Need some new dinner ideas for DS....

hwsgigles8 · January 2013

My DS is 17 months old and is a pretty good eater. He loves mac & cheese, pasta, chicken finger, pb & j, grilled cheese and a few other main meals, LOVES fruit, and some veggies. But I feel like it's the same meals over and over again...I don't want him to get sick of those foods. What else are you feeding your LO for meals?

Oh yeah, we also tried fish sticks, but he hasn't taken to those yet.

We do quesadillas a lot. She loves pesto meatballs, stuffing with chicken, french onion soup, black bean soup, tacos.

She's always eaten what we've eaten. Her favorite is stir-fry.

You could do omelets/scrambled eggs--DD loves that. Also she really likes bean burritos--specifically a a whole tortilla with refried beans lightly spread over one half, topped with cheese, then the other half of the tortilla flipped over like a quesadilla and then microwaved for about 45seconds. I just tear it up into a few pieces after it's cooled down...very healthy!

Do you have a recipe for your pesto meatballs? Or do you buy a pre-made sauce?

This is the one we use. I got it from the Weelicious cookbook--my favorite go to cookbook for recipes lately.

DD just eats what we eat. I have no desire to prepare a separate meal (or worse, set the expectation that she gets something different that everyone else), so she eats soups, stir-frys, ravioli, baked fish, tacos, omelets...whatever's on the menu.

Ds eats whatever i give him i. Addition to the things you mentioned he loves pork tenderloin in the crock pot with just BBQ sauce. I mean loves it. He also like sword fish, rolled up lunch meat with cheese in it then sliced in to pieces.

We feed DS the same as we are having be it spicy or not sometimes I make his dish before adding the rest of the spice so he gets something a little milder but otherwise he loves whatever we are having .

His favorite right now is anything rice based

Thanks for the replies....I always try to give him part of what we are eating first. He eats some of the same meals as us, but not every night. It would be nice to just do one meal each night! Maybe he will start eating meat soon
