My dd (8) has decided to go vegetarian and I'm unused to cooking veggie meals.
I'm struggling a bit to be honest.
I'm totally ok with her choice to be a vegetarian but insisted that she needs to be healthy with her food choices. I can foresee a situation where she will limit her choices to sandwich or pasta with grated cheese, and while they're fine for once in a while they aren't going to fulfill her nutritional needs on a daily basis.
She won't eat eggs (although has no problem putting them in her baking)
She doesn't really like potato but accepts that she will need to have it sometimes.
She's made good steps toward eating salad -iceberg lettuce, raw pepper, cucumber and tomato. She'll also eat couscous, rice and pasta. She likes houmous.
She will eat vegetables, esp the child friendly ones such as broccoli, peas, carrots, but refused sweet potato and can even detect it if there is a bit in a soup.
She says she doesn't like soup but I will keep pushing small dishes of soup as a starter I think.
Ideally I like the whole family (me, Dp and Ds(2) to eat the same meal, but I don't mind tweaking a bit to satisfy everyone.
Any ideas please? I would be pathetically grateful -I feel like I'm trying to reinvent the wheel each time I look in the fridge!
Thankyou
