Veggie Meals Made Easy

When I began preparing meatless meals to accommodate my son’s veggie diet, I found that the simplest way to create a meal for both him and the family was vegetarian casseroles. I could prepare the veggie casserole to suit my son and for the family include meat as a side dish.

Trying to find simple yet delicious easy vegetarian casseroles was difficult. I wanted ingredients that would benefit my son’s veggie diet but also appeal to the rest of the family.

If there were to many veggies, only Jackson would eat it. Many of the vegetarian casseroles I tried were to bland, we needed meatless recipes that were full of flavor.

A Vegetarian Friend of ours gave me a copy of this Vegetarian Casserole Recipe for Spanish Rice Frittata. It was just what I needed. It contain the important green veggie foods necessary for my sons diet along with the perfect blend of seasoning and spices.

I would recommend this Spanish Vegetable Dish to any vegetarian or those just looking for a simple healthy veggie recipe. It a great meatless meal on its own.

For the family like mine that feeds both types, let this be the meatless main dish and add your choice of cooked meat as a side dish.
