call for simple vegan-ish recipes

Hello food-bloggers! I have been having some stomach pain lately and my doctor recommended that I stop eating eggs, cheese, and fried food for awhile until we figure out what's causing it. I'm a vegetarian with somewhat limited resources, so eggs and cheese constitute a pretty large portion of my diet. Especially eggs! So cheap and so filling! Now I am going to tell you a list of what things are commonly available in the DR and you, perhaps, will provide me with a delicious recipe I can make?

- Fresh vegetables: carrots, onions, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, auyama squash. (Not quite the same thing as pumpkin, but for recipe purposes I think it will work in place of pumpkin.) Sometimes tomatoes.
- Fresh fruit: bananas, pineapple, papaya, apples (sometimes).
- Pretty much any canned vegetable.
- Bread.
- Any type of canned bean. Also dried, but I don't have a pressure cooker and I am too impatient to cook them forever.
- Brown rice, white rice.
- Pasta.
- Tomato sauce.
- Most basic spices and condiments.
- Flour, baking powder, other baking necessities.

With these things, mostly I eat: some combination of those veggies stirfried with rice or noodles, or in a sandwich. Or pasta with sauce. And hummus with everything.

I can only bake in a Dutch oven.

Oh and only cheese is banned for me, not other dairy. So if you have a recipe with milk or yogurt, that is okay.

OK go! Feed me!
