Quick dinner ideas - 1.5 year old

[LemonLemonLemon]

Hi all, three days a week my little one is at nursery and one day a week he is with family. He eats a good main meal in childcare and therefore only really needs a small / quick snack in the evenings as he’s often tired and I don’t like to keep him waiting too long after we get in from work etc. He’s not fussy at all.

Can I have some ideas please? Thanks

Mostly here for others' ideas, but DD almost always has a small bit of our dinner I save from the night before.

No extra thought or activity needed bar a whirl in the microwave.

Cheese/beans/egg on toast
Protein + salad in a wrap
Soup

• Sandwiches/toasties
• Various salads - these could be made the night before and kept in the fridge, same with sandwiches
• Pasties/sausage rolls/quiches that you can eat cold or microwave to warm up
• Eggs - boiled, scrambled, poached, fried...with toast and/or salad or baked beans etc
• Frozen jacket potatoes with cheese and beans/spag hoops/cheese and salad
• Beans/spag hoops on toast
• Toddler ready meals that can be quickly microwaved
• Tinned/premade soup with toast
• Leftovers of a previous meal

To be honest my DD has rarely eaten any dinner at all since she was that age on her nursery days as she loads up at nursery and isnt hungry afterwards.

Our quick go to meals are

Peanut butter toast and a banana
Porridge with peanut butter and fruit
Cheesy scrambled egg with toast and beans
Pasta with cream cheese, ham and peas stirred through
Picky plate of crackers, cheese, veg and fruit
Tomato soup and cheese on toast
Pita bread pizzas with veg sticks

Also microwaving freezer stash meals - shepherds pie, fish pie, dhal and rice etc

Avocado on toast and poached eggs too

Mac n cheese www.coop.co.uk/recipes/mustard-mac-n-cheese-in-a-mug

And if you can afford it my LO loves a wee M&S kids ready meal (only now and again though when the going gets tough!)
