My daughter likes pasta salad. I use corn and quinoa pasta, cooked dried
beans and assorted fresh vegetables with Italian dressing. You can add
cubed ham or slices of hard/dry salami to this.

She also likes Teff wraps. Soften the wrap for about 10 seconds in the
microwave, then spread with dairy free margarine or mustard, a sprinkle of
shredded lettuce and some cooked meat. Roll up like a burrito. The Teff
wraps are put out by La Tortilla Factory. Available with the tortillas and
in some stores in the gluten free area.

We buy little hummus cups at Costco. She eats those with cucumber slices or
baby carrots.

Hard boiled eggs.

Salad topped with cooked chicken and sesame dressing.

A big pot of chili, with or without beans.

You could cook a very large or a couple of regular sized pot roasts at once,
adding whatever veggies you eat.
