[quote=Anonymous]So we make a lot of adjustments to this approach, but it's a great rubric to use as a jumping off point to healthy eating that will satisfy everyone and can accommodate picky eaters too:

Like I said, this is just a jumping off point and our components usually look a lot different from that. Instead of chicken and fish, we'll usually do chicken plus one or two vegetarian options since one of our kids doesn't eat meat and we don't mind going meatless a couple nights a week if we can still make it satisfying. We incorporate beans and lentils into our system for this reason, because they round out a lot of vegetarian meals and also add some heartiness generally.

But this winds up being such an easy away to eat pretty healthfully while also incorporating elements that people really like. Using lots of sauces and dressings is great because you can have lighter and heavier options for different family members, plus we'll do homemade salsa and a green goddess that are always available and incorporate more veggies/fruits. Also, in addition to his suggestions for salads/grain bowls/entrees/tacos, we will often throw some of the components on a big tortilla with some cheese and make quesadillas for the kids (and sometimes also for us) which is an easy way to make the same components extremely kid friendly.[/quote]
