[quote=Anonymous]We’re a veggie family with a picky kid and these are our lifesavers:
-Pasta made from lentils or chickpeas combined with pasta made from brown rice and quinoa.  You have to cook them separately, but I make a box of each and have leftovers for lunches.
-Edamame is great because if your kids like it, you can find it at a lot of restaurants.  We also used it as a gateway to tofu.  Firm or extra firm tofu cut into strips and baked was known as edamame fries at our house for a long time.
-Eggs, if they work for you.  We eat them every day so I don’t stress as much about protein the rest of the time.  Also breakfast for dinner like eggs and pancakes.
-Avocados are great for healthy fats.
-Beans in tacos, beans and rice, etc.
-We also do deconstructed versions of the meal for our kid too because he doesn’t like spicy or most sauces.

The part I found hardest about switching to veg was changing how I planned a meal.  Before it was meat and a side now it requires thinking about the meal more as a whole like roasted sweet potatoes with broccoli and white beans.[/quote]
