Vegetarian Dinner Help!

So... I'm making my grocery list today and I have no freaking clue what to make for dinner tonight!
Does anyone have any delicious (and preferably cheap and easy) recipes you could lend me? I want to try something different! I feel like I always make the same things. Thanks in advance- I will repay you with my undying love and affection.

are you staying away from dairy too?

One of my favorite dinners to make is rice and bea soup with cheese and refried bean quesadillas. The soup is actually vegan until you add the toppings. Want the recipe?

I used to make stuffed bell peppers all the time, with couscous and tofu, chopped carrots, and a bunch of seasonings. I don't remember what all I put in them, but you could just be creative.

Nah, I love cheese

YES that sounds awesome! ALL of the food I make ends up being southwest/mexican/spanish tasting because I just love it so much. And I've never made rice and bean soup before

OMG yes I love making stuffed peppers. That's one of my go-to meals. I usually make it stuffed with rice, cilantro, veggies, and homemade salsa. Never thought of making it with tofu and couscous- I definitely have to try that.

Sorry I posts am wandered off lol

The soup is:
1whole medium onion, diced
Three minced cloves of garlic
I can of pinto beans or black beans (rinsed)
3 seeded and diced Roma tomatoes
I can of whole corn kernels
1 1/2cups parboiled rice
6-8 cups of veggie broth (depending on how brothy you want it)
Tbsp dried oregano
Tsp dried ground cumin
Tsp dried paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, spicy)
Salt and pepper to taste

Sauté onions and and garlic in olive oil, add broth and seasonings and let boil for 5 minutes then add th rice and boil about 12 minutes or until rice is cooked. Once rice is cooked through add the beans, corn kernels, and tomatoes, reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

For garnish I put out Monterey Jack cheese, lime wedges, green onions, sour creme, avocadoes, and fresh chopped cilantro. Add the garnishes to the soup as you wish.


So. Freaking. Delicious.
One of my kids' favorite meals with cheese and refried bean quesadillas. They are 2 and 6 and LOVE adding all the toppings.
