I'm afraid I'm late you must have already cooked her dinner for her!.!.!.!.but I'll add some ideas for next time:
Think color and texture!.!.!.!.
For example you mentioned you had a baked potato!.!.!.that was starch and white!.!.!.so you need some color added to jazz it up and make the whole meal healthy!.!.!.!.
How about marinated tomatoes, with cucumbers and onions
Wash, seed, and cut into cubes the tomatoes
wash, peel, remove seeds and slice the cucumbers
get a red onion if possible and cut into thin slices place in ice water with dash of salt!.!.!.and keep cold!.!.!.drain and add to other ingredients!.!.!.!.when ready to serve
Dressing!.!.!.1 part red wine vinegar, 2 parts canola or olive oil (for example 1/4 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup oil)
To this add a few grains of sugar, salt and pepper!.!.!.and 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
Chill bowl of salad ingredients with the dressing mixed in until ready to serve!.!.!.!.
Fresh spinach, washed and torn into bite sized pieces
Hard boiled egg sliced (if she eats them)
thin sliced sweet onion
Croutons (Toasted bread cubes)
Fresh button mushrooms wiped clean and sliced
Soy nuts ( they are found in bags in the chip section or produce area)!.!.!.
Dressing of your choice
I like blue cheese dressing or ranch with this one or an oil and vinegar
Good luck she is very lucky to have YOU !.!.!.!.
