I am so stuck in a rut with meals atm, I feel like I do the same meals on repeat alllllll the time.

So I'd love to just hear what people have given their toddlers today, so I can get some fresh ideas! Thanks!

My 16 month old was at nursery today but I'll do the weekend. We give both DDs whatever we're having for dinner though, and we just eat early with them. This is mainly laziness because we can't be bothered cooking two meals, but I have found that they do eat more this way as well.

Saturday
Breakfast - porridge (just oats and milk)
Lunch - cheese omelette with cucumber sticks
Dinner - fish pie, followed by plain yoghurt
I think for snacks she had a banana in the morning, and a couple of cream crackers in the afternoon

Sunday
Breakfast - porridge
Lunch - scrambled egg with toast and some tomatoes
Dinner - lasagne, then a bit of cake I'd baked with my older daughter.
Snacks I think similar to Saturday, possibly different fruit in the morning.

Her favourites are a creamy chicken broccoli pasta thing, fish cakes, and cheesy vegetable tomato pasta bake. But I am lucky that (for now at least!) she's a pretty good eater.

My just turned 2 year old nibbled at the following meals today (she eats like a sparrow which always stresses me but is growing on her curve so I try not to let it worry me):

Breakfast: full fat Greek yoghurt with Strawberries, blueberries, cornflakes and honey
Lunch: toast with beans and cheese and sweetcorn (sweetcorn she asked to be added as that's her current favourite thing)
Dinner: linguine with prawn, tomatoes and chorizo
My mum had her for part of the day so she'll have had some snacks then as my mum always gives her something but I didn't ask today so not sure what it was.
