Ideas on how to cook for vegans?

My mother and her boyfriend are vegan and they're both okay with me being nearly carnivorous entirely, but I wanted to know from other vegans out there, how can I make a delicious vegan meal NON-fattening? As soy can be low in fat and nuts are high in fats (granted those are good fats) I am stuck with how to cook for her. Yesterday I made a parsnip roast with other root vegetables and fire roasted peppers and pistachios... it was good, and that means a lot since I can't often comply with vegan foods, but seriously, that was a LOT of work for a small meal. If homemade vegan food is always going to take this much effort to make healthy and delicious, I may resort to ignoring her diet completely. Though i think i'm too nice to do that without trying a few more times. =)
 
vegan chili is easy & awesome (cashews r a great ingredient), stir-fried rice & veggies is simple, homemade hummus or guacamole as dip with slices of carrots & celery & chunks of cabbage is always nice

bean salad or just regular salad is always nice

there r several types of pasta that we vegans love & 4 sauce pesto or olive paste or just oil & herbs is great

slighty steamed broccoli with a nice salad dressing is yummy & healthy

an easy homemade salad dressing is;
toasted sesame oil with good quality soy sauce/tamari & fresh ground black or white pepper

there r many good books & online resources 4 simple yummy vegan recipes, only a few clicks away
