I made vegetarian chili (using fake meat) with brown rice and salad tonight.

Other nights thinking of:

eggplant parmesan (bake the eggplant slices and use low fat cheese)

salmon and smashed potatoes, salad or stir fry.

lentil stew with rice or lentil shepherds pie.

I make several variations of tofu stir fry. My DH swore his dislike for tofu well, I've converted him Smile

The latest I made tasted like beef lo mein....even my DH (chinese food lover) was extremely excited about this one.

So here's the rub.
DH tells me that the reason not to have meat is aveilus and therefore no fancy dishes. Nothing but the absolute bare minimum.

And so our meals for the next days other than shabbos are - lunch - fish and rice and salad. Dinner - Scrambled eggs, toast and an apple.

Hurray (not). But aveilus it is.

Lentils and spinach

Korma-type dishes - eg onions, potatoes, chickpeas, peas and carrots with salt, curry powder and coconut milk. Serve over rice.

Stews and soups - split pea soup, red lentil soup, kohlrabi and carrot soup, sweet potato soup, "hummus soup" (has potatoes, chickpeas, onions, and some tehina in the broth).... etc.

I don't follow recipes but my inspiration came from: http://www.joyofkosher.com/rec.....raps/

We like ours hot, so I went heavier on the chilli sauce, and I sauteed mushrooms, onions and eggplant to begin with and then just added very small cubes of tofu (that had been sitting in soy/terriyaki/chilli sauce marinade)

mmm, I'm going to serve the leftovers with rice tomorrow for lunch. So so good.

Were you looking for other tofu recipes? I've posted before....

Husband says same. There goes my plan to just order a sushi platter! I'm stocking up on WW bread, buying cheese and eggs and taking out the cheese sandwich maker. Kids can make themselves whatever combos they want.
BTW, I know you said Pareve. I use the cheese sandwich machine even for pareve.
Two of my kids dislike all forms of cheese. Even they can use the cheese sandwich maker - you don't NEED cheese.
Eggs.
spinach/egg whisked together, cooked in cheese sandwich machine (makes kind of a popover thing. It's pretty good, actually)
Tuna sandwich (hot) in cheese sandwich maker
One day, I'll make a lot of waffle batter and everyone can make their own. Easy, and I don't have to deal with any arguments about who does and doesn't like their waffle in which style. Just make it yourselves, guys!
I'm also making a huge salad each day and they can play around with it for lunch and supper (add sauerkraut, israeli pickles, and techina and it's falafel style salad; add feta cheese and black olives and it's greek salad) etc.
I find that if I try to make anything, either DH is upset that I "patchked" and it's supposed to be aveilus OR kids don't eat it anyway.
Thank goodness my big boys eat in daycamp or I'd be sunk.

I have given up trying to be creative. No one eats it and husband disapproves.....

Today I made two kinds of puréed veggie soup, tuna patties, Greek yogurt latkes, pesto salmon and quinoa w black beans and tomatoes so that'll hold us for the week. Nothing fancy but all healthy.

That's how I feel too. It's fun to go all fancy but now's not the time.
You have to cook what will be eaten though so if your crowd only goes for the fancy stuff then I guess you've no choice. We have nice meals all year b'h so during the nine days I step down. Here's to hoping that next year this is a time of joy and celebration.

Here's a vegetarian chili recipe my family likes a lot:

http://www.bhg.com/recipe/smok.....hili/

Even though the recipe calls for fire-roasted diced tomatoes, I've used regular diced tomatoes and haven't noticed a difference in taste.

Some of my kids like it with cheese or sour cream but it's tasty without.

It goes well with cornbread.

LIKE!

precisely that. I always find it surprising when my friends are exchanging fancy dairy recipes for the 9 days. for a start, we eat mainly dairy anyway, meat and chicken seem to end up being more expensive. And secondly, the fancy recipes I am talkingabout seem to be more appropriate for shavuous than for the 9 days of miserable aveilus. and G-d knows how much we are feeling the aveilus this year already with so many tragic deaths of our precious Jewish boys who are fighting to protect all the inhabitants of eretz Yisrael. Eini eini yorda mayim, we are already in floods of tears over current events of this year 5774, it is all an extension of our aveilus over Yerushalayim, that we have no stability, no Bais hamikdash. Please Hashem, please end this suffering already.

While I LOVE tofu, I strongly recommend the plant-based meat from 'Beyond Meat.' They have grilled chicken and beefy crumbles - both are light and delicious.
