I forget. How do I do this without a blog? I really need to kick myself out of the 1980s.

Here are a couple of good ones gleaned from (no tomatoes, please) a 7th Day Adventist recipe book. They're confused about a lot of things, but they're very good cooks!
Black Beans and Rice
6 cups precooked black beans with liquid
2 teaspoons chicken or vegetarian bullion
2 teaspoons cumin
3-4 garlic cloves, minced or 2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 16 oz can chopped tomatoes
1 cup blanched green peas
1 cup fresh chopped tomatoes
2 scallions sliced thin
lowfat sour cream
Combine beans, boullion, cumin, garlic, bay leaves oregano, onion, green pepper, lemon juice, and canned tomatoes. Bring to a boil; cover and let simmer on medium-low temperature for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
This goes well with basmati rice. Serves 6-8 with no leftovers.
Chickpeas a la King
Saute:
1 cup chopped onions
1 red or green pepper chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons canola oil
Sauce:
3 cups garbanzo liquid
1/2 cup cashew pieces
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
2-3 tbls chicken or vegetable boullion
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tbls onion powder
1 tbls corn starch
1 cup carrots, sliced and blanched
3 cups frozen peas
2 cups cooked garbanzos
1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds
Saute the vegetables. I like to use a large wok-like frying pan. Combine 3 cups of water or garbanzo liquid, cashews, sesame seeds (half the time we forget these), chicken or veggie boullion, garlic and onion powder, and cornstarch. Blend several minutes until smooth. Pour blender mixture into sauteed vegetables and bring to a boil over medium heat. Let simmer until sauce thickens. Add blanched carrots, frozen peas, garbanzos, and almonds. Heat thoroughly.
Again, this recipe is great with basmati rice. Serves 6.
Now for my own contributions: I love baked potatoes with sauteed vegetables. We most often use mushrooms (cooked with garlic, oregano, and basil in olive oil), broccoli, and carrots. We put either a homemade gravy or cheese over this concoction.
The other simple thing I like to do is make a homemade bread, slice up some cheese, and have fresh vegetables with it.
Hope this is helpful to someone!

This is a meatless dish we call Zucchini Stew (or Murkwoood Pasta; named by our boys for the melted cheese on top):
1 or 2 large Zucchini/ (quartered lengthwise, with skin on, then sliced very thin)
1 or 2 large Summer Squash/ (prepared same as zucchini)
3-4 Portabella Mushroom (or any other mushroom)/ finely chopped
1 Onion (red onion or vidalia are nice)/ quartered and finely sliced
1-2 Red or Bell Pepper/ quartered and finely sliced
3.6 cloves garlic, finely chopped or 2-4 T minced garlic
1-2 T Garlic pepper, or other seasoning
Saute in butter or margarine
Cook 1-2 lbs. tri-color rotini pasta al dente while above ingredients are simmering in a covered skillet until very tender.
Drain pasta. Place in large serving dish, cover with sauteed vegetables. Toss 1-2 cups of your favorite cheese on top and serve. You can make many variations, adding or deleting vegetables according to what you have on hand or whatever is in season. We sometimes add fresh or canned diced tomatoes. This is really good the next day, hot or cold. If it's not Friday we sometimes toss finely chopped chicken or ham, and even real bacon bits, on top.

What are some good ideas to substitute if your dh is allergic to mushrooms?
Mushrooms so often seem to add a "meatiness" or fullness to so many dishes, I just am not sure what to do to replace them.
Any ideas?

Laura:
Off the top of my head I thought of canned/dried beans to add meatiness, but I don't think you need that in the Chickpeas a la King recipe. On the baked potato recipe, well, I just love sauteing the mushrooms in an olive oil/butter mix with basil and garlic powder. You could just leave it out there, but *I* think it tastes so good.
A website i found substitutes cubed tofu (I'm assuming this means firm tofu), but I'm only allowed a few experiments a year with tofu. My husband's nose can detect it a mile away. He's the son of a chef.
