While I'm generally a meat eater, I'm not opposed to vegetarian meals and would like to actually eat more non-meat meals, but I always have trouble finding something vegetarian that both tastes good and is also filling.

Have you tried a basic rice and beans bowl?  That is our go-to veggie meal.  We make ours Tex-Mex style, but you could easily make it any way you want.  It is basically a taco bowl without the meat.  I find it very filling and satisfying.

What is texmex style? Rice and beans itself is kinda bland to me, but I'd be up for spicing it up some.

Rice and beans is the base.  Use Mexican rice, from a box if you want, and seasoned beans. Top that with diced bell peppers, diced jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, cheese, salsa, sour cream, etc.  Basically, whatever you like in a burrito works here. 

For added flavor, cook the rice in a broth such as chicken stock, instead of water. Or veggie stock.  Stir in some cumin and other spices near the end if you are using white rice.

I got my garam masala from Penzy's a few months before they went all woke and insulting with the owner's little melt down about Trump voters. I sent them a message telling them to remove me from their mailing lists and I've not purchased anything from them since.

Good garam masala, though.

I figure next time I need some I'll visit one of the Indian or Pakistani grocery stores here in NoVa.

I had not heard of the Penzey's rant.  Thanks for the heads-up.  My wife and I buy a lot of spices from Penzey's; or at least we used to.  I guess we are not on his mailing list.  Won't be buying from them again. (but I'm not going to throw the spices out, they are already paid for)
