How do you plan a vegetarian meal if you are a reformed carnivore?

I am transitioning my family to a more vegetarian diet and without meat as a centerpiece of dinner, I'm a little stumped. I can do the one pot stuff, and we love it, but how do you do everyday meal planning?


Answer
Vegetable Lasagna and salad (Cut leftovers into individual portion sizes and freeze for another meal). I like to use roasted vegetables like butternut squash, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggplant, layered with the lasagna noodles and a mixture of ricotta, mozzarella and parmagiano cheese. We are not vegetarians, but do try to eat meatless several days a week. For a less fattening version, use a sauce made with low fat cream cheese or other low fat cheese instead of the 3 cheeses.

Portobello Mushroom Burgers: Marinate the whole portobellos in minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, olive oil, and salt & pepper for a couple of hours. Grill, pan fry or broil the mushroom until nice and soft. Serve on a bun with usual fixings or as that centerpiece of your dinner with Oven Baked French fries and a salad or vegetable.

Soups: I often make soup as our main meal serving a salad before or after the soup. To low sodium vegetables add canned or cooked beans or lentils and pasta. Allow to simmer about 20 minutes, then add any vegetables you like. One of my favorites is Barilla 3 cheese tortellini simmered in the low sodium vegetable broth until done, Remove the tortellini, add some cooked lentils and a can of drained chopped tomatoes and heat. Add back the torellini. Serve over raw julienned baby spinach.

You can find recipes for burgers and meatloaf made with lentils or other beans. Check the frozen food section of your market for more ideas or google recipes. .
