Tim is a vegetarian, so when my dh is gone, I'm the only one who eats meat.
I usually cook an entire package of chicken or steak and put anything I
don't use today in the the fridge for future meals. It probably wouldn't be
very hard to cook an extra piece of meat every day, chop it up and put it in
the fridge for the next days snacks. Also, if you take the 2 minutes to cut
up the meat, it cooks in a fry pan in about 3 minutes. Or buy a bag of
chicken nuggets and microwave a couple when you need them. That's fast.

Jayn loves Endame beans. We buy the fresh but cooked, still in the pods,
so have the added fun of popping them open. Not for soy-allergic of

"She did eat one peanut butter sandwich this week (a first!)."
I have to say, I don't blame her for not eating those! :) I go through phases where I can't stand peanut butter.
Why don't you check at a health food store for some almond butter? It has less sugars than peanut butter, and it tastes a LOT better (my opinion of course).
Another protein source my kids love, is tofu. There are a million ways to fix it, but an easy quick one is to drain it an towel dry it really well (extra firm block), slice it and fry in olive oil with either soy sauce or some Spike seasoning for taste.
We also blend it into smoothies with Orange juice concentrate, frozen fruit and soy milk. YUM!

My kids actually don't care for the blocks of tofu, but love dip made with
silken tofu. I usually sprinkle a little salt into a carton of tofu, stir
it in well and put it in a coffee filter for about half an hour to let some
of the liquid drain off. Then add some salsa and spicy black bean dip and
mix with a hand blender. Serve with tortilla chips. It's really good.
I've also heard of making a peanut butter/tofu dip, but haven't tried it
yet. I sometimes put tofu in smoothies on the sly, and have also added it
to banana muffins. It makes them really moist and delicious! Another good
protein-rich recipe we make regularly is natural peanut butter, soy sauce
and a little water. Wisk it up and serve over pasta. Tastes a lot like
sesame noodles.

Spew alert, if I could get it off the roof of my mouth!!! My 9yo
daughter asked me to buy Fluff just this week - for the first time in
years. I was eating a spoon of Fluff and PB, just as I read your post!
Yes, it was delicious, simply on a spoon. I highly recommend it :-)

By Fluff do you mean marshmallow cream? We make fluffernutters sometimes.
Peanut butter and marshmallow cream sandwiches. I don't care for them, but
my hard-to-feed son does. They're good toasted, too.

BBQ Pork is very sweet also. If you like meat that almost tastes like candy,
Honey Turkey Jerky is very sweet. Places like www.MahoganySmokedMeats.com
have a great mail order catalogue. The difference between jerkey from a
specialty company and jerky from the supermarket is phenomenal. One of the
things that dh and I love about our road trips is stopping at the different
little jerky places we pass along the highways. Jayn really likes various
jerkies also - especially when we are traveling in the car.

I thought of this this morning, and if she doesn't like nut butters, she may not like it...
I have this recipe, I'm making them today, for Cowboy Cookies. My kids eat them up!
They have peanut butter(you can use any nut butter if she likes one a little more than the other), oatmeal, dried fruit, coconut, and chocolate chips. And you make them BIG, use a 2oz ice cream scoop. They are a meal in a cookie.
If you(or anyone) wants the recipe, I'd be happy to pass it along :)

Would she like Nutella? Hazelnut and chocolate, two of my faves!
I don't know how much protein is in it, though.
