Quinoa tacos - the filling is so good I eat it without tortillas. Soups - butternut squash, lentil, black bean, etc. Veggie chili - beans, zucchini, diced tomato, onion, corn, whatever you want. Pasta - kale and mushroom with penne is a good combo. I make it with goat cheese. Maybe add some yellow squash. Kale, sweet potato, and mushroom with quinoa. Black bean burgers and homemade veggie burgers (real veggies) are delicious. Chickpea cutlets. Indian inspired dishes are easy. Some of my go-tos are indian spiced lentils, saag chana (spinach dish), and chickpeas and cauliflower.

I like some store brand veggie burgers (like Amy's) but those are a tailgate party kind of food.

I was on the sideline for the Great Faux Meat Scuffle of 2013.
It will be something that I can always have and as it goes down in history, I can say "I was there."

He may be here longer then a week, it kind of depends on how long he wants to couch surf and job hunt. I'm thinking a month. He is helping with buying the groceries just has admitted to being a bad cook. Said he would live on peanut butter sandwiches and cookies.... told I think we can do better then that. Hm. Depending on the relationship, you might not want to do better than that.
Longtime friend whose company you love, who willingly pitches in on household tasks and doesn't cause any family strife? Figure out some kick ass meatless meals and keep this guy as long as possible
Loser brother in law who is still "figuring out what he wants to do in life", doesn't know how to operate the washing machine and will be making a big, greasy spot on your sofa while he watches cartoons and asks what's for dinner? Hand him the jar of peanut butter.
More of this one. He just finished his dual B.S in Mechanical Engineering, and some sort of Mathematics. Hoping to get a job in the Northern VA area. He is actually the B.F of a really good friend, she eats meat. But she rents a room and the house owners won't let him stay there. But in the end if he gets annoying or a PITA, I don't have any problem saying time to go. We are comfortable with this arrangement.

Oldest DD has been a lacto-ovo veggie (like your friend) for over 20 years. I have tons of recipes and would be glad to post some.
Additional ideas:
Pasta primavera 5 can minnestronne (vegan & quick) Spinach or tomato bread Schewan tofu stir fry (time consuming over 2-3 days) Greek spinach pie Lentil stew (vegan & quick) Mushroom, barley, tomato soup Grilled/roased veggies sandwichees/panini
When DD lives at home I often made dinner in 2 pans using tofu for her protein and meat/chicken for DD2, me, DH. This would be stroganof, gouloush, stews.........

I was going to mention Mediterranean food... hummus or tzaziki with veggies or pita.
My college BFF is a vegetarian and when she visiting a few months back, I made lemon parmesan risotto (with veggie broth)- veggie cheese enchiladas - pasta and salad. She also ate black bean burgers.
Also- just thinking of protein items... greek yogurt, lentil soup...

I don't even like turkey bacon. That stuff sucks. I actually like turkey bacon... Turkey's still have a face. Soy beans do not. Therefore they make crappy bacon. I love vegetarian bacon - no pan full of grease to clean up....I eat morningstar farms sausage every morning - doesn't give me indigestion

Butter, salt, and cheese. Everything is better with butter, salt, and cheese. Except bacon. It's already perfect on its own.

I made this tonight: www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2013/12/26/a_vegetarian_white_bean_and_kale_soup_recipe_that_doesn_t_taste_vegetarian.html
Vegetarian white bean and kale soup. It was good; even the boys ate it and liked it. The only comment I'd make is that I think if you follow the instructions for cooking the Great Northern Beans according to the recipe, it wouldn't be good. The recipe just has you boil dried beans straight from the bag. IME, it's best to either presoak the beans overnight or to bring them to a boil then let them soak for an hour before cooking them. That's what I did and it worked well.

Soups usually run well to going meatless. Tonight, I'm doing a potato leek soup. I start mine with bacon and use chicken broth, but it can easily be done with oil and vegetable broth. French onion soup is another one. I do a lentil soup with a lot of veggies and veggie broth as well.

that sounds tasty, milee. I'm going to add it to the list of recipes I need to try. I make this soup a few times over the winter, it freezes really well too. I use kale and all black beans, and take a stick blender to the pot before putting the kale in to wilt. grinding up some of the beans and tomato helps to thicken the soup. link
