[QUOTE="Josie, post: 210230, member: 1792"] I am not a vegetarian but difficult child 2 is. She can't eat soy so I don't use tofu but rely on eggs and beans and rice for protein. husband is also a meat and potatoes guy so I share your problem of finding something for every one. For dinner, I usually have some kind of meat, simply prepared, for husband and difficult child 1. Then I have potatoes or rice as a side for everyone. Sometimes I will have a veggie dish that can be a meal for difficult child 2 as a side for everyone else. Sometimes I just add beans or a veggie burger for difficult child 2 and a simple vegetable for everyone. I get a box of produce delivered to my house every week. I can order what I want but I also get the "local box". I don't get to pick what is in the local box. It is just whatever is available. Then I have to look for ways to use up that produce. It has caused me to try some new vegetables that I never liked before. I search the internet for recipes using whatever item I have. I like [URL='http://www.allrecipes.com']www.allrecipes.com[/URL]. If you have a farmer's market nearby, you could shop there. For lunch, difficult child 2 and I have been having a lot of vegetarian lettuce wraps and ratatouille over rice. I also make a big pot of Mexican rice that we eat for the rest of the week. Here are a few recipes: [url]http://recipes.recipeland.com/recipes/recipe/show/Easy_Ratatouille_26994[/url] Although I am not a vegetarian, I have found from cooking this way, that I no longer feel the need to have meat at every meal.
