Answer 1

VEGETARIAN CHIMI CHANGAS

2 cloves garlic, chopped
10 medium mushrooms, sliced
1 large green pepper, sliced
1 medium-large onion, sliced
1 15 oz can black beans
1/2 cooked white or brown rice
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
10" tortillas
cooking oil
garlic powder
black pepper
crushed red pepper
onion salt

In a frying pan saute garlic cloves, mushrooms, green peppers, onions until soft but still slightly crisp. In a bowl mix cooked rice, black beans together. In another pan heat about 1/2" inch of cooking oil. Warm the 10" tortillas in the microwave until soft. Place a 1-2 large spoonfuls of rice and beans, top with a large spoon of vegetables, and sprinkle with mozarella cheese. Season to taste with garlic powder, onion salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. Fold in the edges tightly, and place folded edges down in hot oil. Brown each side until golden brown. serve on a bed of lettuce and tomatoes topped with guacamole, sour cream and salsa. Very tasty!!

SPICY VEGETARIAN CHILE

1 to 5 habanero peppers (your heat preference)
4 carrots
2 stalks of celery
1 granny smith apple (takes the heat off the habanero)
1 red onion
½ spanish onion
2 to 3 cloves of garlic / add more if you wish
4 tablespoons olive oil / more or less, up to you
1 28oz can tomato sauce
1 6oz can tomato paste
2 15oz cans diced tomatoes
1 can red kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can pink beans
4 tablespoons black pepper / or to taste
4 tablespoons salt / or to taste
8 tablespoons chili powder / or to taste
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
6 tablespoons of sugar (takes the acid out of the tomato)

Peel then grate the carrots with the large end of the cheese grater. Do the same with the celery (don't peel me) and the Granny Smith apple.
Dice the onions and slice the garlic. Remove seeds and chop the Habanero peppers into small or large pieces, your preference.

Brown the garlic and the onions for about 7-10 minutes. (Note: be careful not to overbrown garlic!)

Add the grated carrots and celery and cook for a few minutes more.

Add spices, beans, tomato sauce and tomato paste. Let the paste dissolve into the sauce then add the sugar. Then add the chopped Habaneros and simmer for 20 minutes.

If you are using 5 this chili is super hot. If you like it this way forget the Granny Smith. Add the Granny Smith apple and cook for 10 minutes more. The Granny Smith gives it even more body and a thick Chile results.

1 medium eggplant, fresh
1 pkg. frozen spinach
1 pkg. lasagna noodles
1 pkg. (pint, sm. one) low-fat cottage cheese
1 jar Favorite meatless sauce
1 sm. pkg. Mozzarella lite cheese
Salt and pepper
Several plump tomatoes
Parsley flakes

Defrost spinach, drain as much water out with a colander as possible. Cut eggplant in rounds thinly sliced, lay on paper towels and lightly salt, lay another paper towel on top and continue layering with eggplant rounds, salt, paper towel etc. Place a heavy pan on a cookie sheet on top of stack, let sit for at least 1/2 hour to 2 hours. Cook lasagna noodles until tender. Mix cottage cheese with spinach in a bowl, salt and pepper and season to taste. In a casserole pan, spread a light layer of sauce. Add layer of noodles, layer of eggplant, sauce, layer of cottage cheese, spinach mix, another layer of noodles and repeat process until pan is full or desired height achieved. Top with remaining Mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and cover evenly with thinly sliced peeled tomatoes. Sprinkle on parsley flakes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes, until eggplant is soft and has changed a brown color.

These are all yummy recipes for meat eaters and vegetarians!

Answer 4

These cookies go one step further, no meat or dairy. They are delicious...soft and chewy.

Vegan Oatmeal Cookies
1 mashed banana
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 of a cup sugar
slightly less than 1/3 of a cup (about 1/4 of a cup plus 1 teaspoon) of oil
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 of a teaspoon of salt
2-1/4 cups of oats
3 tablespoons of water plus maybe a few more drops
Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, set aside. Mix the brown sugar, sugar, oil, and water. Add the banana and vanilla. Add flour mixture. Stir in the oats. If it is too thin, let stand a bit so the oats can absorb the excess liquid. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 13 minutes.
Serves: about 3 dozen cookies

First, avoid allrecipes.com. There's no way to search for vegetarian stuff -- you can type in things to leave out, but in limited quantity, and you'd have to type in fifty things (if it was possible) to narrow it down. And the recipes are amateur -- untested, and often pretty bad.

But.

http://www.epicurious.com/ has excellent recipes, and a good search function; it has an option for "meatless," and the recipes are invariably good ones.

The BBC has a good collection of vegetarian recipes...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/vegetarian_and_vegan/
-- though one of their vegan recipes I tried was dreadful, the vegetarian ones are on the whole quite good.

The 'Vegetarian Times' people are pretty, well, vegetarian -- a little too into tofu for my tastes -- but their recipes work, and admittedly do a good job of making use of less-than-familiar foods.

If you want inspiration before actual recipes, try searching for "vegetarian restaurant," and checking out the menus of the ones on-line. You can find a recipe for _almost_ anything you can find on a menu via Google these days.

Answer 7

THE LAST MACARONI AND CHEESE YOU'LL EVER WANT
(it's so freaking good!!!)

4 tablespoons butter, plus 2 tablespoons, plus 1 tablespoon
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups half and half
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
8 1/2 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, or other good-quality parmesan cheese (about 2 cups)
1 pound elbow macaroni
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
4 ounces grated cheddar cheese
4 ounces grated fontina cheese
4 ounces grated gruyere cheese
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs

In a heavy, medium saucepan melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Add the flour and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and whisk in the half and half little by little. Cook until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat, season with the salt, pepper, and 4 ounces of the grated parmesan. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Cover and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt to taste and, while stirring, add the macaroni. Return to a boil, reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for about 5 minutes, or until macaroni is very al dente (slightly undercooked). Drain in a colander and return the macaroni to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the garlic and stir to combine. Add the bechamel sauce and stir until well combined. Set aside.
Using the remaining tablespoon of butter, grease a 3-quart baking dish or casserole and set aside.
In a large bowl combine 4 ounces of the remaining parmesan cheese, cheddar, fontina and gruyere cheeses. Toss to combine.
Place one-third of the macaroni in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with one-third of the mixed cheeses. Top with another third of the macaroni and another third of the cheese mixture. Repeat with the remaining macaroni and cheese mixture. In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs, remaining 1/2 ounce of grated parmesan, toss to combine. Sprinkle this over the top of the macaroni and cheese.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the macaroni and cheese is bubbly and hot and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
