Table food for almost 9-month old

Ladies - was hoping you could give me some ideas as to what I can give Brenna....during the week, I only give her dinner and it has to be quick b/c she is often in meltdown mode.   Weekedns I have more time to experiment with her.   She'll basically eat anything you put on her tray. 

So far, I've given her toast, grilled cheese, broccoli, bread, apple sauce, canned peaches, yogurt.....but other than that, I'm still giving her jarred meals....and the variety is very limiting.  

What are some sample meals you give LO?

    Logan is eating anything we are eating at this point. Last night I made one of DH's childhood favorites...green bean casserole. It's not the traditional green bean casserole. It has hamburger in it and biscuits on top. He really liked it. I will say though, he hasn't disliked anything yet. :) He had his first grilled cheese last week and loved it. He really likes chicken. I boiled some chicken tenders the other night for him. Green beans, peas, carrots, mashed potatoes, lasagna, mac & cheese. He loves it all!

    I understand about meltdown mode. I normally give him some puffs to tied him over while I'm making dinner. It normally works.

    Ellie loves pasta with tomato sauce.  I keep cubes of frozen sauce so all I have to do is cook some pasta and defrost some sauce.  Rice is usually good, as are most veg - she loves asparagus, but I do have to cut it in half or she finds the skin too thick.  Chicken of any kind - I often buy chicken strips and freeze in bags of 2 strips so I can pull out in the morning if we're having something not too kid friendly, and they cook up in less than 15 minutes.  Ellie likes bbq sauce, salt and pepper, curry, or whatever.  She also really likes ground chicken - so I do the same thing, keep some preseasoned, "burgers" in the freezer for easy dinners.  She loved beef stew a few weekends back.  Since she can't have real yogurt yet, I've been giving her some of my soygurt (even though it has a small amount of cow's milk) and she loves that.  Oh, cut up grapes and pears.  I know she's getting chicken nuggets and such as daycare, so I've been trying to avoid at home, but was thinking I might try fish sticks.

    Fish sticks are a winner at our house. I made a roast in the crockpot a few weeks ago. Loved it! Like I said, he isn't picky. :)

    OMG.. you girls are SO lucky to have a baby that will eat anything!!!  Maybe it's just a phase, but C is very hot and cold about table food right now.

    Last night's dinner was raisins and black olives.  I managed to get him to eat a little pureed peas, but nothing else was going down, except onto the floor!   Today's lunch was the same, only he would only eat bread and a couple of goldfish.

    That being said.. at 9 months I think he was still pretty dedicated to the purees.  Heck, he still likes that better than most things.   But I second cut-up grapes, puffs, pastas---he really likes the Classic Suddenly Salad stuff.. very savory.    I'll also admit, I have a stash of McD's unsalted french fries in the freezer just in case of emergency.  Maybe I'll try them tonight.

    I keep those little fruit cups with the plastic peel off "lids". I dump them into tea strainer (fits perfectly) and run it under water to get the juice off, then dump them back into the cup. Maddie loves them. She esp. loves the mandarin oranges and I like that I don't have to worry about her choking on the membrane of the sections. This will usually tide her over until dinner is ready.

    At that age, one thing she really loved was fish -- albacore tuna plain from the can, salmon stix and fresh grilled/sauteed/poached fish.  She also LOVED baked beans.

    LOL!  Beans, sweet potatoes and corn are all tied for creating the worst poopy diapers.  And my kid loves them all.

    Back then I'd fix things with broccoli, avocado, peas or carrots so he could feed himself. Pasta with sauce left off and finely diced chicken is also good.
