[quote=Anonymous]1) You need to not make different meals, but you do need to give options to your family.  You have to meal prep and make easy meals. For example, it is easy to eat greens by just wilting them in some olive oil and seasoning them with garlic and salt.

2) Eat at home.  And eat multiple courses.   A veggi heavy salad, a bone-broth based soup with lentils added, a small piece of protein (as big as your palm) with a cranberry-raisin pilaf made of quinoa or multi-grain korean rice,  fruit, yogurt or a cube of cheese.   Drink lots of lemon water.

3) Add more sauteed onions, garlic, tomatoes, basil, mushrooms to your pasta sauce.  I have found that it is easy to add frozen veggies (I like cascadia farms) to any thing I cook, because it is already cut, washed, and lightly blanched.

4) Start lunch and dinner with - a veggi salad.    Since everyone wants to eat different things, you have to make sure that everyone fills their bowl with what they want to eat.  Everyone needs to eat at least 3 veggies. At least one green and one red.   They need to pick at least one nut, one seed.  Kids can pick cheese too.  Pick at least one protein.
