Vegetarian Options for my base's galley?

I finally got my base's galley to agree to start offering vegetarian meals!! I'm very excited because that is a HUGE victory for me!! Trouble is; none if the cooks are veg, which means they don't have much experience in creating cost effective, delicious, and appropriately prepared meals.
I know some of you guys have personal experience with this kind of stuff. I'd like some suggestions (other than my own) on what would be good to make please??
id start them off simple with pastas with veggies or marinara sauces, rice and bean burritos, casseroles, soups - etc. things they have experience cooking already, just show em how to switch out the nasty ingredients into awesome ones.
the vegetarian resource group has some good info on this topic: http://www.vrg.org/journal/vj2006issue3/vj2006issue3college.htm
Meat-free chili and stews, veggie soups w/ veg broth instead of meat-based broth, and stir-fries/curries. Very easy to make veggie-friendly without "special" ingredients.
