[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help. We have fallen into a rut of eating a ton of red meat because my picky tween likes it. I need some chicken, fish and vegetarian options! He seems to like the plainness of meat (steak) but also savory dishes (meatloaf and bolognese). I’m not that worried about his health - it’s more for me because I don’t want to have red meat 5x/week!

He rejects a lot of the conventional kid ideas (eg quesadilla).

I’m a pretty good cook and willing to invest time, but something like a veggie lasagna is probably not realistic for weeknights unless you have some kind of magic easy recipe …[/quote]

I should add, his pickiness is super frustrating because I’ll make something I know tastes good (like chicken drumsticks) and he rejects it. So I wonder if there are texture issues with things like chicken skin? He was the typical toddler that ate everything, what happened!!![/quote]

I hate chicken drumsticks personally, specifically due to the texture. Also prefer chicken breast texture and flavor to thigh meat. And no, don't like chicken skin unless really crispy and then in small doses like buffalo wings. I know that's odd to some folks.

Can you not make some of the same things but with ground turkey, chicken, etc? Meatloaf, burgers, meat sauce, etc?[/quote]
