Ooo, I have a few things I love to make. Falafels, baked beans, spaghetti with veggie sauce, stuffed peppers, roasted veggies just by themselves, black beans with quinoa, lentil casserole, it's quite a long list actually! We usually do a couple of nights a week with no meat.

Broccoli and cheese quiche.

Those enchiladas look wonderful.

3. Prepare pasta as directed on package. Drain well. Place 1/2 of the roasted tomatoes and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in large bowl. Coarsely mash tomatoes. Add pasta and remaining roasted tomatoes; toss to mix well. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and additional crushed red pepper, if desired.

Baked eggplant parmesan with pasta.

Thin slice the eggplant, dip it egg and then bread crumbs, bake at 450* until crispy, top with mozzerella and return to oven to melt the cheese.....sorry about my spelling. My brain isn't working tonight.

I add chopped or ground ham to my Mac and Cheese, and my husband is like "THIS is dinner?!" I can't imagine what he'd say if I served him a meal with no meat in it.
