what should I eat for lunch?

Question

I'm vegetarian not vegan, but I don't eat hardly any dairy. So far I have some green peas in the microwave. Any suggestions would be appreciated (and please post recipes).

Answer 1

Is there a "Trader Joes" in your neighborhood? They have an excellent selection of alternative meat dishes. They have a "spinach salad" 'kit' that is Delicious, complete with it's own salad dressing. My wife embellishes it with avocado slices and these little "Bell " shaped yellow tomatoes. With a slice of warm garlic bread and you are in for a treat. Oh , the green peas, try getting some steamed rice and mixing them together and have a rolled up warmed corn totilla handy ( a little butter and salt on that tortilla pls.)

Cheese and Veggie Sandwiches

Ingredients
1-1/2 cups cottage cheese, drained
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1/2 teaspoon finely snipped chives
1/4 cup chopped green pepper or celery
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
8 small slices whole grain bread
2 tablespoons horseradish mustard
Spinach or lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices

Directions
1. In a medium mixing bowl combine the cottage cheese, carrot, chives, and green pepper or celery. Stir in the yogurt.

2. Spread the bread slices with horseradish mustard; top with spinach or lettuce leaves. Spoon the cheese mixture onto half of the bread slices. Top with a tomato slice and remaining bread slices. Makes 4 servings.

Crunchy Vegetable Wraps

4 Tbsp. Tofutti cream cheese, your favorite flavor (or any nondairy cream cheese)
4 10-inch flour tortillas
1 cup shredded spinach
1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup sliced avocado
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup diced cucumbers
2 Tbsp. finely diced red onion
Salt and pepper, to taste

• Spread one tablespoon of cream cheese over each tortilla. Sprinkle an even amount of the remaining ingredients on each wrap; roll up

Marinated Tofu Sandwich
Tofu has the ability to absorb flavour, so marinating it has impressive results. Baking accents this flavour and creates a hearty texture.

1 lb. extra-firm tofu
1 cup barbecue sauce (or sweet and sour sauce/ spicy salsa/ or olive oil with your favourite seasoning)
4 whole wheat sandwich rolls
Sautéed onions, diced bell peppers, etc.

• Drain the tofu and cut it in half horizontally to make two pieces.
• Wrap the tofu in a clean towel, carefully press it between two baking sheets with a small weight on top to remove excess water (don’t crush the tofu), and refrigerate for an hour or more.
• Unwrap the tofu and place in a shallow baking dish. Spoon 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce over the tofu, cover the baking dish and let the tofu marinate in the fridge for at least several hours. The longer the tofu marinates (up to 5 days) the more flavourful it will be.
• Place the marinated tofu on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 1 hour.
• Slice the sandwich rolls open, cut the tofu into thin slices, and divide it among the rolls. Mix the sautéed onions, bell peppers, etc., with the remaining barbecue sauce and spoon over the sandwiches.

Answer 4

I put green peas in my pasta salad, as well as lots of other stuff. Mayonnaise, mustard, eggs, pickle relish, cheese, grated carrots, chopped celery, onions, I also put tuna in it, but I guess that wouldn't work for you. Have a nice lunch!

Answer 5

pasta is always good, I have a vegitarian friends, she eats pastas and fish a lot. pasta with peas, beans, onions, peppers or zucini or other vegis are really good. salads with a bunch of toppings like chick peas and oranges and nuts are good. penut butter is a great source of protein too, and it goes with so many toppings... honey, jelly, pumpkin spread, or marshmellow spread with peanut butter is great:)
