[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD as been a vegetarian for a few years. Initially, she was on the white carb train - pasta, rice, potatoes - but she's gradually added more variety and veggies. Protein is always an issue as well as Vitamin D. Our pediatrician recommended using a multi-vitamin after blood work results at her annual checkup (per my request). I don't like to cook but picking recipes and cooking together on the weekends has been fun. I like the Moosewood cookbook, a classic, but check your local library as there are plenty of updated options. There are also several great food bloggers. [b] We like Smitten Kitchen [/b] mostly because her recipes are simple and she also has some amazing desserts which is always of great interest for my teen. In fact, she often likes to find a dessert recipe first. Right now, she's eating a lot of soups, which are great with this weather and they're one pot, easy clean/heat up options. Thai, Mexican, Indian and Italian are all veggie friendly. I haven't turned her completely lose in the kitchen yet, but she enjoys the few dishes she makes on her own. Good luck and have fun with your DD.[/quote]

+1 for Smitten Kitchen!

Oh She Glows is also good, although her stuff is full-on vegan. I just use regular milk instead of almond, regular cheese instead of the vegan abomination, etc.

I like Damn Delicious for recipes in general, and she has a great section of vegetarian recipes. Same with Iowa Girl Eats--we've been eating her black bean burgers for years, long before we had any vegetarians in the house.[/quote]
