5 Meatless Meals the Whole Family Will Love

There are two kinds of rice going on in this colorful stir-fry: brown rice and the cauliflower kind. Pineapple gives the whole mix a little sweetness, and cashews add some extra crunch.

This seasoned quinoa-and-beans combo is the plant equivalent of taco meat. Fill a plate for yourself, but let the kids serve themselves. (Who knows which foods they won’t want touching this week?)

Cooked lentils, breadcrumbs, chopped spinach, and loads of Italian seasoning make these meat-free meatballs just as savory and satisfying as the real thing.

Miso paste flavors the soup, while precooked tofu cuts simmering time.

Sautéed zucchini and smoked mozzarella stand in for pepperoni in this crowd-pleasing entrée. Raw garlic in the uncooked, ready-in-10-minutes tomato sauce adds punch. If you don't want to wait the hour for the dough to become easier to work with, use a store-bought ready-to-heat flatbread crust and follow the package instructions. For heat-lovers, drizzle the finished pie with chile oil.
