What do you cook as a main course? Links appreciated! Bonus if it will please the kids.
-
Oh easy! Caremelized onion, cheese and potato pot pie.

-
A veggie lasagna, salad, and loaf of bread.
-
What if you do fajitas? You can still eat the meat but then have beans, plenty of veggies for them.
-
BEEF. Just kidding.
Kid-friendly, I'd do a stuffed shells recipe. Or some kind of layered mexican lasagna with beans.
Maybe less kid-friendly, I've had these recipes saved for awhile. Add salad and bread. YUM

my kid really likes these: http://www.staceysnacksonline.com/2011/01/broccoli-bites-for-kids.html and you could make them big like burgers

@looch: sounds amazing to me, but both kids hate potatoes (I didn't even know that was possible!).
@skipper2010: I wasn't thinking and made veggie lasagne last night, which we will likely have as leftovers tonight. The dinner is tomorrow night.
-
@lamariniere: doesn't surprise me, my son won't eat potatoes unless they are french fries.
-
Quiche
Mushroom gougere
Eggplant parmigiana
Pasta with veggies and cheese
Baked ziti
Pasta primavera
Bean enchiladas
Lentils with carrots, goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette -
These are a favorite around our house--and we're not vegetarians! http://www.spoonforkbacon.com/2012/03/spicy-black-bean-burger/

SkinnyTaste has a pretty comprehensive vegetarian dinner list! If you scroll down to about the middle, you'll see it.
-
If you do fajitas, just make sure to cook the meat seperately. They also make veggie "steak strips". They are in the freezer section.
They also make veggie sliders and chicken patties.
-
when we have vegetarians over we usually do a caprese pasta salad and some veggie sides. or how about a veggie frittata?
-
Baked manicotti?
-
Kid friendly, not sure. Grilled Cheese? HA.
I do a Curry Penne Pear pasta dish. nomnom.
-
I'd have a Mexican night - you could have beef available, but there would also be refried beans, cheese, lettuce, onion, etc.
-
Ratatouille? I made a great one a while back; it was time consuming but delicious and veggie-ful.
I think it was this one: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/ratatouille/
-
I'm a vegetarian and my go to meal when people pop by is minestrone soup, salad, and a pasta dish. Either fettuccine alfredo or sometimes mushroom ravioli.
Almost everyone likes it so it's pretty safe. I personally prefer more interesting, ethnic foods, but a lot of people don't so I usually don't make them for first time guests.
-
Probably a pasta dish of some kind.
-
Cauliflower "steaks"--basically thick slices of cauliflower that are roasted, or grilled. Really filling and delicious! I will make myself one if we are grilling sometimes
-
Fried rice with tofu
Shahi Paneer with jasmine rice
Black bean burgers with sweet potato fries
Pasta dish and big salad
These quinoa fontina cakes are *awesome* (They are great without the aioli too). I like them with a nice kale salad with avocado. http://www.spoonforkbacon.com/2011/11/cheesy-quinoa-cakes/
-
Quinoa stuffed eggplants! Yum! http://www.glowkitchen.com/2013/09/quinoa-and-veggie-stuffed-eggplants/
Or black bean tacos with spaghetti squash .... my sister made these recently and they were pretty delish!
http://www.mountainmamacooks.com/2013/12/spaghetti-squash-black-bean-tacos/ -
Yum yum yum! So many good ideas, now I have to narrow it down! Thanks ladies!
@yoursilverlining: unfortunately, kale does not exist around here! I loooove kale and haven't had it in more than two years!
-
@yoursilverlining: Black bean burgers are SO good! Done right, I much prefer them to beef burgers!
-
@yoursilverlining+@Grizz, you guys have a great recipe to share? I've made a few in my haydey, but they left something to be desired. They make great breakfast patties with eggs, IMO
-
@blackbird: I like them spicy! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/06/spicy-black-bean-burgers-with-chipotle.html
