Another rec for Moosewood--I have Moosewood Cooks at Home and Simple Suppers. Bittman's vegetarian cookbook is good, too. I also suggest getting a good Italian or other Mediterranean cookbook--there are lots of great pasta dishes, for example, with vegetables and legumes, or regional dishes made with farro, or fish.

Moosewood's Simole Suppers is a good one.

A couple I'd recommend: Plenty, which is all vegetarian, truly wonderful, and also Alice Waters' Vegetables. I cook from those all the time. The Vegetables book is my daily go-to, and Plenty is for when I want to try something new. Haven't had a bad dish from either of them.

I second the Moosewood cookbooks, I have the New Classics one. I'd recommend checking out a few from your local library first, or spend an hour or so in Barnes and Noble flipping through some to see what jumps out at you.
The Vegetarian Times website is also great- you can sign up for emails to receive a recipe of the week.

Any of Deborah Madison's books are great: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is a tome, but it's been one of my favorites for 15 years. I also really like Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian.
Is a Chandra Moscowitz's books are all vegan, but I think most of her stuff would be pretty kid friendly.

The Bittman book is excellent--lots of simple recipes and tons of modifications/variations, so you can go fairly basic or get exotic and try out new ingredients. I also like all of the Moosewood cookbooks, but particularly the original one and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest. There are also a lot of fantastic websites/blogs. Heidi Swanson's 101 Cookbooks site has a ton of recipes; we have several in our regular rotation and I have yet to find one that hasn't been good. Our library has quite a few veg cookbooks in their e-books catalog, as well as print copies, so you might also check out a few of those before you commit to anything. Have fun!

My whole family (myself included) really enjoy having meat for dinner but we're trying to eat healthier and replacing one or two meals a week with a meatless dinner. What I don't want is to substitute with a meal heavy in dairy (cheese) which is the first thing I can come up with. We do eat fish 6 or so times a month and eat bean dishes a lot in the crockpot - but even those usually have ham, sausage, or bacon for flavoring.
We do occasionally make indian vegetarian dishes, but my 4 year old doesn't love it so we only do that about 2 times a month since we always make him eat what we eat but I don't want to make things he doesn't like every night.
Any suggestions?
