Thank you for all of suggestions.

16:51. I've looked at the sweet potato chip but wrote them off when I read the ingredients and the first one was corn. I never noticed the 2 grams of protein

He just started getting in brown rice.  Though he will only eat one peice at a time,  it's a start.

We also haven't tried baking turkey/pork/chicken cutlets.  I never thought to do that because I don't like the taste but maybe he will.

Ill also try making the meatballs.  For some reason it seemed like a difficult task. I'm lousy cook. I should at least.

I've looked into cookbooks so far all I can find are recipes that emphasis veggies. Pasta and melted cheese.  I've tried a couple of homemade chicken nuggets but the texture has not been consistent enough for him,

I tried the kashi protein waffles about a year ago and he didn't like them.  But I should try them again.

By the way he is 3 1/2.  He started eating more than just crackers an cereal at about 2.  We we were able to move to hot dogs and sauge at about 2 1/2.  All of the other food groups I've found creative ways to compensate and his he will now eat food that feels wet that means fresh fruit and cooked veggie!! He now just start to try sandwhiches.  But when is comes to protein,  he won't budge.  I do realize that this process is going to take many, many years.  I just get concerned about training his pallet to like these highly processed foods.  I'm keenly aware that as we approach 5 he will be less maluble. Right not now he really wants to be like mommy and daddy and depreataly what to eat what we are eating.  He'll ask to try stuff all the time and never like it.

I guess we will be eating more baked skinnless meat these next few week :).

Thanks again for all of the suggestions
