I am working on my super fun shopping list.

I enjoy many of the foods listed for phase 1. What is difficult to me is eating veggies at EVERY meal. So, if you have any suggestions on how to incorporate this, especially for a picky veggie eater AT breakfast -- please make a suggestion, I certainly would appreciate it!
