[quote=Anonymous]We make lots of sheet pans meals. Usually they include a carb but DH and I skip it or eat a small amount of it. My kids’ favorites are:

sheet pan chicken, pepper and onion fajitas

sheet pan chicken sausage, peppers, inions and baby potatoes

sheet pan shrimp with broccoli tossed in pesto (could sub chicken for shrimp of your kids won’t eat that)

We also love bowls as a PP said - often the options include leftover chicken or ground beef, black beans, rice, avocado, corn, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, crushed tortilla chips. I’ll often make mine as a salad.

Speaking of salads, my kids like salads when lettuce is not the base and they choose what goes in theirs. Like the bowl idea. I often include cut up fruits, cubed cheeses and hard bouled eggs as salad options.

Last, my kids are more willing to eat vegetables in soup form. We make a lot of soups. Favorites are chicken tortilla soup, and lemon chicken orzo (I keep the orzo in a separate bowl and add to the kids’ soup, not mine.) They love bread and crackers (or grilled cheese squares) with their soup, DH and I will have salad with ours. [/quote]
