I want to start feeding my family one vegan meal a week and was curious if anyone had a favorite website or recipe that they LOVE it has to be kid friendly, I have 4 boys one of them a teenager that is totally not willing to go vegan but I wanted to try to at least make one dinner a night vegan so that way I can have one full day of vegan eating, I am just starting out with this so need some good resources!!

    I am not a vegan but I was a vegetarian for 12 years. I still love anything vegan/vegetarian. My new favourite website is http://peasandthankyou.com/recipage/

    My absolute favourite is the "Saag Peaneer" . As long as I stick to the portion size it does not hurt my calories at all.

    Something I recently tried and love it! Taken from All Recipies.com but modified. And my family is not Vegan but loves this!

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 red bell pepper, diced
    1 green bell pepper, diced
    1 fresh jalapeno pepper, diced
    4 stalks of celery diced
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1 onion, chopped
    1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, with liquid
    1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
    1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
    1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
    1 (15 ounce) can chili beans in spicy sauce, undrained (Bush's)
    1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans
    1/2 bag frozen okra
    2 tablespoons Chipolte peppers in Adobo sauce (Hot!)
    2 tablesppons ground cumin
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    2 teaspoons dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

    Saute' the raw veggies in the oil; combine with all the canned veggies, tomatoes, frozen okra and beans. Cook for at least 1 hour on medium. Enjoy! Can be served over rice, pasta or on it's own since it has complex carbs in the beans. Top with a tablespoon or two of light or low-fat sour cream to reduce the heat and make a little creamier.

    Hands down my favorite vegan recipe. You can easily omit some of the spice to make it kid friendly. Don't even mention the fact that it's ground soy and I promise you they won't notice a difference!

    I'm curious. I've been leaning toward more meatless meals, but I have a question...did you find you missed non-vegeterian eating? Sometimes

    I'm curious. I've been leaning toward more meatless meals, but I have a question...did you find you missed non-vegeterian eating? Sometimes I'm satisfied with vegeterian fare, but other times, I feel I really need the protein from meat or dairy. If you're interested in sharing, I'd like to hear about your experience, and the differences you experienced.
