What to cook…

[Anonymous]

I’m SO sick of meal planning. Please tell me what to make this week for my family - 2 kids, 3 adults, one tween vegetarian. Needs to be simple, can be made in slow cooker or in @30 mins.

Haluski? Sautéed cabbage and onions with some oil, pepper and salt. Mix in egg noodles. Super easy and perfect for a cozy quick supper.

Vegetarian tacos are our new fav good. I use the beefless beef crumbles from Trader Joe’s. Add in some black beans. Use old El Paso mild seasoning. Add whatever else everyone likes.

Are you looking for full vegetarian meals, or things where the tween can remove meat (or everyone else can add it)?

Baked potato bar is always a hit here. Toppings can include chili (meat or vegetarian, depending on the answer above), crumbled bacon for those who eat it, black beans, chopped and roasted broccoli, and of course cheese / sour cream / avocados / etc.

Ok, I’ll add a bit more info…
Dh doesn’t eat carbs
12yo doesn’t eat any meat or fish
I cannot have soy so fake meats are out
I typically try to do 1-2 vegetarian meals for us all and then have something dd can eat alongside the side dishes of meals with meat.

Sorry, just saw it needs to be vegetarian.

When you say he doesn't eat carbs, do you mean like bread and pasta, or any carbs like beans too?

Can you eat beans?

Black bean tacos (regular sour cream, not the fake soy stuff in the recipe). H can put the fillings on greens if he doesn't want tortillas.

He will eat a little beans sometimes. Prefers not to. I make tacos pretty regularly, either chicken or fish for most of us and beans for vegetarian.

Also make a lot of chili, roast chicken, curries, stir fries, meat of some sort with 2 vegetables (dd makes a veggie burger or falafel or something).

Stuffed peppers - many recipes to choose from to fit your parameters

Omelettes or frittata

Sheet pan italian subs from NYT - the kids can put in rolls and the salami can be kept on one side of the pan
