Vegan, vegetarian and no-salt- low-salt recipes

Tweet

I am 6 months pregnant with my third child after having had a difficult time with toxemia and pregnancy-induced high blood pressure in the past. I have been trying to keep myself of a relatively tame diet, but after my last appointment 1 month ago, I learned that "relatively tame" just isn't going to be enough. So I went vegetarian-esk. I really have no idea what I'm doing, so this past month has been a never ending buffet of carrot sticks, apples and random raw fruit and vegetables yogurt and cold cereal. I've kept my salt intake well under 1500 mg a day and forsaken any preprepared meals or canned foods. I also gave up the love of my life, coffee. So far so good! My blood pressures are doing okay, my leg swelling is way down and I'm feeling really good (no bed rest yet), but so bored. I would like to start cooking vegetarian, but the recipes on line have ingredients that are foreign to me, really expensive or need to be obtained from a health food store. I need recipes that are easy for me to make using food that is available to me; Peppers, carrots, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, beans--basic affordable fruit and vegetables. We live in a small town area, so there are no exotic food/health food stores here. Is there anyone out there that has a few good recipes that is easy to prepare and affordable to make? If so, please share them!
