Hellobee Boards

@AnnabelleG: Not any sites or cookbooks but I joined a Vegan/Vegetarian group on Facebook a while back. There's loads of recipe ideas and advice.

Thug Kitchen! Funny and great recipes (and I am saying this as a non-vegan).

I started my plant-based diet by getting recipes at https://www.vegetariantimes.com/

And like others said above, smitten kitchen and minimalist baker are good sites. I often just google what I'm looking for, and great blogs pop up!

My biggest tip is don't try to change everything at once. My easiest way to introduce vegetarian food was through soups/stews cuz hubby didn't really miss the meat. We don't really use meat substitues or tofu, but we do eat the Morningstar farm breakfast sausages and keep the buffalo chik'n patties in the freezer for quick dinners or salad toppings.

I think I have an old thread about vegetarian meals for toddlers someplace, let me see if I can find it. It gave me a bunch of great sites and ideas for kids.

The biggest thing for me when deciding to include more vegetarian options was to make the decision whether or not I was looking for meat replacements and using them in my current recipes or looking for different methods by which to cook non meat meals.

My husband doesn't like the idea of analogues, so it was more of an effort to figure out meals that aren't centered around pasta and cheese. Luckily, we both like beans, so that's a great option.

We also eat a lot of seafood, which I realize isn't vegetarian, not sure how that fits in for you.
