Any ideas for vegetarian backpacking foods?

while ive been camping many times since i went vegetarian, i am just now finally going backpacking. the trouble is, i used to rely on MREs for food, even though they are big and heavy. while they do make vegetarian MREs, they are not easy to find, especially in the quantities that i need, and i was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for lightweight food. ones that last long are a plus as well.Any ideas for vegetarian backpacking foods?
Hopefully you'll have access to a pot to cook with and water to boil? If so, a bag of dried beans (or any other legume) would be a MUST. Rice would also be a good idea, but amaranth, quinoa, or buckwheat would be better because of their higher protein contents. Tofu jerky would also be good. I'd bring along a pouch of nuts and/or seeds for each day, and maybe some granola or cereal as well. Popcorn would be light, but unpopped kernels would take up less room. Either way, popcorn is a great starter for a filling trail mix. Be sure to bring some dehydrated fruit or fruit leather (make it yourself if you don't want that processed sugary crap.) Soup would be good too, probably in a dry-mix form since liquids are pretty heavy and you've already got water to contend with.



I'm sure I'm missing something, but this seems like a decent start to a list.

humus, cheese, a bag of mixed organic herbal salad, a small cucumber, fruit, wheat crackers, wheat bread, hard boiled free range eggs (leave in the shell until you are ready to eat them), olives, etc. Can you eat fish? I take wild salmon as well.
PB%26amp;J, hummus and veggies, trail mix, granola bars, quick oats/oatmeal, etc.

I would go with beer, peanuts, and a gun. No meat there bro.
Make your own trail mix with a variety of nuts, sunflower seeds, raisins and dried cranberries
