Default I could use some help with meatless menu planning!

I need help figuring out about a week's worth of meatless menus.

Right now I'm coming up on "the nine days"- a period of time when Orthodox Jews don't eat meat. Both of the Temples (first and second, in the exact same spot but different times in history) were desecrated on the 9th of the Hebrew month of Av. The time from the first of Av until the 9th of Av are considered a period of semi-mourning, and one of the things prohibited during this time is the consumption of meat and wine. I can still have fish, eggs, and dairy products.

I'm not going to have fish for every meal, so I need some help figuring out vegetarian low carb meals. In the past, I would serve a lot of beans and pasta dishes during this time- that's obviously no longer an option. Soy doesn't really agree with me- I could serve it once, but no more than that or it will affect my health. I can't have cow's milk protein (butter and cream are OK) and the only kosher non-cow cheeses available to me are mild goat milk cheese and sheep milk feta.

Any ideas besides tofu stir-fry and quiche?
