[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore all the “make her find her own recipes” and “why let this happen” posters.  Geez, I hate cooking, but I would not stop my kid from wanting to be healthy.

I suggest trying different types of vegetarian chili.  A lot of them are easy to make, and they can be frozen in individual portions for when you need something for other nights.

We often do pasta with a meat on the side.  We do not even have vegetarians in our household, just different preferences for pasta/ meat ratio

Stir-fry can be pretty kid friendly.  You could just cook the meat separately.

My son will eat yellow Goya rice and black beans (I add cumin, onion, and garlic).  It’s the side I use when I know he might not like the main dish. Very easy and hearty enough to work as a main dish.

Look at the post for a mezzo menu.  That would work well, as a lot of those items are or can be vegetarian.

You might also want to start looking at protein content of breads, pastas, even snacks. They can range by a lot, so buying a higher protein content version will help ensure your kid gets enough protein. [/quote]

Just FYI the yellow rice has chicken in it - I don't know if you or your son care about that! [/quote]
