Topic: Dinners both baby and parents can have Posted: 02 October 2011 at 8:42pm |
I am finding it a lot easier to be able to cook things both baby and we can have for dinner, saves time and money too. He is eating things that are of a mashed texture and has finger foods too, but I try to give him a softer dinner as well as some finger food, otherwise a lot of his food ends up thrown lol so he might have a soft dinner then some pieces of pasta or veges, pieces of fruit etc.
So far I have made sheperds pie, bologneise and chilli con carne (not spicy) and he has enjoyed all of those.
Does anyone have dinners they often do for baby/toddler and themselves?
I realise I could give him whatever we have but at times we have things I wouldn't want him to eat yet eg spicy or a bit rich etc.
He is dairy intolerant but I can leave cheese out/use soy milk
Thanks!

I only make stuff that Alex can handle..
Pumpkin and brown rice flan (both boys love this)
Quiche (really good if you have nice chunky bits of vege in there and I make it without cheese)
Teriaki stir fry
Roast vege cous cous
Mac n cheese
Pasta bake (spirals are easier for bubbas lacking teeth than penne)
Burgers (he rips them apart but attacks the individual things inside it)
Pizza and home made chips
Fish and home made chips
Chickpea casserole
Frittatas
Toasties (my lazy can't be bothered meal)
Breakfast dinner - hash browns, spaghetti, egg, sausages
That's some of what we eat..

Risotto
Homemade fishcakes
Thick veg soups
Slow cooked meat casseroles with mash - I either shred the meat for baby or stick the whole lot in the magic bullet

Yup that's the recipe I base it off. I don't do mushrooms so the eggy/vege part I change everytime depending on what we have in the fridge

Shepards Pie is a good one in our house - I use the recipe in the Edmonds book.
