Vegetarian Family Meals and Menus

It can be tough coming up with vegetarian menus for young children to eat. Kids are notoriously picky eaters. The following are by no means gourmet, but they work for me. We eat eggs and cheese, so these are ovo-lacto vegetarian meals. There are two (small) kids and two adults in our family, so these meals are sized for that. All of these meals are very humble, but it took me some time to figure them out. I hope this blog will be useful to other parents.

Quesedillas

  • Flour tortillas (soft taco size)
  • Shredded Mexican cheese
  • Red & green lettuce
  • Fruit cocktail
Get a non-stick frying pan nice and hot at medium heat on the stove. Put a tortilla in it and warm, flipping once. Sprinkle cheese on one side of it and fold in two. Press down with spatula. Cook until the cheese melts, flipping once or twice. Cut into four little pie-shaped pieces. Serve with mild salsa. Serve the lettuce plain or with raspberry vinaigrette.
