DS is 10 months and so far has mainly been eating Ella's kitchen pouches, toast / crumpets, yoghurts and fruit.
DH and I have decided that we need to stop feeding him ready made baby food and start cooking for him. (I was never going to feed him pre-made food before I had him, I was going to lovingly cook organic delights from scratch every day....however....busy busy, work ft etc)
I want us to all eat the same thing, however I have a hectic life and DH and I eat on the hoof a lot with too many ready meals, takeaways and meals out (and I often skip dinner as I am too knackered when I get in etc).
We don't generally eat dinner till nine by which time DS has been asleep for 2 hours. We want to start sitting down as a family about 6:30 to eat together.
So we need an overhaul of our family eating as it were, so that we can start to give DS good, home cooked food.
I am trying to come up with a list of good dinners we can plan and make but am a bit stuck for inspiration. We love food, I am a good cook, I own a slow cooker. I just need to get organised.
So far my list is:
Shepherd / Cottage pies
Spag bol
Beef Stew
Chicken and Aspargus casserole
Jacket potatoes (for lunches)
Beans on toast (occasional lunches - is this ok for a baby? Is there too much salt in baked beans?)
and then I get stuck
DS is only just getting to grips with chunkier food
Any of your top meal ideas / recipies would be greatfully recieved
