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.

Bean and Cheese Burritos

  • Flour tortillas
  • Can of refried beans (vegetarian)
  • Shredded Mexi-cheese
  • Canned peas
  • Blueberries
Empty the beans into a saucepan and add a little water, just enough so you can stir it. Heat up peas in another (small) pan. Warm up a tortilla on both sides in an ungreased non-stick skillet. Spoon a line of beans across the tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold into burrito shape. Serve with peas and berries when the cheese is melted.
