oh i thought this thread was about your date last night.
Thai Peanut Salad...
Asparagus
Broccoli
Zucchini
Pea pods
Tofu (optional, could use chicken)
all dressed with a peanut sauce...
I can get the recipe in detail if this interests you. My girlfriend has a plethora of vegetarian recipes that are super healthy and full of veggies. They are versatile, meaning that the vegetarian version is optional and meat can be included just as well.

Sounds different. Never tried Zucchini, tofu or peanut sauce so might be worth a try. If you can get the recipie in detail that would be great.
Just send me a PM, that way I'll remember :oops:
Ask my girlfriend, my memory is not impressive.
EDIT: I just called her to email it to me, it should be in your inbox shortly.

mushrooms, red or green peppers, eggplant,green and yellow squash, tomatoes, pearl onions, garlic, asparagus
drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, roast in the oven (325-375 depending on the oven) until done to your personal liking
I tend to add a little balsamic vinegar when finished roasting
I do this every weekend and keep them in the fridge for most of the week
great as a side dish for almost any protein, appetizer, or in a sandwich/wrap with a little goat cheese (although that makes it more expensive)
also
lentils-french style minus the bacon
chick peas-cold in an Italian dressing or cooked with cauliflower in a curry Indian style
1/2 cup non-instant oatmeal
1 cup water
small handful of raisins
pinch of salt
cinnamon
splenda or honey to sweeten to taste
microwave for 4:30 on medium heat
lately i've been adding a half scoop of my favorite vanilla protein powder
remember whole grains and protein will make you feel full longer.
My girlfriend hollowed out two red peppers, which I grilled, and then she stuffed them with pine nut cous-cous, with a side of pureed edamame....it was fantastic.

My friend does the same but with cheese instead. Might try the substitute.
Stuffs the peppers with cheese?? mmmmmmm
Cous Cous is a great element to a dish though.

although not veg, I also have been known to roast two small chickens (4 pounders) at once over the weekend.
it seems to taste better when I roast a whole organic chicken- I usually carve one up and "pull" the other
then I make soup/stock with the bones
it is also cost effective
and no "you pull your chicken?" jokes please
