1) Rice, steamed with seasonings, vegetables, etc mixed in (requires
several rounds in the rice cooker).  Or you could do fried rice, which
takes a bit longer.
2) Vegetable stir fry - mix of peppers, onions, celery, carrots, water
chestnuts, mushrooms with usual stuff like ginger, garlic, oyster
sauce, soy sauce, etc.
3) Single vegetable dishes:
   a) spinach stir fried with garlic - only hassle is peeling enough
garlic.  Fry garlic in oil until fragrant, then toss one bag of spinach in
for 1 minute, cover, and you're done.  Repeat with further bags of spinach
as necessary.
   b) same as above, but with beansprouts, and maybe 5 minutes of frying.
4) Things with lots of liquid:
   a) curry - Anjali's the expert on this
   b) soup - clear vegetable soup with zuccini, artichokes, carrots,
potatoes, mushrooms.  Chop, chop, dice, dice, boil.
5) Ostrich egg omelette.

My personal feed-a-thousand-on-a-shoestring meal revolves around a hearty
tomato lentil stew served with sour cream on top. You can usually do one
for well under a buck a head, leaving plenty of cash for a fabulous salad
and loaves of hearty bread. Advantage: only one big pot, one big bowl, and
a bread knife.

Slightly more fun are make-your-own burritos: Big pot of black beans and
rice (cheap and easy), lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, grated cheese, salsa,
sour cream, tortillas. You could even do some chicken, I suppose. Tortilla
chips on the side, and voila! (Or should I say ole!)

1.  Lentil soup with warm bread and side salad (or many other soups.)

2.  Lasagna (with monterey jack or mozerrella rather than riccotta to
reduce price, tortilla strips rather than lasagna noodles to make it
quicker to make, but slightly more expensive), ceasar salad and garlic
bread.

3.  Spanish rice; essentially a spaghetti sauce with sauteed onions, green
peppers, and any other spices you like mixed with steamed rice, can also
use spciy italian sausage for a little extra kick.  goes well with
cornbread and a side of black or red beans, or maybe steamed cauliflower.

4.  Penne with broccoli sauteed in a garlic butter sauce (can also add
chunks of boneless chicken if budget allows) with a veggie side and bread.

5.  Fajitas (chicken or just veggie with bell peppers, onions, and
tomatoes) also goes well with cornbread and blackbeans or rice.

6.  Stuffed squash with a side of mixed steamed vegetables and mashed
potatoes (could substitute squash with marinated chicken breasts.)

7.  Basic macaroni and cheese with the addition of steamed chopped
broccoli, chopped tomatoes, and chili powder to taste (possibly a little
cayenne, and can also add italian sausage or ground beef browned with
chili powder) served with bread or biscuits (baking powder not sweet.)
