needing some new table food ideas

nkl08

Needing some new ideas as I feel like we rotate between several things. What are your LO's eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

WE are pretty boring here too. B & L tend to be very similar from day to day.  B is fruits (I try to do seasonal fruits) - lately it is pears, grapes, and cantaloupe.  Earlier in the summer it was lots of peaches, and plums too.

For lunch, I usually make him grilled cheese. That's the only way he'll eat cheese - he doesn't eat them as-is, only when melted.  Some cold cuts, and more fruits.  Sometimes plain yogurt.

Dinner is the only meal that varies a lot.  We give him whatever I'm cooking that night, and I don't tend to cook the same meal more than 2x/month.

DS won't eat eggs; otherwise I would be more than happy to make him scrambled eggs or omelette for lunch.

Breakfast- eggs, pancakes, fruit, toast, cereal
Lunch- veggie and meat (usually leftovers from the previous night's dinner)
Dinner- mainly whatever we're eating, unless he is allergic (he has multiple food allergies).

Breakfast: cheerios, eggs, english muffin with jam, toast with peanut butter, any fruit, cinnamon toast, yogurt, applesauce, oatmeal

Lunch: sandwiches, soup (I usually just strain the chunks out and give her that), chicken/cheese quesadillas, grilled cheese, pancakes, homemade waffles, french toast, any fruits/veggies, crackers

Dinner: Baked ziti, baked spaghetti, baked chicken with mashed or baked potatoes (she really likes sweet potatoes), pork chops, beef stroganoff, tacos (just not hard shells), mini chicken pot pies, pot roast, any fruits/veggies

I give her fruit a lot because she loves it and I don't mind her filling up on that if she chooses to do so.  Her favs are strawberries, bananas, raspberries, blueberries, oranges, and pineapple.  She'll also do pears, peaches, apples, and grapes, but tends to reach for the others first if she has both on her tray!

We recently tried french toast for breakfast, and it was a big hit. It's sticky, but yummy!

Breakfast: 1 egg scrambled with a bit of coconut oil, 1/2 slice of whole wheat bread, cut into little bits OR Whole wheat pancake or waffle cut up into bits with some diced fruits (kiwi, banana, orange slices etc.) OR Oatmeal (or some other type of porridge) with fruits

Lunch: Organic ground turkey in tomato sauce with plain couscous OR Chicken breast or Turkey breast, diced into small pieces with soft boiled carrots and broccoli OR Caribbean style soup with diced pieces of potato, pumpkin, chicken or beef OR Chicken breast diced into small pieces, veggie pasta shells tossed with a bit of parmesan cheese and peas/carrots

Dinner: Same as above OR Homemade brown rice cereal blended with vegetables (carrots, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach etc.) as baby girl enjoys cereals first thing in the morning and for supper.

SNACKS: Diced peaches or pears (lightly simmered to soften them up a bit), Kiwi, Banana, Orange slices (or any other kind of fruit on hand), Organic "puffs", Cheerios, Baby Yogurt or Yogurt melts (depending on if she's in the mood to be fed or wants to self feed)

Back then we didn't really have specific foods for specific times of day (he could eat breakfast for lunch or dinner, etc) but we did a lot of this:

Yogurt, almond butter sandwiches, string cheese, cut up fruit, french toast, scrambled eggs, cheerios, applesauce, all kinds of soups, beans, rice, and we did baby food until he was a year. Even to this day, at 17 months, he still has the veggie baby food jars since it's the best way I can get him to eat veggies. Every other way, he usually refuses.

Breakfast: oatmeal, cream of wheat, eggs, waffles, pancakes, fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, cereal

lunch: almost always leftovers from dinner, otherwise it's soup, chunks of cheese, pasta with veggies

dinner: he eats everything we eat, except for salad. Last night I made beef daube provencal with noodles, sweet potatoes and peas. He loved it. If he's getting too antsy and can't wait for our dinner to be ready, I'll feed him a jar of baby food or some veggies that I have frozen. Then he eats with us as his second dinner.
