My girlfriends mom bought a book called, "Vegan Cooking For Carnivores". It seriously has some of the most amazing recipes for Vegan Chicken Pot Pie, Southern Fried Chicken, and Mac and Cheese. I don't have the book with me so I can't copy the recipes right now, but trust me if you buy it you won't regret it.

Vegan Cooking for Carnivores
Good recipes and a fun, informational read.
Sometimes I'm bad - being an Italian giving up cheese has proven to be difficult! But, I've been working on cutting out dairy completely for a few years now and here's my list:
Soy or coconut milk, depending on the use - I find plain soy milk is the easiest replacement for milk in savory recipes.
Veganaise to make my own ranch dressing or vegetable dips.
Avocado for sour cream (lots of burrito bowls in our house!).
Tofutti cream cheese - I actually prefer it to regular. Their sour cream isn't so great though, IMO.
Coconut milk ice cream - and I make my own dairy free ice creams sometimes, but it's been an experiment for the most part.
It's worth looking at some vegan recipes for some of your normal favorites - mac and cheese, enchiladas, lasagna, etc. If you're not much of a cook, some of the recipes can seem a little daunting, but once you're more used to the typical replacements, you can cherry-pick what "normal" ingredients you can leave in.
If your grocery store has a "natural" section, and I imagine most do these days, spend a little time wandering the aisles, especially the refrigerated section - try a few of their dairy free options, figure out what your options are in your area and what actually works for you.
A couple of my favorite cookbooks:

The Cheesy Vegan
Good luck!

I'm not a fan of meat substitutes, but that's because I don't like meat... I know Ellen DeGeneres always talks about some brand that is supposed to be good... when I tired to look it up I found this: http://www.amazon.ca/Vegan-Cooking-Carnivores-Recipes-Tasty/dp/1609412427
I think my two favorites are The Sexy Vegan Cookbook and Vegan Cooking for Carnivores
I know you said vegetarian, but you could use your milk/eggs wherever the recipes replace them if you'd like. Some good stuff in these two! :)
This was on the ellen show, and all of the stuff looked super easy to make It's vegan, but its the same principle
