👍A note about the thumbs👍
Under each pic, I'm inserting reactions to each meal by my 4 kids in order from oldest to youngest! My husband and I are finding all these meals delicious, but since this blog is focused on transitioning my kids, this is how I'm documenting their feedback. They are transitioning from picky eaters- so take their thumbs up/down with a grain of salt!

Vegan Lasagna: Plain
Tomato sauce, whole wheat noodles, spinach and TVP

Saucy BBQ Chickpeas And Greenbeans
(Burton, Dreena, Plant-Powered Families, BenBella Books, TX, p. 159)
I thoroughly enjoyed this meal- flaovourful, yet simple. However my kids wouldn't even try it, just from looking at it! They wouldn't even touch the leftover plain lasagne from dinner yesterday that they all liked either. What the heck!? This was one of those discouraging days, where I work hard to fold laundry, put away lunches and make dinner before rushing off to evening sports and activities and they don't like dinner! Q asked where the 'real' dinner was. G said "No Thank-you." S wasn't hungry and O was too busy! They ate cereal instead.....But I do have a plan, I'm baking bean foccacia which is full of whole grain and protein. It will be hot and fresh when they get back from their evening sports! Also mint, pea & potato soup is stewing. Ha! I will get some healthy food in them before the day is done!

2/4 kids may not have liked this soup, but it is now one of my favourites! It's soooo good!
Bean Bread Foccacia

This is an old favourite I used to make when I was in University. I always come back to it! The kids have always liked it! Yes. This is a win! 16 g of protein per serving! Full of fibre and whole grains.
Baked Beans & Sweet Potatoes
Creamy Cauliflower Soup
This is one of my old time favourites!
