[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We make something we call the many-berry salad — spring mix (or could be spinach and/or arugula), balsamic vinaigrette (with garlic & mustard), (candied) pecans or walnuts, goat cheese (plain or herbed), and whatever mix of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries we have on hand.

Fruit and salads/greens are easy ways to get the tomato/cheese/carb loving vegetarian to branch out (BTDT).
Roasted veggies (broccoli, carrots, green beans, cauliflower, cherry or grape tomatoes, kale, onions, fennel) also worked well. And all of these are quick/easy/integrate well as part of more omnivorous meals.[/quote]

These are great ideas. I also like the baked potato with fixins option - I made a lot of veggies in cheese sauce, but you can make them without the cheese, can add some meat for those who partake, etc. Swap out sweet potatoes for the regular baking potatoes for a healthier option.

Last night I made buffalo cauliflower and it was easy and delicious. Not usually a main dish but it was satisfying enough that two of us - me and my meat eating husband - had it for our whole meal, with some cut up peppers and celery on the side.

Veggies and hummus is the easiest possible meal you could have[/b] - you can make your own hummus and pita if you're feeling ambitious.

I really like this homemade veggie burger recipe: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/best-black-bean-burgers/

I think I might have gotten it from someone on DCUM, actually.[/quote]

Veggies and hummus is a wonderful snack. I'm vegetarian and I would never just serve guests or my family a plate of veggies and a scoop of hummus and call it a meal.

OP I applaud you supporting your daughter. The worst thing that could happen is she  discovers some new veggie recipes.

Soups and dals are great in fall and winter.

This red lentil soup is really good and I add a splash of apple cider and my kids love it. I serve it with some toasted naan and a side of fruit or some cheese.

I'll make a vegetable minestrone soup and use chickpea or lentil pasta instead of regular pasta. I serve it with homemade focaccia.

These zucchini meatballs are great with spaghetti or in a meatball sub.
