[FONT=Georgia]I'm continually surprised at how many people think it would be such a daunting task! Of course it takes more thought then just boiling some hot dogs for everyone, but it really isn't much different.
When I became vegetarian, I was the only one in my immediate family. My mother didn't cook any differently, I just ate the green beans, Texas toast bread, and mac and cheese, skipping on the hamburgers or hot dogs (we were health nuts back then, can you tell?).
There was absolutely NO planning whatsoever for my mom, and if I wanted something different, I fixed it or asked for help.
Since then my mother has also gone vegetarian, and we're the kind that really do eat vegetables, now.
The entire family has benefited from it, and eat much less meat, though no one else is vegetarian.
Hope this was more than just a unhelpful, jumbled mess!
Edit: I forgot to mention all the wonderful
fake meats there are out there! When we fix them, my brothers (not vegetarians) can't even tell the difference! So no need to fear craving/missing meat.
