With this veg menu,
go herbivore for a night
Many carnivores have the notion that if there isn’t meat on the plate, it isn’t a meal. With Americans consuming about 200 pounds of meat per person annually, it might be time to take a break.
We hesitate to use the v-word, as it seems to drive off anyone who doesn’t consciously abstain from meat. But consider that the word vegetarian may come from the Latin vegetous, meaning lively, because that’s how people following this diet felt. So, whether you’re a committed herbivore or just want to play one for an evening, we’ve got a menu for you.

Also, casein/hemp/whey powder should be fine for your SO. Easy to slip into drinks or recipes.-COLLAPSE
Oh, also, quinoa is a great protein source!
JLM, how about seitan, which is made with wheat gluten? Field Roast is a really awesome brand. The "loaves" all contain ingredients that would be off limits to your SO but their sausages seem like they would work, and I personally think they're delicious.
I always wish I could eat vegetarian but my significant other is widely allergic to everything in the peanut family, which includes peas, chickpeas, soy beans and lentils and he is also lactose intolerant. Which effectively eliminates any source of protein that isn't a meat (to my knowledge anyway)
Are there any I am missing? Every veggy recipe I find that is a complete meal seems to contain...+READ

Awesome, can't wait to try em'.
WOW! I love the veggie animals as well; they even look more appealing as veggies:) Nice recipes too!
Those fruit animals are cool! The vegetable chickens rock!
