What healthy meals does your toddler love?

I am ashamed to admit my DD basically lives on fish fingers & chips and spag bol. She has a good appetite but is fussy about new textures and flavours.

What healthy meals do your toddlers enjoy that I can try and get her to eat?

I posted earlier but DS actually had a really good update so I feel I was unfair to him 😄 lunch was an egg, tuna mayo (stolen from me), cucumber. His fave marmite toast was rejected. Dinner was jacket potato, cheese, beans, broccoli. He always eats breakfast brilliantly. The key I think is eating at the same time as him (hence eating everything at nursery!). So that’s 5pm dinners for me 😄 frees up my evenings I guess.

My 2yo DS loves strong flavours
So Chinese noodles with vegetables and chicken & mild sweet chilli sauce
Any pasta as long as it's got olives in
Pretty much any pork product - bacon is stolen from other people. Beans and sausage stew.
Risotto
Paella
Cauliflower cheese
Quiche
Mild chilli with sour cream and rice.
Vegetable soup or minestrone soup
Mild vegetable curry - as long as it has mango chutney & garlic naan bread to dip

Gravy stew. Buy a slow cooker if you haven’t got one and bung everything in.

DCs will eat anything that has been in the slow cooker!

DS1 used to love chicken tomato pasta which was really simple- chop up some chicken and cook with garlic and onion, add tinned tomatoes and cooked pasta. Sometimes I'd add sweetcorn at the end too. If DC fussy about onion, either chop it really tiny or just leave it out.

Even at the age of 9 he still loves tomato pasta but these days he prefers it with bacon or sausage.

Place marking. My 2.5 year old is so fussy. Of course she eats everything at nursery but at home - nope. She's even started to refusing pizza, pasta, chicken nuggets etc.
DH and I really want to encourage her to eat better and with us as my one year old is starting to copy her.
