Mealtime

Anyone have any healthy "go-to" meals for a 17 month old?  Some nights we kind of fend for ourselves, I have salad, DH, might have a sandwich, but I'm always trying to think of things to feed DD besides the usual, mac and cheese, fish sticks, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, cheese sandwiches, etc.  I feed her leftovers a lot if we have something she can/will eat.  She likes some veggies and some fruits, so I try to incorporate some of those, but it's the main course or meat/protein that I sometimes struggle with. 

Share your typical meals with me, please.

TIA!!

    Quesadillas with avocado, all kinds of pasta with canellini beans for protein, frozen veg and bread(in a pinch).
  • Oh.. to have a child who would eat!!!!  

    My backup is baby food.  Seriously.  If he just won't eat AN-Y-THING, I break out the purees and start shoving it in.

    Right now the only thing he even sort of likes is cucumbers.   And bacon.

  • I buy chopped chicken breast and serve that with noodles or veggies or as a panini

  • We just give her what we're eating, but we're lucky in that she's not fussy.  She loves salad, especially with fruit in it, and if I give her something she can dip in something else she goes to town.  Grilled ham -n- cheese, cut up and dipped in tomato soup?  Yummeh!  She also likes hummus and all kinds of bread.

  • OMG.. .can I just borrow Margaux for a week?  I would LOVE to have a child that would eat a grilled cheese sandwich.  

    Charles will NOT eat anything as a combination.  I gave him a piece of cucumber tonight that had a bit of my salad dressing on it and you'da thought I was trying to poison him.   And he loves cukes.

  • Hahahaha, that's cute, though.  The thing about borrowing Margaux is then you get to borrow a kid who refuses to sleep in her own bed, ever, and gets upset if she wakes up and you aren't there.  yay.
