Recipes for 7 month old

I am struggling to find recipe ideas for my 7.5 month old. He's fully weaned and having 3 meals a day. I offer textured blended meal along side finger foods too.
I have made the usual cottage pie and spag bol I'm just wondering if anybody has any meal ideas?
Thanks in advance!

There are some recipes, sample menus and portion guides in this guide from the Caroline Walker Trust.

There’s also some great Weaning recipes on MN.

And have you found the Weaning section too? There’s lots of other MNers on there, all trying to deal with this new phase Smile

I have the annabel karmel and Ella's kitchen first foods cookbooks which have some amazing recipes in, both purees and finger food. My daughters favourites are gnocchi with tomato sauce, macaroni cheese with courgettes, spinach and cheese muffins, Indian Dahl, tikka masala, spiced lamb and couscous, spinach and feta parcels, anything with a cheese sauce!!

This isn’t me trying to sound cheeky, genuine question, does he have the same as you? As that is the easiest route IME, no specific meal planning required. I’ve found that if I want to add extra things for my meal that I wouldn’t give to me DCs then I add them in later (eg making a sauce, take some out before adding the bits I would have like salt etc).

It doesn’t really matter if he doesn’t take it all in, there’s still loads of time to master various foods and textures. My 7mo currently gets ‘sticks’/strips of meat to gum on for instance, she doesn’t eat much of it but she doesn’t really need to. On the other hand she is taking down plenty of the smooth and easy foods, like homemade muffins (sugar free), plain yoghurt, mozzarella, puréed food etc. Anything to keep it as simple as possible! She has smooth porridge or a muffin for breakfast at the moment, then whatever we’re having for lunch and dinner, and about 4 bottles of formula milk per day.
