I am looking for some good, hearty vegetarian recipies. I am mainly looking for lunch items. I try to stay away from soy, I have reactions to it. I am breastfeeding and I have trouble finding food that fills me up.
Thanks!

I can absolutely help you out here. Here are some of my favorite recipes:
Vegetarian Meatloaf: http://www.recipezaar.com/Really-Good-Vegetarian-Meatloaf-really-33921
Tamale Pie: http://www.recipezaar.com/vegetarian-tamale-pie-392881
Shepherds Pie: http://www.recipezaar.com/Vegetarian-Shepherds-Pie-269553
Weight Watchers Barley With Butternut Squash, Apples and Onions:

I use Morningstar Farms crumbles in 2 of the recipes, but you can easily sub them out for another soy-free brand (like Quorn), use beans instead, or just omit them.
There are so many other recipes on Recipezaar, that is definitely my favorite recipe site. You can use the recipe filter to only include vegetarian meals. If you're a fan of meat substitutes, Quorn is my absolutely favorite and it's soy free. I use the tenders and naked cutlets in place of chicken in all of my favorite classic recipes.

Going vegetarian, school lunch ideas?
Angela
My veggie-friendly friends have finally talked me, a meat-loving carnivore into going "green". Unfortunately I'm still in eighth grade, and restricted to a school menu. Any help with food ideas?
BTW, about the whole "Your still growing" thing, I haven't grown at all since the sixth grade..;(
Answer
I have been there! I went vegan when I was 12 and it was tough for me, but I managed to eat well at school.
Some ideas:
-bean salads (good beans to use are garbanzos/chickpeas, black beans, and black-eyed beans)
-mock "sloppy joe" sandwiches (use Morningstar brand crumbles in place of beef in any recipe or use on of these recipes: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=9635.0 and http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=15762.0)
-pasta salad
-sandwiches with marinated roasted tofu (available pre-made from Whole Foods and Trader Joes, or look for recipes online)
-vegetarian "meatloaf" (lots of recipes are available online
-baked potato with fixin's or "potato angels" (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=32280.0)
-fruit, yogurt, and granola combo with a hearty muffin (e.g. banana or carrot or bran muffin...there are loads of recipes online)
-hummus with tortilla chips, veggies, or pita chips
-sandwiches with vegetarian "lunchmeat"
-vegetarian chili (with cornbread if you want)
-calzones
-waldorf salad
There are lots of websites with more ideas, too...see sources below
