[quote=Anonymous]Start by adjusting the proportions of whatever you make already. You can still make, I dunno, tacos/ nachos/ burritos, but everyone gets a couple tablespoons of meat, and fills up with rice and beans and guac and tomatoes, rather than half meat and half other stuff. Instead of 8 ounces of fish, everyone gets 3-4 ounces and a bigger serving of veg/ starch.

I grew up and learned to cook in the midwest where meat was the main event and everything else was a "side".  I started shifting gradually a few years ago. Over time we've added more vegetarian meals to the rotation, but mostly it was reducing meat and increasing the other stuff. With less meat, I got more creative with the "sides" and some of them have become their own meal. Like PP said, lentils. Throw lentils (I like red) in a pot with diced onions and garlic and S&P. Halfway through cooking, add a few cups of chopped cauliflower, a can of chick peas, any other veg that make you happy, a tablespoon of garam masala or curry powder. Serve with naan and a yogurt cucumber salad. It ain't pretty, but it's super popular at my house, and super low effort. [/quote]
