Cooking Light (the magazine and the Web site) would be one of your best bets for recipes that are both healthy and not too exotic. The Web site also has message boards where you might look for more ideas:

AllRecipes.com, Health.com, and MyRecipes.com might turn up some good stuff as well.

Or try Epicurious. From their site I found this example.

You can use tofu in almost anything that requires meat. Use tempeh whenever you want to use ground meat. Pastas always works and so do salads. A lot of vegetarians become addicted to cheese but you don't want to chub them up so be careful with that.

I've heard there is controversy surrounding Quorn but I've never actually seen any.

Quorn is a mycoprotein, a meatless substitute that derives from fungi. It is by far the most delicious meat substitute out there. I suggest trying to implement that into your meals. They make quorn in all kinds of varieties, from grounds (ground beef sub) to chunks (for chicken sub) to meatloaf, sausages, lasagna. You name it, quorn can do it.

http://www.quorn.com I believe is the correct site. It may help a lot with the substitutions and you won't have to go too far out of your way for your vegetarians when you're cooking.
