Here are a few things you might want to add to your dinner list:

Potato Pancakes with applesauce

Small shell pasta added to a pan where you've pressed about 3 cloves garlic
into a layer of olive oil. Add pine nuts and steamed broccoli tops, some hot
pepper flakes to taste. toss it all and sprinkle with some soy Parmesan, and
chopped Italian parsley which has more flavor than the curly parsley.

In a rush, frozen Pierogis are great alone or served with some veggies. It only
takes 6 minutes to boil them and another few minutes to sautee them till golden
brown. I also add some chopped onion when they're half browned.

In summer I do a cold pasta sauce served over hot pasta with raw shredded
zucchini.
Just put some fresh tomatoes in a blender with lots of garlic, basil, parsley,
salt and black pepper and some dried red pepper flakes and blend into a
sauce.Put the shredded zucchini over the hot pasta, pour sauce over, toss, and
sprinkle with soy parmesan.

Another dish I like is Yaki Soba noodles. I used to buy a package of noodles
with the flavoring packet. You soak the noodles in hot water for five minutes
and then add them to sauteed veggies.
I would sautee sliced onion, garlic, mushroom for a few minutes till mushrooms
were almost tender, then add some diced serrano or jalapeno peppers to taste,
some sliced zucchini, or broccoli or both, bean sprouts, sliced water
chestnuts, and some snow pea pods. Sprinkle with Tamari to taste, and some
Mirin (it's a sweet Japanese wine). This really is a fast and very tasty dish.
You can make it with only some of the suggested veggies and it's just as good.

Do a fast Portabello mushroom burger with soy mozzarello, sliced tomato, onion,
lettuce, ketchup and serve with oven baked french fries.

Another burger you can do is an eggplant burger. You slice eggplant really thin
and fry it fast in a hot pan with oil. Put it on a burger bun with sauteed
mushrooms and onion. Can also serve with potato salad, or oven roasted
potatoes.

Another fast pasta is pesto sauce on any pasta along with a salad.

I also use deep fried tofu pieces instead of meat in a lot of Chinese and
Indian dishes.

Another simple meal is just brown rice topped with chopped tomato, chopped
onion, a little curry powder to taste, or cumin and basil or your favorite herb
combination. I serve a big salad with this with a oil, lemon, garlic dressing
and I put a little of the dressing over the rice veggie combo and mix it all
up. If you are a bread eater, you can serve it with some chapati or bread or
roll of your choice. You can also add a little cooked corn kernels to the rice.

Rice and beans with cornbread is another simple meal.
