    I posted this link on the Cooking Frugally thread, but it applies here too!
    www.supercook.com If you write in what you have, it will give you loads of recipes.

    Vegetable curry is an obvious one, as well as pasta with a tomato based sauce. Pasta and pesto + cheese.

    You could also go with cheesy potato gratin, and cheese, garlic and breadcrumb-stuffed mushrooms.

    If you have a food processor or grater you could make nice coleslaws out of carrots/cabbage/apples etc.

    If you have fat and flour you could make a cheesy vegetable pie.

    Good luck!

    Any sort of vegetable fritters are great. Smitten Kitchen has some nice fritter recipes. You could serve with salad or spuds.

    getting on fine, No meat is not a hardship and the kids have said nothing ! A lot of people are worse off than me. I could happily do without meat for weeks on end (But not for ever ! ):)
