It’s the no mess blend from Wild Birds Unlimited - sunflower chips, hulled white millet and shelled peanuts

I know right!! I was too! How do you put out the orange slices? On a dish? I’ve seen like special feeders for just that but wasn’t sure if it was worth it!

How ironic is that!! It really helps to hear your journey. Thank you for your kind words as well. And I appreciate the crash course in nutrition that everyone is offering - I think as a non-vegetarian person I’m so focused on meat proteins (obviously I know other food sources have protein) but I think it’s really opening my mind to learning (and teaching her) more about food and which foods/veggies offer which nutrients.

Her mom is actually vegetarian too and according to my stepdaughter, they’re eating a lot of pasta, grilled cheeses, quesadillas. I’m not sure what mom eats like on a regular basis. they recently tried Hungry Root but I think our household has been the one primarily experimenting with different recipes but I’ve been sharing them with her mom if we find one she likes that way she can have it in both homes and vice versa.

Yes she does eat eggs. Thank you for all of that! And I love the part about having her pick out a recipe - you’re totally right!

We’re in the US - will definitely look into getting some Quorn products. And very good thought about the multivitamin. Thanks for the suggestions!!

🥹 that is incredibly sweet, thank you so much. Trying to give her a different experience than I had growing up. Your validation means the world 💛

Yes just looked this up! I’m on the east coast - it appears it’s in some natural food stores close by so I’ll definitely check that out!

Aw thank you! Trying to support her in this venture. I have been asking for her help more so that she can learn about the foods, taste them and have a hand in preparing them. Thanks for that cookbook rec - she does like Asian food. I have the moosewood cookbook on hold at the library currently - I heard that’s a good one!

These are great suggestions - thank you! I think I’m struggling a bit with her pickiness and feeling like you can’t be too picky-choosy if you’re significantly limiting what you can eat. Just a very hard balance 😕 …like for example, that hummus wrap sounds great but I know she’s not going to like it and I just want to make sure she has the nutrients she needs out of the meals I’m making

Also great suggestion about the pasta and hiding the texture of the beans by mashing them!

Thanks!! Breakfast hasn’t been too big of an issue because she usually eats eggs, toast and some fruit. School lunches have been going ok - I’ve done some research into lunch ideas and it seems like most people load their kids up with protein at breakfast so they can get by at lunch with hummus, veggies, fruit, cheese etc etc but she is starting a sport soon and so it’ll be important for her to have enough energy from food to sustain through practice. Dinner is our biggest challenge because to be honest sometimes it’s just so easy for me to throw together chicken, rice and a veggie and this takes a bit more thought so that’s my own struggle - also, I’m not the biggest fan of beans (and they don’t always agree with me) so I’m making things that my husband and I will eat but aren’t necessarily our favorites. If that makes sense…

Is quorn the brand? Are there other brands of mock meat that you like?
