Salads are the most delicious veggie meals to eat (my opinion) and they're really easy to do. My recipe: Just grab some cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, onions and put them into a bowl. Add salt, oil and vinegar and it's ready !

You may also want to check your local organic or whole foods store for Gardenburger brand veggie burgers. They have a black bean burger that is AWESOME. My roomie who is very much the meat eater even likes them, and they're super easy. Even those of your guests that prefer meat will be pleased. Top it with some dijon mustard, cheese, and a slice of fresh tomato and you're set. (Yeah, I know it's not ';cooking';, but sometimes I'm just too tired to actually prepare a whole meal)
