Meatless meals your H will actually eat

littlemisswitness

Hey all! We are looking to take meat out of our menu a little bit. It's expensive and we are also trying to be a little more healthy. The problem is that DH is a carnivore!!

What are some hubby-approved meatless recipes you have? TIA.

My husband and I love quinoa. It's like rice, but much healthier and has protein in it, so it's good for nights you want to go meatless.

Last night I made swiss chard saute'd with mushrooms, and scallions. Then I added it to the quinoa with some salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and shaved parmesean cheese. My husband looooved it and had 2nds! No meat!

I agree with using quinoa.  Here's a couple of our favorites:

Mexican Quinoa-Stuffed Peppers

Quinoa "Burgers" 

Also we like using eggs for protein as well- quiches, breakfast casseroles.  

Crustless Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

Spinach & Cheese Quiche

Breakfast Taquitos

Black Bean Burgers

Chili Lime Tofu

Spinach Lasagna Rolls

Baked Penne with Roasted Vegetables

Greek Pita Pizzas

I'm fortunate enough that my DH isn't a picky eater. He was worried about missing meat at first, but he enjoys many meals as much as I do. Here's a link to my Meatless tab on my blog.

My H likes meat, but will cook and eat plenty of vegetarian and vegan food too. My brother is a little pickier, but I've gotten him to eat this vegan "almost lasagna" http://www.care2.com/greenliving/italian-lasagna-vegan-style.html?page=4 and chickpea burgers. I've got a ton of yummy vegan and vegetarian recipes on my Pinterest page: http://pinterest.com/kipnus/
