Vegetarian Casserole For Spanish Rice Frittata


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.

As meat eaters the first thing we asked the pediatrician was what do vegetarians eat?

It seems like such a silly question now because we have learned over the years that creating veggie meals is a lot easier than you think.

These are just a few ideas. Don’t be afraid to be creative when planning your family meals.

Experiment with different substitutions in your meatless recipes to create new dinner meals the entire family will enjoy.

And don’t worry if your veggie diets also excludes milk products there are many soy based products available on the market today that can replace milk, yogurt and margarine just to name a few.

Add in a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and you can create tasty veggie recipes with ease.

Go on a shopping trip through your local health food store and you will see exactly what I mean, the aisle’s will create even more possibilities for your perfect easy veggie meals.

You don’t have to sacrifice taste or texture when creating veggie meals. Creating a “meatless” lifestyle for one family member or the whole gang can be achieved with some simple substitutions.

  • A soybean based Temphe – it offers the texture of meat without any of the animal by products
  • Tofu – cheap and easy to get your hands on, it is regular stocked product in all major grocery stores
  • Beans – O.K. not only cheap but the possibilities are endless with the many variety of beans available
  • Nuts – perfect for a veggie snack but also adds flavor to your veggie meals
  • Legumes – focus on what’s in season to create the “cheap” vegetable meal

    • Keeping some of the basic veggie cooking ingredients well stocked in your fridge and pantry will also help create easy meatless meals planning. A variety of basic ingredients can include:

    • fruits and vegetables – looks for whats in season to save some money
    • spices – this is where you can get creative
    • pasta or noodles
    • rice – brown rice and white rice
    • cereals
    • seeds and nuts
    • beans – beans -beans -yes lots of different kinds of beans (you will thank me for this)
