I would encourage you to find a copy of the More With Less Cookbook. http://www.worldcommunitycookbook.org/more/index.html is a website that has some sample recipes. You can pick up a copy of this cookbook for under $10 if you shop around. Of course, I'm not sure where my copy is right now but as I recall the cookbook talks a LOT about creating complete proteins for meals without using meats. Being a frugal person myself I would try and see if I could find a copy of the cookbook in your local library to check it out. I'm going to try and find my copy of the cookbook and share a recipe on my blog. I do not think that frugal foodie is an oxymoron.

I think every meal consist of beans, rice and whatever veggies or fruit was in season and cheap. Tortillas, lavosh, and breads are cheap and easy to make from scratch. I always bought dried beans and rice in bulk. My favorite were my burritos... homemade tortillas, black beans, rice, sauteed veggies (zucchini, squash, onion, peppers) and salsa. I'd have a lot of random salads to use up veggies, so nothing went to waste. And dessert was usually a piece of fruit. Leanne Ely has a suggestion she calls rubber chicken... I think most people living frugally know how to make a chicken stretch, but some might stumble on here so I'll link it... <a>Rubber chicken is at the bottom</a> I was a vegetarian for years when I was in college and dirt poor.
