I have found the river cottage baby and toddler cook book really useful but have also used a few recipes on this blog:

crumbsfeedyourfamily.blogspot.co.uk/?m=0

(If you have the time I suggest you go back hundreds of pages and start with their first blog post when their children were younger - the recipes will probably be more useful than the later ones). Broccoli pasta and 60 second eggy noodles are 2 of our family favourites.

This blog always gave me ideas too but i have to admit i never used any of the recipes:

this one I saw recommended on here and has some good ideas too but not really my kind of thing!:

Even if you don't/didn't do BLW, the baby led weaning cookbook is really good for recipes. We still use it a couple of years on.

Annabel Karmel's Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner
Ella's Kitchen - the cook book - the red one

The latter is really good, with lots of simple tasty meals and ideas for lunches as well as dinners.

The red Ella's book is better than I thought it would be. It has helped me get out of a rut and even made sandwiches and snacks more interesting.

I mostly use the bbc food website for ideas and just adapt the salt levels.
