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.

Tofu & Mashed Potatoes

  • BBQ tofu from PCC
  • 3 large potatoes
  • 4 tbs butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Small can of Veg-all
  • Fruit (what have you)
Peel and halve the potatoes. Boil them for 35 minutes and drain. Mash them and add butter, milk and salt. Mix them with an electic mixer until smooth. I get the barbecued tofu already made from our local co-op and just heat it up in the microwave.
