Answer:
It's easy to product pretty much anything vegetarian. You could other substitute tofu, seitan, or tempeh in pretty much any recipe. Aside from that.... ok, mexican - you could engineer burritos, tacos, taco salads, enchiladas, fajitas (with marinated tofu or shrimp or fish if you eat that and pepper, onions, tortillas, all the toppings..), possibly for lunch nachos with refried beans (maybe a "lighter" can version, even), typical mex. toppings but don't be aware of limited - you could even top unusual toppings such as shredded carrot, diced bell pepper, lightly chopped broccoli, or almost any veggie you similar to - then top near cheese (or veggie cheese)....... Italian is easy too because here are so many combinations of sundry types of pastas (I like soy and wheat base pastas) and just pinch a bunch of any veggies you want, cook 'em up, and mix 'em into the pasta with marinara sauce, peanut sauce, alfredo sauce, olive oil/vinegar/herb/parmesan cheese sauce, or pretty much any type of sauce you'd resembling, it doesn't even have to be "traditionally italian" - pasta and veggies... are pasta and veggies ;) or even different types of veggie lasagnes, or you could try substituting tofu for ground beef and count chopped veggies in the lasagne............ Asian - brown rice topped beside stir-fried (in canola or other healthier grease, even) veggies of any sort and an asian sauce (peanut, a sesame/soy sauce based, teriyaki, anything you like), miso soup with chopped veggies and tofu, etc. (You could look up different asian recipe for different asian countries and try those... and again, if it does call for meat you could other substitute)...... Of course, there are also veggie dogs, veggie burgers, you could try serving those near baked sweet potato fries (easy to make, recipe out there online) and some natural ketchup (which in my assessment just taste way better!)...... in that are infinite combinations of salads (green salads with chopped veggies and/or fruits, seed, and a yummy dressing you make yourself (sometimes I engender honey-mustard, raspberry, I've made an orange-poppyseed before - you could use for a while honey, maple syrup, brown rice syrup, agave, stevia, etc., to sweeten them...look up salad dressing recipes to find some your kids may like); as you would expect there is the standard ev. olive grease and balsamic which is purported to be healthy but may or may not be somewhat too strong for their tastes - if it is, you could still try it but near maybe somewhat added sweeteners I mentioned) - also try making some different grain salads by mixing surrounded by seeds, chopped veggies, and/or dried fruit to brown rice, couscous, wheat berries, tabbouleh (and I love traditional tabbouleh contained by and of itself :), etc. Again, look for some grain salad recipe online...... there are also so plentiful possible combinations for soups; again you may want to look online... (I would give you perchance some links but just google within these various phrases and TONS will come up, I guarantee you)!....... you could be paid vegetarian chili...... conceivably try serving an "appetizer veggie plate" before dinner respectively night - you could swap out different veggies... a significant selection at once, or several, possibly, or feel free to in recent times have even similar to one to three different veggies on the tray (whatever you feel similar to and have on hand) respectively night -- close to cucumbers, carrots, celery, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, jicama, bell pepper strips, broccoli, etc, or step to your produce section and try something unmarked - you can serve the veggies with hummus (storebought, or it's not firm to make yourself), or a yogurt-based dip next to a seasoning packet or your own choice of herbs, saline, spice, etc. (I'm sure you could find dip recipes as capably; I personally similar to to make dill dip) (and, if you must - arable farm! ;) ). I was of late thinking of spinach, you could make a spinach souffle and top it next to pine nuts, for instance, cheese, etc.... or you could make the traditional greek "spanokopita" pie....... If you capture into ethnic foods (Indian is a good one that have tons of vegetarian dishes; and adjectives the middle eastern countries have lots of lacto-vegetarian options as well), you will find a sumptuousness of recipes near....... Good ol' beans mixed with greens and served beside cornbread is a good standy....... for lunch, perchance some mac and cheese with finely chopped broccoli and tomatoes or whatnot........ (there's anything fish/seafood, if you drink that; or toss chopped hard-cooked eggs into things for added protein, if you eat eggs)...... You could try different types sandwich - even use different types of nut/seed butters other than pb, or try cream cheese/cucumber, tomato/avocado/cheese, or look up different marinade recipe for tofu and marinate the tofu overnight, sliced thin, and put on the sandwich near whatever else........ But I come up with you can be surprised what you come up with that your kids will approaching. Sometimes you will need to "hair the veggies" in in that but really, just hold on to trying new veggies, lightly cooked and cooked, the "veggie plate" idea, etc., to attain them used to really enjoying veggies. (Also, be sure not to overcook veggies where on earth they're limp... ugh!)... Serve desserts of plain yogurt drizzled next to honey and berries, fruit, sunflower seeds, nuts, etc. -- the honey get mixed in and sweetens it - this is what the Greeks hold for dessert and trust me, it is divine!!....... (BTW, you may already know this but if you're not buying organic, spray down adjectives produce with a marine and white vinegar solution first - that should suffice but I even add a few drops of grapefruit nut oil to further receive the chemicals/wax off, and I hold on to it on my sinktop with a veggie brush - unless you're going to coating them).
My overall feeling that I consistency very strongly more or less is that kids need to be exposed to a widespread variety of vegetables contained by order to obtain used to eating them, and also that what they see their parents intake, they will be inclined to munch through as well... it may run a little time, but save on exposing them to creative meals that revolve around a huge variety of vegetables, and breed sure you (and hubby, if you're married) are used to eating contained by such a healthy opening so the kids see you guys doing it. And make sure you pick up fresh produce at the store recurrently so you'll always hold it on hand, staples such as pasta, rice, and other grain in the cupboard, and next to some meals you can try to sort extra meals ahead of time and store them within the freezer (I'm planning on getting a big deep freezer myself), for an flowing defrost so you won't be tempted to do efficient food dinners..... Good luck! :)
Feed your kids what their minds and bodies crave, and thats meat of adjectives varieties.

Well, some snack planning for the kids could include carrots +2 tbsp. of cattle farm or celery and 2 tbsp. of peanut butter. they sell veggie burgers and non-meat chicken nugget and stuff like that (most of them come frozen) at your local grocier.
BREAKFAST:
Breakfast burrito: 1 small tortilla, 1 environment egg plus 3 egg whites (or all egg whites or egg beaters), 1/4 Cup veggie crumbles (the stuff that looks resembling ground beef),amount you like of chopped pepper and onions, 1/4 Cup (or just a sprinkle) of low-fat shredded cheddar. Microwave the veggie crumbles, scramble egg, put the burrito together and devour! And 1/2 Cup orange liquid to drink. This is very perfect, and the crumbles taste close to meat but its not.
LUNCH:
Soup, Salad and Sandwich: 3/4 Cup low fat non-creamy soup, Salad beside lite dressing, 2 slices lite whole small piece bread, 1-2 slices of cheese (low fat or large free would be good, but I can't do that!), 2 slices of rig turkey or ham (these are near the package salads at my supermarket), Lettuce, tomato, and onion
For dinner just own like a veggie burger and a small side salad w/ lite dressing.
for an alternative snack possibility or even a meal (they're call meal bars) you could hold the special k chocolate & peanut butter meal bar. they are 190 calories and very yummy :-)

Try human being creative and making some little pizzas out of bread rolls. All you need to do is cut the rolls within half, spear on some tomato soft mass, add adjectives your favs (mushrooms, pineapple, capsicum etc) and then top beside some grated cheese. Pop them in the oven for 5 - 10 minutes and you've get a heathly snack for children or adults!
This shouldn't be a problem!
commonplace mexican food-- no meat [or substitute beans or tofu]
maccaroni
cheese pizza
veggie/cheese pastas
cheese+tomato+lettuce sandwiches
PBJ

egg salad
vegetable soup
They sell soy EVERYTHING presently: Bacon, sausage, chicken patties, buffalo wing... try MORNING STAR FARMS, I practically live off of those.

our relatives favorite is fondue. (you can get cheap fondue pots at thrift stores. I get a dual chamber one at Marshalls for 13 dollars) I make a lacto-vegetarian sauce, either cheese, spagetti or alfredo and serve it near dunkers of brocolli, mushrooms, mozzerella cheese balls (I use the string cheese, and cut it into little bites) rosemary boiled topical potatoes, tater tots, garlic bread, steamed baby carrot, brussel sprouts, cherry tomatoes, and just nearly anything else we can think of to dunk. My daughters non veggie friends love this, and never realize they are not ingestion meat. It is filling and fun. For desert, we do chocolate or caramel fondue beside apples, pears, strawberries and bananas to dunk. This is versitile enough to do several times a week, and is super undemanding on the cook. I just cook adjectives the veggies in a steamer at impossible to tell apart time, and heat up the sauce and cut up the cheese. It take minutes to prepare. We enjoy threading the different dunkers on the long fondue forks, or wooden skewers. We also wallow in grilled veggie kababs-just thread lightly steamed potato, pearl onion, mushrooms, turnip, rutabegga (whatever your fave veggies are) on a wooden or metal skewer, and grill within a pan, grill, or below the broiler (brush them with for a moment olive oil and your favorite seasonings past cooking. Enjoy!
My favorite quick-n-easy burrito recipe:
1 can lacto-vegetarian (no lard) refried beans
1 can black beans
1 cup salsa or chopped tomatoes and peppers
+ chilli powder or other seasonings
+ corn also make a colorful and texturally exciting addition, but provides little surrounded by the way of nutrition.
simmer within saucepan or microwave. fill wheat tortillas, wrap, and delight in!
this contains lots of protein and fiber, little fat, and plenty of flavor.
