vegetarians lunch recipes w/o cheese

hmm..anyone have any good vegetarian lunch recipes that don't include cheese? TIA!

Re: vegetarians lunch recipes w/o cheese

for lunch I normally eat
salads
soups
veggie burgers
bean salad

I am not sure what type of recipes you are looking for ?

Re: vegetarians lunch recipes w/o cheese

neither am i really. i just want to give vegetarianism a try again and always get tripped up at lunch. i end up getting bored with salads and will eat cheese sandwiches or pizza every day instead. i want to be a healthy vegetarian but just don't have time to make the complicated meals but then get bored with the simple all vegetable meals (i.e. salads).

Re: vegetarians lunch recipes w/o cheese

Re: vegetarians lunch recipes w/o cheese

I love bean chili!

Re: vegetarians lunch recipes w/o cheese

no, i'm not a vegan. i definitely don't have the discipline for vegan lifestyle (plus, i love my cookies and cakes and cheese omlettes, not to mention ice cream!!) i am an on again, off again vegetarian. i just love how i feel as a vegetarian, and feel guilty when eating meat sometimes (but i do like meat). it's more of an effort towards being kind to animals and healthy eating. when i'm on the verge of going off my veg diet i find myself eating loads of carbs and cheese which is just not healthy and defeats the health benefits. i cave to this mostly for lunches than dinners. soooooo this time around i'm trying to get ideas for how to avoid this trap!

bean chili sounds yummmy! i'll look up a recipe (unless somone has an easy one they'd be willing to share). i made butternut squash soup the other day, using vegetable broth rather than chicken broth. it was out of this world delicious!

Re: vegetarians lunch recipes w/o cheese

My favorite lunch that is vegetarian is...

Bagel with cream cheese, on top of the cream cheese place a mound of diced raw veggies (ie: carrots, red onions, tomatoes, red pepper, green pepper)...then placed a slice of either provolone, muenster, or shredded mozzarella cheese on top...bake it in the oven till the cheese melts.

It is SOO yummy! I havent made it in a while b/c I am usually never home for lunch anymore. but definately you should give it a try

Re: vegetarians lunch recipes w/o cheese

I love hummus and cucumber sandwiches/pitas

I also like:

tomato and cucumber with EVOO and salt on italian bread
avacado and cucumber (I usually out swiss on this, but you don't have to) sandwich


I add hard-boiled eggs to my salads and it feels more like a lunch
