know of a good resource for kid-friendly veggie meals?

Do you know of either a cookbook or website that has great kid-friendly vegetarian meals? my kids aren't huge bean fans, aren't too picky. I'd like to move towards a less-meat based diet for our family for health and budget reasons, and need some inspiration!

Molly Katzen has a few children's cookbooks that are all vegetarian. (She's the author of the Moosewood Cookbooks.) I haven't used them, but I have used and enjoyed her recipes in other cookbooks. I find kid-made meals are great to add to the repertoire.

Honest Pretzels
Salad People
Pretend Soup

For lunch inspiration, you've got to check out the archives over at http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/ if you haven't seen that blog before. She's got links to a bunch of her recipes... the rest are available in a cookbook she wrote. Unfortunately, she's not doing daily blogging any more.

You may want to check out Better than Peanut Butter and Jelly. I checked it out from the library, and we liked everything that we tried. Another good resource for family-friendly veg recipes is http://www.meatlessmonday.org/ They sometimes offer fish recipes though, which makes no sense, but whatever...

I just checked this out from the library this weekend (along with 7 more cookbooks) - It looks like a winner... I'm not quite Vegan, just a new vegetarian, but I see veganism in my future... Now with the children it'll be harder as they are still omnivores... We'll have to see.

It may make no sense from a vegetarian perspective, but they're looking at it from a "healthier eating" perspective. For them meat = red meat and poultry. "Flesh" foods...like being allowed fish on "fasting" days.
