Answer
If you want to learn to cook, that is great. It's a very important step for veg people. All of those frozen and prepackaged meals are inexcusably overpriced. Foods containing only plant products should be CHEAPER and NOT pricier.

These are some of my favorite things to eat:
Breakfast: bananas, cream of wheat with brown sugar and soy butter, cereal, pancakes or french toast with real maple syrup, vegan "sausage" patties, smoothies.
Lunch: VEGAN "SAUSAGE" SANDWICHES, sandwiches with vegan deli slices(Tofurkey is the only one that's kinda funky), fruit, dinner leftovers, couscous salad, vegan sushi, potato or pasta salad.
Dinner: sloppy joes, "sausage" and gravy with homemade biscuits, Spaghetti and Trader Joe's "meatballs" or TVP, lasagna, Thai pad see ew, pad khi mao(drunkard's noodles), tofu+eggplant with basil sauce, yellow thai curry with tofu or vegan chikn and veggies and jasmine rice, Indian dal with homemade roti or dosai, channa masala, aloo gobi, vegetable or minestrone soup, pizza, STEAMED "PORK" BUNS with potstickers or spring rolls

What is a good vegetarian meal that is healthy, and doesn't involve crazy foods, like soy or tofu?¿?
Blondie
I am not a fan of onions or tomatoes, and I am tired of pasta. What's a quick and easy meal for a vegetarian (lacto-ovo)?
Answer
Get some of the Mollie Katzen "Moosewood Cafe" books. They are excellent and demonstrate a lot of variety. Once upon a time I was a vegetarian. Often, though, I was the only one eating veggie so I came up with some meals that didn't require eating leftovers, were quick and fairly economical. Some of my favorite meals from my time as a vegetarian (I am lapsed at this point):
A twice-baked potato stuffed with broccoli and cheese. Just bake a potato, allow it to cool until you can handle it. Cut off the top and scoop out most of the insides. Transfer the insides to a bowl, add broccoli florets (even frozen work well - you could also do broccoli/cauliflower mix) and your favorite cheese to bowl and combine with the potato. Add salt and pepper to taste, and if the potato mixture is too dry to hold together at all, add a little milk or vegetable broth. Stuff the mixture back into the potato and pop back into the oven for 10-15 minutes. You can also stuff squash (particularly butternut squash) and large mushrooms.
One of my favorite veggie sandwiches used one of those veggie burger patties (try around to find the one that suits you best. I thought Boca tasted most like meat, but Gardenburger had the best flavor). Saute the patty in a pan over medium heat alongside some sliced mushrooms (the patty will probably be done before mushrooms - no worries, just remove the patty to a plate and wait for the rest to be done. When the mushrooms are soft and have browned a bit, salt and pepper them and then put on top of the patty. I usually added a slice of mozarella or swiss cheese and ate it on a Kaiser roll or hamburger bun dressed with mayo. Add the fixings of your choice (my favorite was sliced tomato, a thin slice of raw red onion, lettuce, and sprouts, but sometimes I added some avocado also.
Pita bread with hummus, baba ghanouj, or some other dip and a side salad. If you have never had these dips I highly recommend them. Good recipes that have been rated by people who tried them out can be found on www.epicurious.com and www.recipezaar.com. Since these sources are searchable, they are good sources for all sorts of new recipes. Don't be afraid to try different cuisines! Indian food especially is notorious for being excellent vegetarian fare. You must try it.
Good luck!
