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.

Pasta Fazool

Here's a vegan dish that the kids would eat - pasta fazool. There are many recipes. The one I chose uses canned beans and mostly ingredients that you can keep on the shelf. It's a recipe that you can vary to fit what you have around.

One tip: leave out the pepper, a frequent turnoff for my kids at least. You can easily add pepper at the table from the pepper shaker - easy peasy.

It goes well with some Italian bread, or even cornbread.
