What can I make for dinner for a family of four... I have:

Tinned toms
Cauliflower
Carrots
Onions
Rice
Pasta
Pots
Aubergine

A bit of cheese, a few eggs.

No meat!

Help!

Veggie curry, omelette or frittata maybe?

Egg fried rice with the veg added, grill aubergine first.

Aubergine curry: aubergine browned off in curry spices, add onions then tomatoes. If you have coconut milk chuck some of that in, and juice of 1/4 lemon if you've one just before you serve it. With rice.

Use cauliflower and (pre-boiled potatoes), cumin and chillies all fried up together as side dish.

No spices? Sorry.

I’d do veg curry with that. Or a pasta bake.

I'd just do a big tomato pasta sauce. Fry the onions very slowly first, then add some chopped carrots (or even grated), some chopped aubergine. Once mostly cooked, I'd add some cauliflower. Then add the tins of tomato, some basic herbs (some basil and paprika or oregano etc), salt, pepper and a teaspoon of sugar. Let simmer for at least 30 minutes, 45 if you have time. Taste. If the flavour is a bit intense, add some milk and stir in well. Serve with pasta.

Vegetable soup
Potato wedges with fried eggs (and beans if you have them?)
Omelettes
Cheesy pasta
Egg fried veggie rice
Vegetarian lasagne/ pasta bake
Baked potatoes with grated carrot salad and boiled eggs
Cauliflower curry

Assuming that you and the toddler are stuck can one/both of the other two not pick something up on their way home?

Like pizza? Grin
