pasta. i'm a big fan of throwing either tofu (or fake ground beef, but i know you don't like that, arw) into a pot, along with a jar of spaghetti sauce, a can of stewed tomatos, a carton of mushrooms, and about 6 cloves of garlic. just gonna warn you, that's a lot of sauce...oh, and don't sautee the mushrooms first, they get all mushy and they tend to dissapear in the sauce once you throw them in...
my mom made this really good curry thing the other day, no meat there. really tasty stuff. i don't know if you ike curry. i guess that goes in with dorian gray's indian food reccommendation. let's see...it was rice, mushrooms, apples, and i think there was some yogurt, so it ends up kind of looking like a big yellow blobby thing, but it's goood. trust me.
don't fall into the summer bbq veggie burger trap...that happened to me about 4 or 5 years ago and i STILL can't look at a garden burger without shuddering...grilled veggies fucking rule...and grilled tofu...marinate the tofu in something (soy sauce, garlic-y stuff, anything you'd think tofu would be good marinated in), put it on skewers and grill it...it's good if you throw in some mushrooms too...cna you tell i like mushrooms?
oh man...portabello mushrooms! those things are the shiznit.
arw, do you eat fish? i'm not a huge fish fan, but grilled or broiled scallops are tasty... or you can melt some butter and add a load of garlic and put them in a pan and stick them in the oven (hey, that's what i had for dinner last night...fucking house smelled like fish for hours afterwards though, blech)
the thing about fake meat...i like a lot of kinds of fake meat, things that i never liked the real version of, i never liked chicken nuggets, but i eat fake ones fairly frequently, and same with fake sausages (provided that we actually have them in the freezer...) . i hated real sausage. it's just textured soy protien, so the concept doesn't really freak me out too much. although the fact that they mimic the fat in the fake bacon by having parts of the strips white and other parts pink kind of bugs me (it all has the same taste).
