What to eat for a vegetarian lunch?

My boyfriend and I have recently gone vegetarian and are having a difficult time with deciding what to eat for lunch. So far, every day it's been grilled cheese sandwiches and PB%26amp;J.



Any suggestions on fast, easy, tasty vegetarian (not vegan) lunch recipes?What to eat for a vegetarian lunch?
there is a ton of things you can eat, tossed salads, fruit salads, pasta dishes, veggie pizza, soup.... the possibilities are endless!!
101 things that you can do with mushrooms.



Apart from mushrooms, how about baked potato, spicy beans, veggie burger, nutloaf, stuffed peppers, lentils, salad, tomatoes on toast, polenta



Ratatouille is nice on toast or with potatoes.



If you want to be more adventurous take a look at "Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Meals in minutes" Cookbook. It is well illustrated and will give you plenty of tasty ideas.



Another thing I have tried recently, is to slice some potatoes and fry them in a little Satay sauce (which you can buy ready made really cheap.) Some pasta with a little pesto stirred in also works as an easy filler.



Supermarkets sell afffordable packs of stir fry vegetables, which you can cook in a couple of minutes.



Quorn Burgers will cook well in a microwave , and you can buy the Quorn equivalent of flavour chicken pieces for lunches.



Cous cous is very quick, but be wary of packet cous cous which is very high in salt.



You could invest in a slow cooker for 拢20 and make your own delicious soupsWhat to eat for a vegetarian lunch?
Bean burritos are good, healthy and quick to make! I use black beans, tomato salsa, onions, and shredded cheddar cheese. Roll in a tortilla and bake for 10 minutes.

Also, black bean and corn salsa w/ cheese enchiladas are really good.

You can make vegetarian chili the night before and have it for lunch the next day or two. Use black beans, kidney beans, red peppers, green peppers, onion, garlic, zucchini and diced tomatoes. Season with cumin, chili powder, cayenne, and paprika. It is delicious with bread, rice or tortilla chips!
Well, what did you eat before you became vegetarian?

Burritos or quesadillas are always quick, protein filled and delicious.

You can also get fake sliced meat for sandwiches, which may sound kinda gross, but I think it's pretty good. I actually just made myself a sandwich for lunch tomorrow with fake bacon in it.

Try cooking up some AAA Alberta beef and some bacon on the BBQ. Then toast up some fresh rye bread (or other) and toss down some lettuce, the bacon, tomatoes, and sauce of choice, don't forget to slice the steak and toss it down... A fresh vegetarian lunch...
Anything except meat of course. Soups,salads,sandwiches,pizza,burritos,

tacos. Just replace the meat with a veggie substitute.
salads are always good, especially when you mix it up and try some salads from different cultures. then there's always fruit, vegetables, bread, pasta.. there's tons of things out there
If you want something hot try foods by Morning Star. I love them and they don't take long at all! They have "meats" made out of veggies :) my fav is the buffilo wings.
