Meatless Mondays in Los Angeles

[Cairycat]

9. Here are some vegetarian dishes that my teens will eat

Naturally they like some of these better than others, but I've been doing two meatless meals a week for several years.

Obviously, cheese pizza and mac and cheese, from scratch
black beans and rice
Hoppin John (increase herbs & add hot peppers if desired)
quesadillas or burritos with refried beans, cheese, salsa & cilantro
vegetable curry
veggie fajitas with strips of bell pepper, crookneck and/or zucchini squash, black beans and corn
minestrone
leek & potato soup
cream of broccoli soup
hummus in pitas
felafels
I do a pasta w/beans, (onion, garlic, zucchini, black olives, tomatoes, bowtie pasta and Italian herbs) - my husband and I like it pretty well but the kids are not big fans
