I'll be staying at someone's place for a few months, and they're vegetarian. One of the house rules is that no meat is allowed in the house, so I want to be respectful and switch to vegetarian meals, at least for anything I cook or eat at home.

I usually meal prep, but I'm a bit lost when it comes to vegetarian recipes. I'm looking for meals that are filling, reasonably high in protein, and practical for meal prep.

I'm in the US if that matters, and I don't really have a preference when it comes to cuisine. I'm happy to try anything.

Can anyone recommend good YouTube channels, blogs, cookbooks, or other resources for vegetarian meal prep? Bonus points if they're beginner-friendly and focus on everyday meals instead of overly complicated recipes.

Thanks!

We have a very diverse household. Three vegetarians, 1 gluten free and 2 step kids who would survive of Mac and cheese if I let them. Sometimes one complains that the Mac and cheese is too spicy.

Then me, the omnivore who actually does all the cooking.

I’m looking for more meal ideas that everyone can customize to their tastes. So far I do baked potatoes where everyone chooses their own toppings. Taco bar where you create your own. Make your own naan pizza night. You get the idea. It’s our week with the step kids and I’m struggling to come up with a menu that isn’t just these 3 things.

As the title goes, my brother’s girlfriend is a vegetarian. Animal biproducts like cheese and whatnot seem to be ok. Anyway, I cook a lot but I don’t want to resort to simply salads or frozen impossible meat when she comes over. Any suggestions?

I live somewhere in the US where it’s pretty consistently 90+ degrees and humid all summer long. I love to cook but standing around the hot stove is pretty miserable this time of year so I’m looking for recipes that don’t require a lot of heat. Thanks in advance!

So I want to make some cauliflower soup for me and my girlfriend but I just know it wont be substantial enough and I dont want to add lentils to this soup today.l, even though I love a lentil.

Im not sure what style of protein goes well with a soup. What would you guys do?

I was out of town recently, and I had to rely on restaurant food. I ended up eating a lot of flatbread/pizza, or salads. I really did not eat a lot of protein. Most pasta dishes I saw had some kind of meat. What do people order when they eat out?

Hi, my husband is allergic to all seafood so I would like to try some vegetarian options and subs. I’ve been to restaurants where they’ve used hearts of palm I think for “crab” but the restaurants were always super fancy and I haven’t had great luck with finding reputable recipes online.

Anything you make that scratches the seafood itch?

Looking for inspiration!! What are you making for the 4th of July parties that you are invited to or hosting?

Egg and white bean scramble Sounds boring but it's genuinely filling. Cook a big batch of white beans, then each morning take a portion and scramble in a couple eggs with whatever vegetables you have. Holds up fine prepped separately and comes together in under five minutes.

Saag paneer over farro Paneer is one of the better protein sources in vegetarian cooking and it reheats without turning rubbery. Farro holds up in the fridge way better than rice and has more protein too.

Lentil and roasted vegetable frittata Make it in a sheet pan, slice it into portions, done. Travels well cold, doesn't get soggy, and two or three slices will keep you full past 3pm easily.

Miso soup with silken tofu and edamame This one surprises people. A big thermos of it is easy to prep in bulk and the protein adds up faster than you'd expect.

Greekstyle chickpea bake Chickpeas, tomatoes, olives, a lot of feta, bake until everything is soft and the feta starts browning. Works at room temperature so no reheating needed.

Since you already do chickpea curry and quinoa bowls, the main thing might just be rotating your proteins rather than overhauling everything. Swapping in white beans, paneer, or tempeh into your existing recipes might get you more mileage without having to learn completely new dishes.

I’m new to cooking soy chunks, but my local grocery store is selling them half off and I bought some. I can find recipes online for the super tiny TVP, and for soy curls, but not circular chunks.

Does anyone have any ways/ideas they like to prepare soy chunks, or creators online who’ve posted recipes I could look at? Thank you

Has anyone managed to make a black bean burger that doesn't immediately turn into mush when you try to flip it. I swear I've tried everything. Baked them first even. Help a confused cook out.
