I have a couple staple dishes that I make frequently with whatever veggies we have on hand (most commonly peppers, squash, eggplant, etc):
stir-fry: tofu (I'm vegetarian) + veggies. Add peanut sauce for a more Thai dish, just plain soy sauce for something very basic, or coconut milk/green curry paste for green curry! I also use rice noodles a lot more often than rice because they cook so much faster.
chili: again, saute veggies, add beans, tomatoes, chili/seasoning, etc.
spaghetti: same basic idea...saute veggies, add (fake) ground beef, tomato sauce, season w/ fresh herbs, put on noodles.
