Vegetarian

As long as your child is getting adequate levels of necessary nutrients for growth and development, a vegetarian diet can often be the healthiest, with the lowest fat and highest vitamin and mineral content. And even if you and your children aren’t vegetarians, it’s good for you, and the environment, to go without meat once in a while. These recipes are delicious and even the vegetable phobic will struggle not to like them. There are also plenty of other vegetarian friendly recipes in the other sections so go browse.
