1. Vegetable Stir-fry
A vegetable stir-fry served on top of brown rice or another whole grain (I like quinoa) is a quick, easy and healthy meatless meal idea. Use a store-bought stir-fry sauce or marinade, or, try a combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar. For the kids, cook up some Asian noodles to mix in with the stir-fry. Try adding unusual ingredients, such as diced pineapple, mandarin oranges or slivered almonds to keep it interesting, and don't forget a protein source such as tofu, seitan or a store-bought meat substitute for some chewy and hearty texture. No two stir-fries are ever quite the same, but they're always delicious, making them a great pick if you're looking for one of the best vegetarian dinners to try.

2. Vegetarian Risotto
Rice is a familiar food that your family probably already likes, so a vegetarian risotto should be a winning new favorite at the dinner table. For kids, try a super cheesy vegetarian risotto, perhaps adding some diced tofu, or, for more discerning taste buds, try a vegetarian risotto with sun-dried tomatoes (pictured) or a creamy porcini mushroom risotto. Stirring the risotto stovetop does take a bit of effort, but the end result is worth the effort if you have the time.

Enchiladas are just as delicious when made with beans and veggies instead of meat. Or, try this vegetarian portabella enchilada recipe. For an easy and customizable meatless dinner recipe, try vegetarian burritos. You can sautee a veggie filling for a bean and veggie burritos, for the kids, make a simple rice, beans and cheese vegetarian burrito, or, cook up some vegetarian meat substitutes from your grocery store freezer and let your diners add their own favorite burrito toppings to a warmed flour tortilla: shredded lettuce, sour cream, diced tomatoes and guacamole.
