A quick and easy meal that I like to make often is vegetable stir fry. The ingredients are:
-Organic eggs (from farmers who are nice to the chickies! Be careful when buying organic eggs because some cartons say 'cage free, hormone free, vegetarian diet, etc.' but they are not actually organic unless you see the organic symbol on the carton. Without the organic symbol, companies can just be making claims and it may not necessarily be true)
-Instant brown rice (Trader Joe's has nice options, you can microwave or boil in a pouch)
soy sauce
-veggie mixture (Trader Joe's has a pre-cut mixture of a good variety of veggies)
garlic
-Organic Butter (contrary to belief, it is okay to eat butter as long as it is real butter and organic. Thanks Dusty, the man who knows everything.)

First, saute the onions then add the garlic and other veggies. Cook until tender. Then add the eggs and scramble all together. Lastly add the brown rice and soy sauce.
That's it! It doesn't look too appetizing, but it is yummy and very nutritious:

Good Guac

you're going to see a lot of mexican food on this blog, mexican is by far my favorite food group, if it counts as a food group. It's easy for vegetarians because so much of mexican food used beans and rice. I like to use instant brown rice and black beans - trader joe's has good refriend black beans with a bit of spice, but they aren't too spicy (I'm not a fan of spicy).
One of my favorite things to make is guacamole - again, good for the vegetarian diet. I usually mix avacado, onion, garlic, tomato, lime juice, and sometimes some sort of pepper cut up. Cheese melted on top and eaten with trader joes multigrain tortilla chips. yummm
