I need some yummy, easy vegetarian recipies!

My boyfriend is coming over on Friday. We're going to a concert, but first, we're having dinner at my place. I figured I should cook something yummy. I don't really have time to go hardcore grocery shopping, though.

So...yeah. Suggestions are appreciated!

2. I am slow-cooking pineapple with seitan and leftover stir-fry rice

at the moment. Oh and I put bbq sauce on it to soak in :9

Usually, any stir-fry or pasta-type dish is easy and quick. You can make that up as you go, just adding the spices you like and you're done!

If you want to look at recipes, try VegWeb.com or VeggieBoards.com

Good luck and good eating :D

6. Minestrone is good...here's how I make it

about a gallon of water, more or less depending on the size of the pot (I use a big one - make a big batch!)
one chopped onion
about 5-6 diced taters
about 5-6 minced cloves garlic
about 5-6 thinly sliced carrots
2 cans kidney beans, drained (not the chili flavored ones...just plain)
2 cans tomato puree (I don't like big chunks of tomato; you can use diced ones if you don't mind 'em)
black pepper
crushed red pepper
celery seed
sea salt
2-3 bay leaves
cook all that until the spuds and carrots are just about done; bring to a boil and dump in a box of tricolor rotini and cook until that's done.
