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.

Veggie Tacos

1 package Morningstar Farm Recipe Crumbles
1 packet MILD powdered taco seasoning
8oz shredded Mexi-cheese
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Taco Shells
MILD salsa

Cook recipe crumbles and taco seasoning in a sauce pot, adding water enough for a good consistency - maybe a cup. Chop up lettuce and tomatoes into small bits. Put out the shells, fake meat, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes in bowls to make a buffet. Make sure to use mild taco seasoning, as kids don't (usually) like hot, and make sure your taco shells are fresh. They don't last long and taste really bad when stale. Serve with mild salsa.
