Hey Diane!
The internet is an amazing source of recipes! You can find sooooo many great dishes....I repeat a bit but when the food is this good, it is worth it! For instance, last night I made a fab pumpkin lasagna! I found a great recipe here... http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/gluten-free-vegan-italian-dairy-free-soy-free-pumpkin-lasagna-recipe-1268.html
I just search for ideas. I love the internet anyhow! I also make a lot of pasta and rice dishes using sprouted brown rice or spelt or quinoa pasta. I might do a primavera style sauce with fresh veggies lightly cooked in olive oil. A fresh raw pesto is also very easy and quick. A food processor is a must!
I shop every few days as I like the veggies and fruit to be as fresh as possible. I am also lucky that I rent a great house with mature fruit trees so I have lots of apples and pears for juicing. I always attempt to get to the farmer's market on weekends but if my intention fails, then I go to my local Wholefoods or organic food market. This all takes a little more time than throwing something in the microwave but I love it.... it is as important to me as my painting is so I make time.
I will sometimes make a big veggie stew and freeze the sauce to use later, though I try to always make fresh food, this can be a time saver.
Check out some of these great recipes too! http://www.veganchef.com/
There really are endless amounts out there!
Please let me know if you have any other questions! I love this subject! Do you have a juicer? I really recommend one. The health benefits and weight loss are amazing when you juice. Don't get a cheap, small one though, you will regret it! LOL!
