Toddler Meal Ideas

Great ideas.

Some things R has for lunch or dinner:

I make quiche and put whatever veges I have in it
Poached eggs on toast
Toasted sandwiches (eg spag & cheese)
Macaroni cheese with ham or chopped up corned beef
Roast beef & veges
Most veges either boiled plain or roasted


My mind has gone blank .... can't think of what else at the moment!

Megan willl usually have a honey sandiwch and marmite sandwich and slice of cheese (from our block of cheese) and some kiwifruit...or else wil be some fish fingers and scrambled eggs that lunch

dinner she eats whatever we eat

Frittata is a new hit here, I just beat a few eggs, puts some peas carrots and corn in and boil some spud and add chunks of that too with some cheese, garlic and herbs.

Pasta bake of any kind will always get eaten.

Thats a pain Tui89 - we just went through a phase where any meat except luncheon was poison He also decided he wasn't going to eat any veges except potato, no fruit at all and plastic cheese constantly especially after he discovered how to climb up the fridge shelves to reach it!!
A fridge lock and only getting what mummy chose for each meal soon dealt with that though. I'd give him whatever we were having for breakfast and if he didn't want it then it sat there til morning tea when I'd throw it out and put out whatever snack I decided on and so on til bedtime. The food was always available and there was always a little bit of something he'd eat (like a slice of luncheon) along with apple slices, crackers, etc. With dinner, like I said in my earlier post, he gets a mouthful on his plate of everything and once thats all gone he can choose what seconds he wants out of that.
Had him eating properly within a fortnight

I think I might have to write some of these ideas down

My daughter is a fussy eater as opposed to her younger sister who will eat anything and I'm always running out of ideas of what to feed her.

At lunchtime she will usually have

scrambled eggs on toast

cocktail sausages

banana or some other fruit

rice crackers and raisins

toasted sandwhiches

yoghurt

Dinner is always a diificult time but she loves chicken and pasta and stirfry and chicken noodle soup which has been a life saver many times when she is being fussy! Hopefully with a few more ideas to try that won't be a problem anymore
