Hi my daughter has gone veggie (her choice) thing is she doesnt like qourn, most vegetables - well potatoes, onions mushrooms peppers courgettes she only likes peas sweetcorn and carrots - she used to like spicy bean burgers but also now refuses to eat them as she does lentil curry as well - Anyone got any good ideas? oh she doesnt like pastry either - needless to say she doesnt like much! which is a nightmare - I have taken her to docs and awaiting a referral to the dietician but in the meantime does anyone have any ideas on getting her to eat something other than porridge, plain pasta with above named veggies and same with rice and curry powder for a change, and pizza with a plain tomatoe base - I forgot to mention she doesnt like sauces and especially melted cheese of any sort!

Has she tried tofu?

Noodles with stir fried vege - if she likes peas and carrots she might also like sugar snaps or mange tout?

Omelette?

Cowboy hotpot - onions, carrots, peas and sweetcorn with baked beans as a sauce. Mix in some smoked cheese, or barbecue sauce if you can't find a veggie smoked cheese, and then potato slices on top and cook in the oven until the potatoes are browned.

Corn fritters - sweetcorn in a pancake batter, about the size of scotch pancakes. Serve with salad if she'll have it or a baked potato.

Veggie burgers - I make them with one of those single serving boxes of stuffing and red lentils boiled in stock, mixed together and shallow fried.

3 bean chilli - normal chilli sauce, with baked beans, kidney beans and chickpeas. TBH I normally make it without the chickpeas as I'm not too keen on the texture.

Mini Chilli Pizzas - small soft bread rolls, toasted. Add a layer of refried beans, salsa possibly homemade if she'll have it, and grated cheese.

Veg Stew - we had this tonight. Just one of those casserole packs from the supermarket mixed with a tin of tomatoes and a made up packet soup Blush as had ran out of stock. Just stuck it in the slow cooker for the day.

HTH - my OH has been a vegetarian since I've known him, but he's not fussy at all and will gladly eat any amount of Quorn. My DS, 8, just decided to become one last month but doesn't eat any bloody veg except carrots. he's a pain in the arse at the mo!!
