Dry lentils are a great staple. Lots of soups stews chilis oh and my personal fave ezekiel bread.

I'm not fully veggie, but I'll share one anyway and come back for ideas ... Mexican dishes with black beans instead of meat are one of my favorites...taco salads, burritos, layered salads with chips, tacos (mix your seasonings with refried beans and black beans). Cheap, too! :)

Add beans to whatever your dh is eating. Just make it more buffet style. Bean burritos, taco or cesar salad etc. Try not to make two of everything. If you don't mind food in the same pan you can make ahalf a pan of vegetarian enchiladas and a half of meat. You can make spaghetti and then a few pieces of baked chicken on the side. If you make hamburgers just use a veggie burger or my favorite are those riblets. I love making a sandwhich with those and top it with coleslaw.
