Vegetarian Recipes for Weight Loss?

I would love it.. if you could share some healthy vegetarian recipes. Some that you have tried and KNOW are good.

Thanks! :)

You might have more luck in both the Vegetarian forum and the Recipes forum. :)

These are some of my particular favourites...  They're all in the CC database, calorie-counted and usually for '1 serving'.

• Spicy Frittata
• Vegetable Chilli
• Mexican Stuffed Peppers
• Tofu & Mushroom Curry
• Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Here's a few links for you...

Vegan Yum Yum has amazing recipes which can easily be turned into vegetarian recipes just by using regular dairy products if you wish...

There's plenty more, check out the recipe section of your local bookstore and also take a read of the Vegetarian forum on CC, good luck :)

I would recommend the website Fatfree Vegan.  It has a lot of very healthy, low-fat, and delicious vegan recipes.  One of my favorite recipes from the site is the North African Chickpea and Kale Soup - it's very simple to make, and the mix of spices makes it very flavorful.

I have a couple of articles on line about healthy vegan eating (I'm a long time vegan):

I hope that helps -- if not, I can help in general.

I came up with something yesterday that came out pretty good -- Sweet Potato and Spinach gnocchi -- I steamed a medium sweet potato until it was very soft. Then I mashed it (skin and all) and added 3/4 cup of frozen spinach and 3/4 cup sprouted grain flour (you can use the flour of your choice, probably a whole grain flour is best). You can add more flour if you like stiffer gnocchi....

Blend it all and boil up some water spiced to your liking (I added 1 teapoon each ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander and garam masala) --  form the dough into small balls and drop into boiling broth -- cook until 1 minute after they float to the top (do in batches of 4-6 depending on the size of the pot).

They're good with a creamy soup-sauce or something like that..... High in Beta Carotene.
