1. So the biggest challenge for vegetarians is the meal prep because veg takes preparation (wash, cut, cook, etc). And, to my thinking (as I was vegetarian once too) is getting enough calories in so you don't feel constantly hungry.
2. I would recommend you buy two kinds of bread and have them in the freezer at all times. One sourdough or Rye and either a wrap or tortillas.
3. The third factor to vegetarian cooking is not using too much cheese.
4. Fourth is getting enough protein.
5. buy nuts and seeds and have sweet things too like raisins, dates, and currents, dried blueberries, cranberries etc (these can all be stored in the freezer especially the nuts).
6. have a lemon around all the time. I love lemons and they make food taste really fresh
7. have spices on hand like red peppers (makes food taste good); curry powder etc, have frozen pineapples for pineapple fried rice or just make some foods taste good, onion, and chop some herbs and freeze them like dill, parsley (chop first prior to freezing)
8. have oatmeal flour in the freezer for thickening patties
I recommend one day making like two cups of lentils, two cups of beans (you can have canned ready if that works for you and you can find low sodium). Two cups cooked quinoa. Once all these beans and grains are cooked store them in separate small containers in the freezer. Small containers allow you to grab and warm up quickly. Especially great is slightly overcooked red lentils.
The menu for you are these with the above combinations that will take you no time to cook
1. Red lentil wrap
in order to pop the cooked and frozen stuff out of the plastic package turn it over and run it under the faucet water and it should pop out
warm up red lentils, chop onion, put parsley warm up, add garbanzo beans. warm up and serve on a wrap that can be warmed up on the gas burner
2. make a stew, you don't have to have all the ingredients as long as it is voiced sufficiently

3. blend red lentils and garbanzo beans with red pepper and fry for patties that you can put lemon salt and yogurt on top
