Awesome advice! I'm not really trying to do "little work" just don't wanna spend 3 hours cooking two-three different meals every night!

Is there some reason your housemate can't cook for themselves if they're is not willing to eat the same meal as you? They're an adult, they can learn to cook if they don't currently have the skills and are unwilling to eat what you make. Or barring that, they can share your main dish and add whatever they like to it to make it more tasty. You could google "vegetarian recipes for carnivores" and get a lot of hits on things they may be more willing to try.

The toddler is another issue, most of them are so very fixated on specific foods I'd just make whatever they're willing to eat. Try feeding them your new recipes though - my neice and nephews were surprisingly adventurous eaters at 4 years old. But only for some things.

I am the only person in the house who is able to cook.

When you say "housemates" are you talking about roommates or is this family. When I had roommates, everyone fended for themselves for the most part...I was the only one with cooking abilities but I sure wasn't going to be making dinner for everyone, particularly if they were going to complain or be picky...

There are plenty of things they can eat which require little more than boiling water...if they expect you to cook for them then they should just shut up and eat what is on the menu...IMO, it's a pretty unrealistic expectation of a roommate. Also, pretty much if you can read, you can cook...

does it matter if she means family or housemates? she stated she is the only one who can cook so lets move on from that minute fact snd help her with what shes asked for.

But why should they have to change their diet and go vegetarian just because she did?

I've been a vegetarian since August 1993. So 23+ years. I don't get too many recipes off the internet because of the variable quality of the sources (some are great, some have terrible typos that could lead to recipe fails, some are in between, and it is not always easy to tell which is which just on sight).

I tend to go for cookbooks, instead. Here are some I like:

Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson (many recipes can be adapted for preparation on the stove top if you don't have a slow cooker, or just buy a slow cooker during a Black Friday sale later this month)

How to Cook Everything Vegetarian by Mark Bittman (lots of cheese, though, so maybe not the best for weight loss)

Mediterranean Harvest by Martha Rose Shulman

My husband is not a vegetarian but we eat/cook vegetarian at home.
