Help low on ingredients ideas for baby

[Polkadotshot]

Running really low on food and in isolation. Hoping to make baby some decent food given what I have in. I'm not bothered about us adults as thinking can get takeaways as last resort. Can anyone help me with ideas 8months old. She is not great with finger food still so mashed food at moment. This is what I have in cupboard and freezer:

Lentils
Butternut squash (I think this gives her BAD wind pain anyone found this??)
Sweet potatoes
Kale
Cabbage
Peas
Onions
Mushrooms
Peppers
Pork
Chicken
I have no milk or yoghurt she can have only her baby milk (cwpa)
Sardines
Tuna
Tinned tomatoes
Not too bad a supply of dried and frozen herbs

Hoping to play around with the lentils other than Annabelle Carmel lentils and sweet potatoes which I already have batch cooked but don't want to waste food by experimenting and making something foul as I'm not great in the kitchen at best of times (hangs head in shame). What would you make with these please?

Something like this

You could mash the sweet potato for a topping instead of sliced with broccoli.

Then you can eat it too and freeze some in small portions for baby.

Thank you! It looks tasty too!

Have you got any stock granules or cubes that you could use a little of to make a vegetable soup with the onions, peas, kale/cabbage and lentils? When cooked, blend before serving. If no stock then just use water, it will be a bit bland but still a hot meal for baby.

What form is the chicken? Whole bird, fillets etc?
Maybe make something like chicken and mushroom in white sauce and serve with rice?

If you are on Twitter, look at Jack Monroe's feed. She is looking at people's store cupboards and suggesting recipe ideas.

DM swears by vegetable mash for toddler DD. Cook sweet potatoes with any veg and blend with whatever you've got or a bit of water if needed. DD loves it. Can be on it's own with cooked lentils for protein or on the side of something else

Thanks everyone I'm hitting the kitchen now

Make a lentil daal with cumin in?
Fish cakes with the tubs

I just googled to double check but you can freeze cooked butternut squash so my suggestion there, as it isn’t a food you want to give her a lot of but may need to give her in a squeeze, is to roast it (slice in half, deseed and drizzle with oil then roast) then mash the roasted squash and freeze in small portions. Maybe in ice cube trays?

Can be used then in any other mash you make her or as is for a “side” to whatever else she’s having.

From the other ingredients you have off top of my head:

A tuna “pie” (like a shepherds pie but tuna & onion & maybe peas for the filling and mashed sweet potato maybe with a little squash for the topping. Maybe a little grated cheese on top?

“Fish pie” with tuna and instant mash used to be my go to easy dinner if I was caught out for time/ingredients when dd was about this age/stage. Tinned tuna in water, lowest salt instant mash I could get made up without salt added too but I’d add some herbs for flavour.

Pork and chicken - I would recommend making a couple of casseroles for her with these with some of the veggies, just keep stock/salt out or to a minimum and use herbs instead for some flavour.

Disclaimer I’m veggie

Again serve with the sweet potatoes perhaps with a little squash added although bread would be fine for the carb element too.

Could do her a baby version of bolognese sauce with the tomatoes, onions and lentils that again doesn’t have to be served with pasta, noodles, rice, cous cous or even bread will still work too.

Sardines work well with tomatoes (one of the few things I miss as a veggie is tomato sardines on toast!) you could do her a little sardines and tomato stew with the sardines, tomatoes, onion and kale.

All the above should be freezable I think as I know it’s hard when they’re eating quite small portions!
