Lunch ideas?

My daughters nearly 10 months and I need some more lunch ideas. We have egg (scrambled, hard boiled, omelette), toast, pancakes, crumpets, vegetable sticks, cut up fruit.

We normally have porridge in the morning & then she’ll have the same as us for dinner (just cut up more).

We use some of the jars from cow & gate or ella’s kitchen but I’d like to make some foods that I could possibly freeze or refrigerate as it will be cheaper.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated? If there are good websites that will be great as well? Even better if you have homemade recipes!!

Thank you!!

I used to make different dips for toast fingers and veg sticks to mix it up a bit and get some protein and different flavours in, so things like carrot hummus, beetroot whizzed up with cream cheese, tuna with natural yoghurt and sweetcorn.

Wraps spread with something like cream cheese and rolled up and cut into pinwheels went down well too.

And potato wedges with things to dip in was good. Just chop a potato into big bits, toss them in some oil (and herbs or spices if you like) and cook for about 40 mins.

OP, I think as long as you're keeping an eye on salt content any cheese is fine. I am a horrible cheese snob so made mine have medium cheddar and shifted them onto mature as soon as they would accept it. Anything else tastes like soap to me and I objected to having to eat it myself too!

But I believe nicer mothers than me go for mild cheddars. Anything you can all get on with should be fine.
