Hi! I was a vegetarian for 3 years.
Is there anything specific you're looking for? The first thing I can recommend is stir-fry, since there's not much thought to put into that and you can cover all the bases with it. Seitan (wheat gluten/protein) can be used as a substitute to chicken/other bland meat. Black beans and lentils are very fibrous and are okay sources of protein as well, and can make up the bulk/focal point of a lot of meals. Most East Asian-style cooking is vegetarian or features fish as the only protein in a dish, so I would look into those too.
