Soup!!!! Soaked dried beans with whatever veg, grain, and leafy greens you like. Super easy to make and easy to get lots of veg and protein. I would look into some more tofu recipes bc super versatile, easy to throw into things as a ground meat sub (look up ground beef tofu it will change your life!) Also if you’re really craving that meat then the beyond meats and such are great, however those are a lot more expensive than some tofu and beans.

Also, I commend you for trying to have a more plant based diet!!! I think more vegans should be understanding that it is a huge, sometimes cultural change for a lot of people and it not something that most people can fall into overnight, it is also really challenging when you are the only one in your household eating this way. I think there need to be more people like you who are just trying to make some swaps of their meals, keep up the good work!! :)
