Meal ideas for a fussy toddler

DD is turning her nose up at the food I give her. She will scoff fruit, yoghurt and anything sugary (which I dont generally let her have) but is just taking a few bites of her meals before throwing them on the floor.

What am I doing wrong? What meals do you give your 1 year old?!

Cheesy beans and toast
Mini pizza - Greek yog and flour mixed as base, tomato puree and cheese
Gnocchi with 7 veg sauce
Any pasta really is a hit with my wee one

I think they can just go through stages, for a bit my LG would only take food she could feed herself with, total pain
There is a app BLW/fussy toddler meals that has good ideas (it's a pink logo)

Give her whatever your having.
Finger food is ideal. Don’t give any of the sugary stuff at all.
Cheese on toast fingers
Plain pasta, with finger sized vegetables
Fish goujons
Eggy bread

Thanks. All really good ideas. She has rejected all veg recently so I have started chopping or grating it and adding it into things like spaghetti bolognese or omelettes. Or I mash carrots into potatoes.

I always offer her some veg before or during her meal to try and get her in the habit of eating it but it gets chucked straight on the floor. So frustrating.
