano cheese (if you still do dairy products).
What's really tasty for breakfast is oatmeal made with fat free soy milk, cinnamon and raisins.
Stir fry made with soy sauce, broccoli, pineapple and tofu is yummy too.
A simple salad of romaine hearts, raw spinach, shredded carrots, Parmesan cheese and fat free Italian salad dressing makes a great lunch.
Romaine hearts are also good with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing, raisins and walnuts or chopped almonds and Gorgonzola cheese.
Steamed veggies are definitely a staple dinner menu item for vegetarians. Asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms, etc.
Organic apple sauce (because most apple sauces contain high fructose corn syrup and a ton of sugar you don't need) with ground cinnamon...mmm...also apple or pear slices dipped in peanut butter.
Dried fruit like prunes are fat free, great sources of fiber and a good snack.
Watermelon, when it's in season. It's good for your digestive system, low in calories and freaking delicious...over the summer I hate like half a whole watermelon a day!!
