Toddler batch cooking ideas!

[whammam]

My toddler is 21 months and isn't a big eater at all- I'm still breastfeeding and she'd prefer boob over food still mostly.

But! I would like to batch cook some things to store in freezer anyway.

Tomorrow I am planning on making a veggie filled pasta sauce.

What else does everyone batch cook for their toddlers?

Any decent instagrams to follow for this too?

Thank you!

Lasagne
curry
chilli
pasta sauce
fish pie
cottage pie-just the meat & veg but, then just make mash fresh.
chicken casserole
beef casserole

Should have mentioned we are vegetarian; but can make those without meat.

Do you just make in a big dish, then when cooked cut them and put them into ziplocks?

Just feed her what you eat? Family meals, sit down together, everyone has same food. This might increase her interest in good as she will see you eating.

I keep a few favourites in the freezer: pasta sauce, brocolli and cauliflower cheese, cod in tomato sauce and vegetable tagine. Other than that she just eats what we eat.

We do in the evenings! We all sit down and eat. It's mostly lunches as I am a sahm and I don't eat lunch some days; so just want some things in the freezer that I can pull out when needed.

My daughter loves this vegetarian bolognese & it freezes beautifully in cubes. It’s an early weaning recipe, but you can just cut the veg larger & use bigger pasta shapes.
