Here's a couple of my tried-and-true recipes:

Chickpea potato curry (http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/005108chickpea_potato_curry.php)
Lentil soup for people who thought they hated lentils (http://www.recipezaar.com/99564)
Bean burritos (http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2008/03/black-bean-burritos.html)
Roasted eggplant and tomato panino (http://veganyumyum.com/2007/01/roasted-eggplant-and-tomato-panino/) (I eat it with guacamole as a spread)

I eat a lot of curries (vegetables, chickpeas or lentils or tofu, curry powder, garlic, onions), hummus, corn tortilla chips, and pasta with red sauce and tons of veggies. Soy milk is a must; Silk and Soy Dream are the two I usually drink. Almond milk, if you can find it, is also great. I don't really eat a lot of fake meat products, mostly because I'm cheap and don't want to pay for them, but a lot of vegan recipes are full of lentils, nuts, beans, etc. You could also drink a glass of soy milk on the side if your meal needs more protein.

The only time being a vegan sucks is when you go out to eat, in which case I usually just order vegetarian and deal with the tummy ache later. :P
