Answer
How about a cheeseless pizza? You could make it yourself or order from a place like Little Caesars or Papa Johns (both have vegan crust and sauce). Or, Penne Vodka from Veganomicon (she uses almonds to get the creaminess that cow's cream would give). Chili and homemade cornbread is delish. I don't have an excellent chili recipe (or I would share), but this is my favorite cornbread:

(I use margarine, agave nectar, Ener-G egg replacement, and non-dairy milk. Turns out perfect)

Tamale Pie: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/vegetarian-tamale-pie-392881 (use soy cheese, same cornbread recipe on top. I cut the recipe in half.)

Veggie Pot Pies: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Veggie-Pot-Pies-295205

Asparagus Cashew Rice Pilaf: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Asparagus-Cashew-Rice-Pilaf-59752

And my absolute favorite, Lentil Loaf: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Really-Good-Vegetarian-Meatloaf-really-33921

(Ener-G and soy cheese work great. I like to use half BBQ, half spaghetti sauce in the recipe)


These are my favorites, hope you like them if you try them.

What are you suppose to eat if you are a vegetarian?

Answer
*sigh* I get asked this a lot.
I am a vegetarian technically classified as a lacto-octo vegetarian, meaning I drink milk and will consume yogurt and eggs. Someone who does not consume anything that has dairy or any animal products at all is called a Vegan, I admire them, I really do, but I have no idea how I would cope without milk in my cups of tea :p
I love spicy food, so I cook a lot of tagines--my two favourites are my spicy sweet potato and pumpkin with lentils and couscous, and my delicious chickpea satay.
I also make a killer no-meat meatloaf, it's made with lentils, grated carrots and BBQ sauce (meat eaters tell me it's tastes eerily authentic).
One of my favourite recipes is Chilli Con Carne (minus the Carne)--it has lentils and beans, tomatoes and I also make a yummy crunchy topping for it made from polenta.
Vegetarians can have just as interesting a diet as meat eaters do, and can be just as--if not MORE healthy!!
People always go back to the old "you don't eat protein!" argument.
Did you know that half a cup of lentils has more protein in it than a t bone steak?
