Stir fries are great.
I'm making Quinoa right now. Its a nut like think with tons of protein. I'm making it cold and throwing in corn, tomatoes and cucumbers.

Spinach is really healthy. You can sautee it in butter/coconut oil.

Yuck! Spinach is best by itself! It gets all slimey when you sautee it; personally I wouldn't want slimey green spinach amidst anything else.

I don't really have a favorite dish.. just whatever is on hand I like to make stuff out of it
A few favorites though;
Insalata Caprece Salad
- several red ripes tomatoes.. sliced - a few chunks of fresh mozzarella, sliced - fresh basil - salt, pepper - extra virgin olive oil
Take slices of tomato, put chunks of fresh mozzarella on top. Chop fresh basil and put on top, salt and pepper to taste. You can add capers as well. Drizzle with olive oil last, and eat with bread. Simple, and absolutely delicious. Can't go wrong with this stuff.. unless you use shitty ingredients.
Fried Squash
Slice up some squash, heat up a pan with some olive oil or butter.. toss in squash. Add salt, pepper, parsley, and cayenne pepper to taste. Cook for about a minute on each side. Enjoy.
Salad:
Take any combination of leafy greens, and vegetables. Cut them up and mix them together. Eat.

I've always been a big fan of steamed broccoli with a little butter and salt. Homegrown broc, even better.
Oh, just noticed you wanted a main dish. Stuffed bell peppers then... YUM!

I spread hummus on it, then add diced tomato, cucumber, onion, peppers along with spinach and cheese. Then I roll it up. Much easier and better than pita, and the above is merely a suggestion. You can put whatever you want in it.
holy crap! that sounds insanely good.

Gotta be Eggplant Parmesan! I love that stuff, it's so filling and tasty. You can use a meat and tomato sauce with it, so you get a little bit of meat in there but a lot of vegetable, if you want meat. :o

Eggplant Parmesan is great. If you have never cooked eggplant before, you might want to peel the eggplant before you cook it, and brush it with some olive oil and Italian herbs or something. It is kind of bland to begin with, so if you flavor it well, your experience will be much better. I also recommend fresh mozzarella and Parmesan, but truly fresh mozzarella can be hard to find at times.

I like leaving the peel on it. :O The way I do it you fry the eggplant, layer it with the sauce and cheese, then bake it for a couple hours. You have to properly season each slice of eggplant and fry them correctly too.
