Smitten Kitchen's Vegan Section

Smitten Kitchen has a whole tagged collection of easy vegan recipes, many of which fall under the category of "happen to be vegan by default", with basic pantry staples vs an entirely new form of cooking and needing new ingredients - lots of familiar, simple things here that you may not have even realized were vegan, and a good start (the photo here is the pasta e ceci, which is delicious, easy, and perfect for fall)
