Armenian Lentil Soup, It's really easy to make (if you don't mind chopping a lot of veggies) and the taste is just unbelievably good. You really should try it - I was skeptical at first and then couldn't believe how much I loved it. :)

In Greek: ρεβιθόσουπα (pronounced reh-vee-THOH-soo-pah)
A Greek standard, what this soup lacks in appearance it makes up for in taste. As always with Greek soups, the olive oil gets added at the very end. It's a great choice for vegetarians and vegans as well.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup of dried chickpeas
6-8 cups of water
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of flour
fresh lemon
PREPARATION:
Prepare the Chickpeas
The night before, soak the chickpeas in a bowl with plenty of water (they will double in size). The next day, drain and rinse well, and place in another bowl of water with the baking soda for 30 minutes
Rub them with your hands to remove any skins, drain, and rinse well.
Cook the Soup
Place the chickpeas and water in a pot and bring to a boil. As the water boils, skim off the foam that forms on the top. Reduce heat to low, add the onions, cover, and let simmer until the chickpeas are soft - about 2 hours. If needed, add more water (boiling) during cooking.
Add salt and olive oil, cook a few minutes longer. In a cup, mix the flour and the juice of 2 lemons. When smooth, add 2 tablespoons of soup liquid and stir. Add to chickpeas, cook for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (or with lemon wedges on the side).
Note About Chickpeas: Because not all chickpeas are created equal, after the soak with baking soda, no skins may rub off. This is fine.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with crusty bread and a side of feta cheese.

ROASTED VEGETABLE LASAGNA (not vegan)
2 med. green red or yellow bell peppers, each cut into eighths
1 med. onion, cut into 8 wedges
1 lg. zucchini, cut into 2-inch pieces (or 2 cups)
6 sm. red potatoes, cut into quarters
1 pkg. (8 oz.) whole mushrooms, cut into halves
1 Tbsp. olive or vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. peppered seasoned salt
2 tsp. chopped fresh or 1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves
9 uncooked lasagna noodles (9 oz.)
1 container (15 oz.) ricotta cheese
1/2 cup basil pesto
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 cups shredded provolone cheese (8 ounces)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
Warm spaghetti sauce (optional)
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray bottom and sides of a jelly roll pan, 15 1/2 x10 1/2x1" with cooking spray. Place the first 8 ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat. Spread veggies in pan. Bake uncovered about 30 minutes or until crisp tender. Cool slightly.
Reduce oven temp to 350. Spray bottom and sides of rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches with cooking spray. Cook and drain noodles per package directions. Mix ricotta cheese, pesto and egg. Coarsely chop vegetables.
Place noodles lengthwise in baking dish, spread with half the ricotta mixture. Top with 2 cups vegetables and 1 cup provolone cheese. Repeat layers starting with noodles. Top with remaining 3 noodles and remaining vegetables. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Bake uncovered 40 to 50 minutes or until hot in center and golden brown. Let stand 4 minutes before cutting.
Serve with spaghetti sauce on top if desired.
My cooks notes:
I always serve this with the sauce - I also put just a little sauce in the bottom of the pan before I do the first layer. For the provolone cheese I just buy the pre shredded "Mixed Italian Cheese" that the market has. I also have a tendency to increase the cheese just a bit. Anyway - it's super yummy!

i'm sorry, yet you rather hit the nail on the pinnacle with that final remark: 'and we are in good shape.' i grew to become into prepared to assume that the 'annoying and have no morality' remark grew to become into at people who hate you specifically, yet in spite of this that's no longer precisely going to alter human beings's minds in the event that they think of vegetables are conceited and act-superior, as they do, and as you're performing now. The in good shape remark grew to become into purely pointless cocking a snook at meat eaters, and in case you ask your self why human beings dislike you that'll be the main reason. human beings do in comparison to communities of persons going around asserting 'your eating regimen's much less healthful than ours and we are lots extra ethical and superior to you'. ok, so it pronounced infrequently in those words, yet that's often the gist. Ever ask your self why the only clarification for vegetarianism seen as real looking by making use of the final public of meat eaters is 'i do no longer in straight forward terms like the style'? because of the fact that's the only one that does no longer say they element meat is incorrect in some way, no count if or no longer they say as lots or no longer, and persons do in comparison to being advised their eating regimen's incorrect.
