Help me broaden my cooking horizons!
My housemate and I work together to make dinner for the whole house (6 people) once a week. We have a farm share at my house, so on Monday (the day before we cook), we look in the fridge and see what veggies are around, and decide what to make.
So far, we've come up with a few basic staples. These are:
-quiche
-lasagna
-pasta with sautéed vegetables and cheese
-stir-fry with tofu and noodles
-soup
-quesadillas with sautéed vegetables
Since we only cook once a week, it's not too bad to have a limited range of things, and we're getting pretty efficient with them (which is good, since it means I don't have to leave work as early). But I'd like a little more variety, so: what are some other good dishes that can be adapted for whatever vegetables one happens to have around?
Oh, also--this is a vegetarian kitchen, so no meat!

You can also make the batter without eggs and then crack an egg into the pan right before pouring the pancake - takes a little more skill with the heat/cooking time.
I see you have surplus cabbage.
One of my favorite recipes I've developed uses up beets and purple cabbage (it just looks terrifying, if you use a green cabbage).
Also playing with beets, I love this soba noodle salad, which is good cold or hot. Also, I love that it doesn't use peanut butter, so it's friendlier for pot lucks.
