Vegetarian recipes wanted

So, the husband and I are planning our informal wedding reception for Sept. 15. I’m not only the reception planner, invitation designer and printer, cake-maker and interior decorator, I’m also the caterer.

I wanted to offer our guests, all of whom are meat-eaters, lots of delicious appetizers and light sides that just happen to be vegetarian. I’d like to show them that a vegetarian diet consists of more than just lettuce.

One problem. I can’t cook.

Really. My cooking skills are non-existent, zip, nada. I have adult ADD and following any recipe with more than three ingredients and two steps is mission impossible.

My first night in my first apartment, I was introduced to the joys of cooking and the wonders of modern kitchen appliances when I set my first dinner aflame, and no, I was not cooking flambé intentionally.

I’ve “forgotten” frozen pizzas in the oven and come back hours later to find charred frisbees that NASA could launch into space.

It is no coincidence the fire extinguisher has been located outside the past three apartments I inhabited.

So, I present the challenge at-hand to you, fine readers. Any ideas for delicious (and easy) vegetarian dishes that require little to no actual cooking?
