I am doing a Real Food, Real Fast show this month and the host wants something healthy and meatless. Any ideas?

I am at a loss and she wants me to give her some options this week. The tricky part is that it has to be healthy and quick!

I know you all will have some great ideas - thanks for helping me out!
 
How about a veggie stir-fry? You can make rice in the rice cooker in the microwave while you prep and cook a bunch of veggies. Season them with the Asian seasoning. And add some tofu, if she wants some protein in it.
 
Reduced fat crescent rolls with veggie and fat free cheese filling. Or pizza filling.

You can also browse the weight watcher points chart for recipes that are healthy *and already give you the points value!*
 
by using the crescent rolls, i mean a calzone or wreath
 
There are some GREAT vegetarian recipes in the new 29 Minutes cookbook!

My family LOVES the Spicy Broccoli Frittata, and the Breakfast Tacos are very good, and there is a great recipe for Vegetarian Chili in there! Make some mini corn muffins to go with it! Oh - and the Caprese Pizzas are good too!....
 
The Power Cooking Taco SoupEasy to do, leave out the meat and cut it in half all ingredients except beans for a regular cooking show crowd. The simmering time will allow you to talk about stones, SA, etc. Us ethe Small bowl caddy for shredded cheese and cilantro to add (some people do not like the taste of cilantro.

Because it uses cans, it is very fast.
