Easy meal ideas for part vegetarian family

Anonymous
I am a vegetarian and DH is not. He likes to have meat each night with dinner. Has anyone in this situation figured out how to prepare easy healthy meals for a family like ours. We have one child and he eats meat.
Thanks

What about making pasta with a sauce you like and just sauteing some chicken breast strips to put on top of theirs?

For example, this is yummy:

I use dry sherry instead of balsamic, and you can obviously sub veggie broth. Then add the chicken after you serve yourself:

That would be my suggestion, too...things like tacos, burritos, pasta, chili that would lend themselves to having meat added on top.

I agree with the other posters, make what you would normally make that is vegetarian. Get a grill pan--I have a square LeCruset pan with the enamel. Buy cuts of meat that work for stove top grilling--chicken breasts, fish filets, lamb chops, steak. Very quick.

Red beans and rice - DH then adds sausage to his, I do not (or I add veggie "meatballs").

I've made lasagna before with veggies throughout and then done meat only on one side - you just have to mark which side it is
