Packed Lunches - Egg Salad Sandwiches are pretty easy. So is leftovers. If you still eat fish, Sardines are surprisingly good. Personally I find going out for lunch to be a better way of living than packed lunch, but to each their own.

Eggs are in the same category as chicken, yeah? Like If I'm eating eggs I don't want them from some place where they have 5 piled on top of each other in 12"x12" cage.

Dinners aren't hard either. Pasta is so easy without meat, especially pesto dishes. Corn on the Cob is still awesome. So is Potato Salad, and so on. Stirfrys, Casseroles (just not Lasagne, ect), they are all easy. The only dinner you are going to be short on is roasts, or stews. That's like the only thing that will be missing. And if you eat fish, then roast salmon can still be done. Veggie Chilli, however, can be excellent, and replace the hearty stew that you may crave.

Yeah, as mentioned, have no problem with pastas and curries. This is stuff I make most of the time anyways. But I am looking for what I should be adding if I'm not going to be having chicken or meatballs with it. I will still have the wild meat, as mentioned, so the odd roast or steak is still going to be in play.
Veggie chili is a good option, yeah. A big hindrance for me is beans. I don;t like beans. I may have to just get over it.

As for Tofu, you likely have been eating it wrong. There's really two types of Tofu. Soft, and Hard. Soft tofu has a gelatin like look, is soft and mushy. Most people think of this when they think Tofu. I do not like this. Hard tofu is different, it is dry, and stiff, it has a consistency of cheese - especially paneer, or feta. Firm tofu fried, and crispy, is actually quite nice.

Hmm interesting, I'll look into it.
Another hurdle I guess would be that I live within a 5 min walk of co-op, so most of my meals are ad-hoc (ie, I'm at the store almost every day). I like doing this. Walk my dog over there or what have you, and don't really have enough freezer/fridge space to be buying a bunch of stuff in bulk. So what are the recommendations for that type of life vs getting like 5 whole chickens and a 1/4 cow?
