you might want to try a good vegetarian chili recipe. They are so good and filling and very healthy. This site has some great veggie chili recipes and they are all different.
Mediterranean Beet and Yogurt Salad - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/05/health/nutrition... - if you have beet greens left over, just saute them with salt, pepper, and garlic. Everyone I've ever made this for has only ever loved it.
Also, if you buy a kabocha or butternut, or some other winter squash (those two are my favorites), you can just cut them into 1.5 inch cubes (get the rind off), put them in a baking dish and drizzle them with olive oil generously, salt, and pepper. Cover with tinfoil. Put them in the oven at 400°F (204° C). For 45 minutes. Ever 15 minutes take them out and flip them over so as to coat them in the olive oil. This takes a long time with tongs. I just take a spatula and flip them. The point is just to make sure they're cooked evenly and are covered in oil and salt and pepper.
Once they're ready, just add more salt and pepper and olive oil to taste, and butter if you feel like it. Simple recipe, but really, really good.
Sweet potatoes are always great.
Invest in a cook book by Deborah Madison. If you prefer Asian cuisines or Indian, go for Madhur Jaffrey. They will be the only cook books you will ever need.
I made up some cookies a while ago which are pretty good. They might need a little sugar if you're used to really sweet things, but for me they're perfect and often taste like apple pie~
To make them, you just need applesauce, rolled oats, oil, and raisins.
You take a cup of rolled oats, mix in applesauce until they're all coated and stick together, add a tablespoon or two of raisins, and a tablespoon or two of oil. Mix them up, make them into four or five cookie-shaped circles, and bake them at 350F for 20 minutes.

Red Cabbage and Apples - http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/red-cabbage-and-appl... - this says to use white wine vinegar. You can if you want, but to do it right, use apple cider vinegar.
Tofu in Coconut Sauce with Ginger and Lemongrass - http://www.bigoven.com/124886-Tofu-in-Coconut-Sauc... - I haven't had this, and I have no idea why not. But I love all the ingredients, so it must be good.
