Vegans and vegetarians of SW

I am not a vegan or vegetarian but could make a meal of homemade lentil- veggie soup, garden veggie soup, fava bean soup, Italian white bean soup or lentil chili. Also love saffron rice, a can of drained chickpeas with olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper and a slice of onion, homemade hummus with veggies to dip in it, fried cornmeal mush, refried bean burritos, marinated chopped veggie salad, eggplant slices brushed with olive oil and cooked over a grill, and fruit salads
