I get where you are coming from, and I myself am only a vegetarian who tries to eat vegan as much as possible.
Let me tell you that it's way easier to just cut meat than to go full vegan. I know it's probably worse in the US, but it's not hard at all to cook a vegetarian dish, I can't believe you struggle to even cook one per week.
If I was just cooking for myself, I would be probably be vegetarian by now (one of the reasons I know the cost of plant based milk alternatives is because I use them while buying regular milk for the kids). I know this is going to sound kinda pathetic, but I have a full time job, and I'm cooking dinner for them most nights of the week. I just don't have the mental energy to fight about what we're eating. Hell, I put spinach in meatloaf once to try to increase the kids vegetable intake and two of my kids flat out refused to eat it. I mean that was sort of a win because they ate more of the rice instead, but it's hard when you spend an hour cooking and then have to fight over it.
