Do any of you good people have a veggi meal planner and recipes, please. Not strictly veggie but not keen on meat or poultry, do eat bacon and fish though.

We're a mostly veggie household although we occasionally eat fish. DH has meat in sandwiches occasionally. There are only two of us but it could be adapted for more. Here's what we've been eating this week.

Veggie sausages and mash, frozen green beans
Pizza and garlic bread, salad
Tandoori salmon and rice
Pasta with chick pea and tomato sauce
Jacket potatoes with various fillings
Chickpea and potato curry.

Lunches: hummus+chutney, DH has been having brie and chorizo
Breakfast: cereal or cinammon and raisin loaf toasted.

Pizza is easy to make -we usually do a HM one but we got a stack reduced in Tesco's so we're having one of those tonight
Tandoori salmon - mix a few tbsps curry paste with 150ml plain yoghurt and marinate salmon filets in it. Grill/panfry for about 5mins on each side until cooked
Chickpea pasta sauce - make a basic tomato sauce from onion and canned tomatoes; add chickepas towards end of cooking time.
Curries - I have a base to which I add almost any vegetable - for potato based ones I fry off some mustard and cumin seeds in oil until they pop, add the potatoes and fry for 5 mins. Then add spices, a can of chopped tomatoes and whatever other veggies you like.

Recently we've also had aubergine parmigana (aubergine bake with parmesan cheese), toad in the hole (veggie sausages instead of meat) and a filo mushroom bake.

Just shout if you want any more info or recipes!

A standard dish we use a lot (especially in colder weather) is roasted vegetables (red peppers, red onions, mushrooms, courgettes, new potatoes) and goats cheese with ciabatta and pesto. Just chop all veg, make a glaze of olive oil (doesn't need to be extra virgin), pepper, salt and a little balsamic vinegar. Roast in hot oven for 35 mins. Split and toast ciabatta and spread with pesto (I like the red pesto best). Then chop goat's cheese and ad it to veg in oven for last five mins. serve on top of ciabatta with fresh basil. Yum!

Being a vegetarian for 26 years I find it is easy to get in a rut and rely on pasta, I also dislike quorn and tofu.
I like to eat vegeatable satay, roasted vegetable & coucous, vegeatable kebabs ( sometimes mexican style) , vegeatarian haggis ( even the meat eaters like this ), vine leaves , vegetable fatijas
I also like quick vegetarian yorkshire pudding which is very easy, yummy and versatile. It is especailly good on cold nights.
However I am constantly on the look out for new food- especally tthat is quick to make and am trying to do a meal planner myself .I tend to concentrate on everyone elses food and forget mine !

Catkins - Any chance of quick instructions for Mushroom and onion suet pudding? I've never made anything like that before!!

sarahs999 - that sounds GORGEOUS, I can't wait to try it!! Have to keep quiet about it being goats cheese tho - hubbie won't eat it if I tell them!!!

My (slightly lame) addition is: HM wraps with sliced peppers, cooked in a little stock and mexican spices, served with nachos - tortilla chips covered in refried beans, salsa or guacamole with cheese, melted under the grill. Regretably, I have not managed to make tasty HM refried beans yet so its Old El Paso all the way :-(
