I want to encourage this change in her eating habits because its healthier. But now I don’t know what to cook (most of my recipies are meat based) and when we go out to eat its hard to find a place that we both like (I’m tired of chinese and italian). Most places only offer a veggie burger. Do you know of any good vegitarian restraunts (in the chicago area) and recipies?

I’m so glad your daughter has made this decision. And I’m so glad you are supportive of her.
Two great websites: http://www.vegweb.com for recipes
http://www.happycow.net for restaurants. I always see ads for Chicago Diner in veg magazines, so maybe you could check that out if it’s not too far away. If I ever get up that way, I will have to check it out myself!
There are also tons of vegetarian and vegan cookbooks out there, more than I can possibly list here. Sarah Kramer’s cookbooks (How it All Vegan!, Garden of Vegan, and La Dolce Vegan) have a fun, kicky feel to them and fairly simple recipes.
