I’m allergic to sea foods and dairies and I can’t stand the taste of meats. I could eat eggs with no problem, and beans upset my stomach sometimes. Regarding all those problems, can someone suggest some simple vegetarian lunch/dinner recipes? Thanx!
My personal fave, and way easy, is to make a veggie soup – basically whatever veggies you like, but I like carrots, celery, tomato chunks, potatoes and squash, with a whole grain like barley, brown rice or quinoa (keen-wa), and season however you like (I personally like a few cloves of chopped garlic and most of a bunch of chopped cilantro). This is somewhat Tex-Mex (regional Mexican variation, not true authentic Mexican food), but definitely tasty! Also, use less water to make it more hearty and less broth-y, if you want to feel fuller.

I could list specific recipes I have come up with or modified or whatever for days but that would take time I don’t have so here are some good places to find great recipes:
http://www.vegandad.blogspot.com/ (A favorite of myself and many friends, though sometimes you might need to add more spices because some of the stuff is a little bland but all really good)
http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/ (wish she had made my school lunches as a kid that stuff looks awesome and tastes great)
http://www.theppk.com/ (makers of great cookbooks especially the Veganomicon, which is worth getting plus I like the name and the music associated with post punk)
http://veganyumyum.com/ (haven’t tried the stuff yet but it all looks really good and the recipes look really solid)
These should help out a lot but if you are looking for some specific recipe feel free to PM me and I can help you create one or find one I have somewhere!
(just a quick note on parmesan cheese or Parmagianno Reggiano (proper name), it is not even vegetarian because it is made with animal rennet so watch out for that if you use that recipe as well as watch out for it in pesto and that stuff in the green bottle with the krapt food logo on it is probably not too be trusted either probably not real or has loads of chemicals for shelf stability!)
