Help!My daughters gone veggie.

[Lez]

I thought it would be a flash in the pan but fair play,shes kept it up.Any ideas for quick `n` easy meals?

In a word Quorn. They do lots of meat alternatives, mince, chicken style nuggets, chicken style fillets, burgers (southern style, pork and apple style etc) fajitas strips, lamb style grills. Although I am not strictly a veggie, (I just don't have confidence in the meat available) so we eat loads of Quorn in different shape and form. We have burgers in buns with all the salad etc with Quorn burgers, we have pitta breads stuffed with salad and the lamb style grills topped with some Greek yogurt mixed with mint jelly, we have fajitas using the strips, we have spag bol, chilli, shepherds pie etc all using the quorn mince

Thanks guys.The only Quorn product she will eat is the mince.Tried her with the chicken type products but it just ends up in the bin.

Cauldron Products are really good if you are looking for ready meals. Fresh and frozen. Birds Eye do vegetable burgers and things that you could do for your daughter when you have ordinary burgers, just go along those lines. Plus try some of the stuff yourself - a lot of non-veggies love vegetarian foods!
How about vegetable spring rolls, omellets, maybe make up lentil stews in advance and freeze in portions so you can defrost in microwave?

Go to Asda they have loads of stuff ..my son has been a veggie for the last ten years ..it has saved my life !
They have their own brand veggie sausages ,kievs ,beany grill thingys ..veggie pies and so on.
Failing that he will eat omelettes with cheese and mushroom .any veg obviously and salads .Vegetable soups ,I make vegetable pasta bake ,vegetable quiche and so on. He will eat a roast dinner ,no meat of course and you can get veggie gravy and veggie suet now . A favourite is veg in the hole instead of toad !
These are the best sites I have found for veggie recipes and info

Thanks Shaneystar2,Yes, she does eat omelettes in fact eggs are a life saver.She loves a sunday roast without meat and with veggie gravey.Shes tried the sausages but didnt like them.Its one thing being a fussy eater but veggie as well,its a nightmare.I must say though,shes starting to convert me,i`ve stopped eating lamb.

Well ..good luck Lez ..my son was the original bacon sarnie boy ..A pound of sausages in one go !! He was never a fussy eater until he turned veggie !
But over the years I have got feeding him down to a fine art !
It was always so difficult at first as my other son is not a veggie . So I was cooking two or three different meals sometimes .But he's away now and his girlfriend can cook for him ! But picky is still here !
To be quite truthful we also don't eat half as much meat as we used to .if it wasn't for Mr S who loves his meat and two veg I think I could quite cheerfully forgo meat .
