   I believe someone already sent you the link to Peta’s Vegan College Cookbook. GET IT. it’s vegan, but it has good ideas for recipes. I bought one over christmas break, and I use mine religiously.

   Ramen is one of my favorites. Oriental Delight though, the beef, chicken, shrimp flavors aren’t vegetarian-friendly. I like to add some frozen vegetables before i microwave the ramen, Then sprinkle some Nutritional Yeast on top (one tablespoon has 8 grams of protein!).
   Oatmeal is another very easy thing to make. Get a grinder so you can add some flaxseeds (contain omega-3’s which is found in seafood that we don’t eat). Top with Bananas.
   Veggie burgers are microwavable and simple to eat. Add tofu fries for some extra protein (http://www.ehow.com/how_2301315_make-tofu-french-fries.html) or (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=19606.0 for a simple recipe).

   Basic things you need in order to do it right:
   Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for baking veggies, tofu, salad dressing, etc.)
   Seasonings (try getting some at the dollar store)
   Nutritional Yeast (a nutty - cheesy substance for spaghetti, ramen, etc)
   Flaxseeds (healthy fats)
   Peanut Butter (healthy fats and protein)

   Any other questions, feel free to ask me.
