Kelly, let me see what I can think of for you.

Have you cooked with TVP yet? If you're willing to give it a try Heather's All-American Sloppy Joes are fantastic, and they have some celery and onion that you chop up and simmer so hopefully that would be very safe for you.

I also have some very safe (and many very easy!) veggie recipes posted on my web page here. If you scroll down you'll come to the vegetable section. The only one I'd avoid at first is the Autumn Melange because that's an all-veggie main dish and might be too much to start with.

Peronsally, I eat an awful lot of potatoes, carrots, and squash because they're the easiest for me to digest. The potatoes I usually eat either baked or mashed with soy milk and a tiny bit of soy margarine. The carrots I either just cook in the microwave and mix with maple syrup or I use the recipes on my site. I also do fine with cooked celery and onions in recipes. You might want to look at your grocery store to see if they carry frozen cooked squash. I often make that by just nuking it in the microwave and then stirring in some brown sugar... if you like squash, that is. I love it, and it's really safe for me!

I hope that's enough to get you started! Let me know how it goes!
