We have a huge issue with repetitive eating and not getting enough fruits/veggies in. My kids are like me and could eat the same thing for every meal and not get bored, but this leads to us eating a rotation of the same, say, 3 meals for lunches every.single.week.

I really want to work on getting more fresh fruits and veggies into our diet but I feel so entrenched in my groove that I don't really know how to go about this.
Here is a sample of a daily food diary.

Breakfast:
2 eggs, scrambled
1 piece of ww toast with "butter" and preserves

Snack:
String cheese

Lunch:
Cheese Quesadillas
Beans and sauce

Snack:
Yogurt

Dinner:
Chili
Grilled cheese

I know I can add in some fresh fruit like bananas, apples, oranges at meals, but how do I get in more veggies in a day?
