My favorite vegetarian food hacks are Quinoa and Peanut Butter Oatmeal. Both are great sources of protein. When I want to spend a weekend hacking, and don't want to be bothered, I'll cook a big batch of steel cut oats in the slow cooker, starting it on a Friday night. Then I know I can just mix in a few table spoon of the good "grind it yourself" peanut butter with a cup or two of oatmeal. It leaves me feeling satiated, and is rather healthy with lots of fiber and protein without much fat, and without sugar.

Quinoa is great. I have two primary recipes: Breakfast: cook with cinnamon, apples, raisins and honey (and any other dried fruit you care to add). Serve with pecans/walnuts/your favorite nut to add an extra protein boost. Lunch/dinner: cook and cool, add onions, cilantro, black beans, a little tomato, a bit of crushed garlic. Basically a fresh salsa that is mostly quinoa.

  Quinoa FTW! My girlfriend likes to make Quinoa salads .. She'll just make a basic quinoa pilaf style, but without the sauteed onions, then add corn, spinach greens, heirloom tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, the super crunchy japanese cucumbers, some apple or jicama slices, and some blood orange (or regular orange). Quinoa also makes a good porridge. I've mixed a cup of cooked qunoa cookd porridge style with a cup of softly cooked (and drained and rinsed) black beans with hot milk and a TBsp of agave syrup for a super awesome breakfast.

    I love quinoa tabouli. Tabouli is a Middle Eastern salad. You'll find various recipes on the web. I like to use cilantro in place of the usual parsley & mint, scallions, cucumbers, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and a dressing of fresh lemon juice, garlic, salt and extra virgin olive oil. I make a huge batch of that and snack on it for a couple of days.
