Meal ideas

My DS has started totally rejecting purees. He pushes the spoon away when I try to feed it to him.

He just started having table food at daycare. They have a weekly menu so he'll be trying lots of things there.

I need some ideas for meals on days he's home. Dinner is normally just what we're having but I'll take suggestions for that as well.

Breakfast:
Cereal mixed with apples
Waffle and cut up banana
Eggs

Lunch:
Turkey
Cheese
Ravioli he had this at daycare and loved it
Mixed vegetables

Dinner:
Spinach Lasagna
Chicken
Rice and vegetables
Pastina

These are some things he's had. Any suggestions? What is everyone feeding their LO nowadays?

    I feed DD just about everything we are having. Just caught up small. She's been off of purees since about 9 months. The only thing she hasn't had is steak, honey, and hotdogs. Maybe few other things that I can't think of right now too. But I pretty much give her everything we eat. Good luck! Its so much easier when you can make 1 meal for everyone.

    Breakfast- same as what you have listed. Dry cereal with fruit. Waffles. Eggs and sausage. Toast and yogurt. Pancakes.

    Lunch- any kind of pasta. Grilled cheese and Soup. Sandwiches- turkey, ham, tuna, etc.

    Dinner- meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Chicken and rice. Spaghetti. Tacos(soft shell). Quesadillas. Ham.

    Today Jack had a turkey and cheese sandwich, whole wheat goldfish crackers, and a strawberry/apple/beet/Greek yogurt pur?e. We just recently started the table food, so he is still getting used to it. He loves Cheerios, but when I gave him sliced bananas, he gagged and spit them out. I think they are just too slimy because he loves pur?ed bananas. He's not a big fan of scrambled eggs. He's also had homemade macaroni and cheese, pieces of baked potato, green bean pieces, homemade baked pancakes with a little bit of maple syrup (Pinterest recipe). Tonight, I'm going to roast a whole chicken and give him little pieces of that, plus sweet potato puffs, and some baby carrots. He also eats Noosa yogurt as a dessert. The little piggy will try to eat an entire container! His favorite is mango and strawberry rhubarb. Pinterest has some great ideas for toddler meals!

    My daughter has not eaten purees for a while.  She pretty much eats what we eat.  For breakfast she eats most any kind of fruit cut up small.  Also, sometimes a yogurt.  Lunch and dinner are regular food.  Some things she loves are:

    pasta

    potatoes

    black or Northern white beans

    green beans

    ham or turkey and cheese

    Also, I usually microwave some frozen veggies for her to eat throughout the week- carrots, peas, etc.

    I hear of folks feeding their toddlers sandwiches around this age, but I don't quite get how. They're not really biting into a sandwich, right? Or do they? We haven't tried this yet, but DS does love wheat bread and cheese. Also, what brand of sandwich meat do you give them?

    Our daycare teacher told me they make a sandwich and smush it flat. Then they cut it up into small pieces. I haven't tried this at home though.

    Thanks for the ideas ladies!

    Thats similar to what I do. I tear it into tiny pieces and smush it a little before giving it to him. I put it on a baguette today, which I probably won't do again; too crusty. Whole wheat bread or flatbread are good ideas.

    We actually gave dd a pb & j two weeks ago.  We just gave her the sandwich cut in half.  (So it was 1/4 of a regular sandwich as we used 1 piece of bread folded over).  She ate it as is no smushing necessary.  If I remember ill post a pic later.
