    I really want to cook a healthy veggie meal for my family tonight... any suggestions?... they are very heavy meat eaters, so i want to show them that veggies are delicious and filling... :)

    any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Pasta, rice and potato dishes are all very filling. You could make a veggie lasagne, or a nut loaf with roast potatoes, veggies and gravy. Or you could make a veggie chillie with rice. Hmmm. You're options are limitless!

    Oh i think a nice meal veggie or murder filled needs planning. I think you should try a nice eggplant and tomato sauce dish. If not vegan i guess that wouls be eggplant parmesian. Eggplant when done certain ways can have a nice meaty texture and meat flavor to some.

    I would take an afternoon and do a test meal or make a small portion for lunch. Remember these are meat eaters so choose savory flavors andtextures that mock meat. Mushrooms and eggplant are great for texture. I definetly say make the kitchen your lab. As a vegitarian it is just as good for your to experiment to expand your palet not to mention what if you are destined to love a non vegy type person? It would be nice to go into it with a battery of foods to either soothe them at meal time or win them over completely

    ahah. you probably already cooked or are cooking, but lasagna takes awhile to make anyway. at least when we make it. cuz we boil the noodle thingies then fry the eggplant and then layer everything and then have to cook the thing for about 1-2 hours cuz we make ours really big...
