I signed up to make dinner for a family that is in need of assistance (Dad just had a bad stroke) and I'm at a loss on what to make them for dinner.

Mom is a vegetarian, Dad and the girls are not. I want to make something fun that they all can enjoy. Not two separate meals.

Can you help me with a fun, kid friendly, vegetarian dish or a fun, kid friendly dish that I can easily take meat out of for a portion?

Thank you so much!

:heart: Kendra

P.S. Prayers, chants, wishes are all welcome to help the family and Dad out.

    Veggie lasagna? DD makes this version which is really yummy. The mushrooms satisfy my carnivore husband.

    Since Mom is a vegetarian the kids are likely used to bean dishes. A bean or grain based soup will satisfy and can be frozen for later use, if they have leftovers.

    How about something like fajitas? You could grill up lots of veggies and a protein (chicken, beef), and include all the fixings like sour cream, shredded lettuce, cheese. and tortillas. Assuming mom is a vegetarian and not a vegan, she could make a veggie fajita while the rest of the family adds meat to theirs.....?

    ETA: Probably best to grill the protein separately though, for mom's sake.

    I second the lasagna.

    You could also make a quiche with veggies and cheese. Macaroni and Cheese is another option. Vegetarian chili.
