Thanks for your response. But I think you've misunderstood. I'm pretty well aware of the deep well of cuisines offered by various cultures, but my issue is not finding recipes -- it's the time I and effort spend cooking. My current job takes a lot of time and energy out of me, by the time I get home I'm pretty exhausted. I don't really get any time to cook throughout the week. (Which kinda sucks, I did enjoy cooking) I rely a lot on quick meals from Trader Joe's or something I can just toss in the microwave. And while Trader Joe's does have some vegan/vegetarian selections like that, it's kinda limited.

I don't know Trader Joe and what they offer but here's some quick preps I found convenient: - cereals and lentils/beans semolina. Mix with oil, spices and hot water. Cover and wait 5 minutes. - Cans of beans, lentils, chickpeas mixed with pre-made tabbouleh or another carb. Oil/spice and eat. - Various marinated tofu: they're delicious own they own and don't need prep: open and bite. - Instant mashed lentils/slip peas/quinoa (flakes). Oil/spice/water and eat. - Tempeh: microwave and dip in sauce. - bread and houmous. - bread and nuts. - Vegetable that can be eaten raw: rince and eat. Dip in sauces if you like. Carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, radishes, chicory, small iceberg salads... - Fruits. rince and eat. The trick is to have a few different oils and spices, those add taste and nutrients. Also you can add to anything a spoon of brewer's yeast if you're into that (cheese/fermented taste) or of silken tofu for more creamyness.
