What do you feed your one year old? Help regarding home made baby food

My son is 16 months old but was born 2 months premature so isn't on the same weight as a regular baby his age. I'm trying to get him to gain a bit of weight and eat better. It's hard because I work 3pm till late and my parents have been giving him his dinner since he was 3 months old. They usually give him tinned baby food followed by a yoghurt and then followed by what ever their having just for him to pick at. So for example if they're having fish fingers peas and chips they will break him up a fish finger, give him some peas and a few chips to eat whilst they eat.

I've decided tomorrow I might spend the day cooking up a weeks worth of meals for him and freezing. What sort of meals are good ideas? What texture do they need to be for his age? Does it matter that they won't be cooked from fresh?

I just really feel hopeless as in an ideal world would love to come home and cook him a fresh meal and feed it to him myself! Also worried that because he has jarred food he's not getting the nutrients he needs. Occasionally he will have a mashed up roast dinner if they are having one etc

A bit faffy, not daffy. Pretty sure there were no ducks involved in weaning my boys!

Both ds's ate what we ate by the age of just over 1.
Do you feel that maybe your mum is not really on Board and that this is the real problem?

I BLWed so no spoons at all in our house. DS ate everything himself with his hands. Definitely no jars! They taste vile!!! He started being able to use a spoon confidently to feed hinself at around 14 months.
