 Topic: Transition to table foods

Daniel is doing great on solids. He's fab with finger foods and will eat sammies, fruit and most things we give him - he only turns his nose up at a couple of things.
So I tried him on some junior jarred food (meant for 1 year +) which had foods in it that he had all had before. It had pasta that wasn't cut up plus lots of bigger chunks than in other baby foods and he dealt with it fine so I'm thinking he can start to have some of the things that we have for dinner.
Whats some good easy bubba friendly meals we can try? Obviously pasta dishes but what else?

i honestly cant remember, i think we put Izobel onto pretty much anything, just cut up very finely though, and lots of finger foods, fish fingers, chicken nuggest, there are those chicken chip (the crumbed type) that Izobel had for ages, and veges etc.
I found Izobel hated the 1-3yr toddler foods, and i tried the spag bol one, and it was so bland and blah i realised that she probably wanted something with more taste

Daniel looooooved the pasta one, it was an only organic one which is probably why. Their food seems to have more taste or at least a far better taste than the watties ones

I have also made casseroles with meal and lots of vegetables in them (carrots, kumara, pumpkin, sometimes mixed veges)
Also vege bakes. Tuna pasta bake.

I've never made a casserole in my life lol.. I'm a vege, DH is a meat eater and it seems Daniel is too. Everything we make must cater for both of us which is a pain sometimes.

The gremlins love those Sizzler sausages coz they are skinless and easy to chew on. They eat most plain steamed/boiled veg (broccoli, carrot, potato, kumara etc) cut into bite size pieces. Oh and mince done with either Dolmio sauce or as savoury mince with gravy, mixed veg etc. in it. And they love chewing on corn on the cob, and chop bones.
Funnily enough they won't eat pasta unless I spoon feed it to them. They like the Toddler meals in a can, but Maya would never eat them.

Just try him on little bits of what you're eating for dinner. Kryssi eats completely what we have for dinner now. I've found that kids like chicken and fish before the "denser" meats like beef etc. Mince should be ok but my older girls have never liked it - texture maybe? Everyone else's kid seems to like mince! Soft pasta is great cause they can pick it up in their fingers, so mac cheese is good. We had homemade pizza the other day for lunch and Kryssi ate it all except the crust (of course lol). Bacon is really easy and my girls love sausages. Try any kind of vege although texture and the colour green seem to impact early on

We have just started introducing Tom to the flavours we eat. I made a casserole and took out his lot before seasoning ours, then blended it to the appropriate texture for his age. It went down well! Then DH made spag bol and blended some of that up for him, again no problems. So we are slowly doing that in hope that by the time he is old enough he will just be able to have what we are having.

We used to do that Nikki, everything we had went thru the blender for the gremlins.
