You have given us nothing to go on; what you like, what you choose to eat, what you simply cannot abide, and so on.
I'm not vegetarian, but when I choose to forego meat, I work out in advance whether I want to eat pasta or not; (then the choice is an easy gorgonzola sauce and serve greens on the side; or a tomato sauce, served with onions and garlic, or in autumn, perhaps, with borlotti or cannellini beans; or, if I have lots of time, I'll roast peppers and aubergines [eggplant] and courgettes [zucchini] and add onions and garlic, and make a sauce with that; then again, there is pasta with mushroom sauce - personally, I like to make the sauces myself). Sometimes, I want something hot, so a stir fry with chili, ginger, garlic and various diced vegetables (onions, peppers, garlic, carrot) along with perhaps a dash of soy and oyster sauce might be on the menu....served with either noodles or rice.
Something soothing and easy would be scrambled eggs on toast; or, if you have time try a potato - or root vegetable - gratin and serve that with greens.

Sounds not unlike meatless chili, which might not be a bad thing, if you didn't have any beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, pork, etc.
What did I miss?? Please, no seafood, otherwise it's called Cajun jambalaya.
What about penne alfredo? (I like using penne instead of fettucini). I usually put in broccoli and shrimp but you can leave out the shrimp.
I suggest a nice Soylent Green casserole.
Or maybe just scrambled eggs mixed with seasoned potatoes and melted cheese. (you did say vegetarian, not vegan)

n00b.
Cook up a pound of bacon and top it off with a hamburger patty....or two.
Wait...wha? you said vegetarian?
Then top it off with a veggie patty instead of the hamburger patty.
Better yet, just cook the whole pound of bacon and call it a night.
Please define... are there any exceptions? Sometimes people who call themselves vegetarians have caveats like fish or something else.
Here's some early suggestions:
Vegetable stir fry
Chili or a good soup (potato, french onion, hearty vegetable)
Grilled Cheese
I think it's safe to assume that they're ovo-lacto vegetarian, as any such caveats (involving animal flesh) would exclude them from the 'vegetarian' category entirely.
well whatever kind of vegetarian he/she is they obviously didn't like our suggestions. not one response since the thread started.
