Gyoza w ramen salad

Mushroom terrine w/cheese plate
Veg sausage and peppers w rotini

Also, when we eat out, he can order meat, and he gets lunch at work at least twice a week, he can eat meat then. Having veg dinners won't kill him.


Gyoza with ramen - my two favorite food groups in one meal! Can you share the recipe? Also, what is a bollito?

Cook a big batch of ground beef, freeze in individual portions. Make veg chili and add a portion of cooked ground beef to his. Or baked potatoes with lots of toppings, cooked ground beef available for him.

Set up a grill or broiler pan with a steak, portobello mushroom or two, some sliced eggplant. Roast it all at the same time, steak for him, roasted veggies for you.

Burgers - beef for him, veggie for you.

I'm in the same boat. DH isn't open minded at all about his food so we usually cook 2 meals, or I eat the sides I make (usually roasted veggies) as my meal alongside a salad.

I would love to have more meals in our rotation besides the same 3 you mentioned.

OP, what is the framework of your vegetarianism? Are you ovo lacto, vegan. Etc.?

Visit the blog Kitchen Treaty - blogger is veg and her husband isn't. She has a lot of recipes where you can add meat or modify. It's great.

We eat vegetarian most of the time. Once a week or so there's chicken, and I'll make a protein packed side as my dinner along with another veggie or salad - quinoa, bean salad etc. Chili. Quiche. Bean tortillas. Lo mein, or stir fry over noodles (this is good to serve w meat on the side). Tonight was both chicken and tofu. Homemade veg burgers (sometimes they eat the veg ones, sometimes a regular burger or turkey burger). Veggie pot pie. Felafel.

I make a veggie lasagna sometimes. I usually mix tofu, squash, mushrooms, eggplant, onions, and a bottle of pasta sauce. I use those flat lasagna pieces on the bottom and top to make it lasagna-ish (and put pasta sauce on the bottom of the pan and then on the top. I think I baked it for like 45 min at 350 wh tin foil on top. I then put mozzerella cheese on top and baked it for another 15 minutes.

i'd imagine you can do many things veg/non veg - like make a stir fry, but stir fry the meat separately and add it on top and top with a bit more sauce, etc.

we are not veg but I use meat sparingly or as a topping/add in, rather as the main focus of the meal. you can do a grilled cheese and tomato soup (I have an amazing creamless cream of tomato soup that takes 10 min), and put ham or a meet in DH's sandwich..

Neither of us is vegetarian--but we eat lots of vegetarian meals. Right now we're in soup mode. Some favorites are (some of these call for chicken broth, but just sub in veggie broth):

--Marcella Hazan's Chickpea and Tomato Soup http://notesondinner.com/2010/03/22/finally-a-soup-for-my-sister/
--Senagalese Peanut Stew
http://www.food.com/recipe/mark-bittmans-senegalese-peanut-soup-271533
--cream of cauliflower
--Lentil, Bean, or Split Pea Soup (throw some ham in DH's bowl if he wants a non-vegetarian version)

We also eat a lot of veggie risottos and Indian food.

I'm vegetarian and DH is not.

I'm out of ideas and tired of our old standbys - taco night, pasta night, pizza night.

Anyone out there with a similar household? What do you have for dinner? Do the adults make their own meals?
