Your 12-18month year olds fav meals pls

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

Lunch or dinner ideas needed!!!

My baby is just slightly younger so I can't help with the age bracket, but have you looked at the cookbook What Mummy Makes ? I use it frequently for meals for my little one and for meals for my husband and I that I wouldn't feed to my little one for a wee while yet.

My DD is 17 months and we've started to get what her favourite foods are.

So far it's:
Homemade sausageroll with either sausage meat or Quorn sausages with veg and oven cooked sweet potato bits.

Any kind of pasta with reduced salt/sugar jar sauces or quick sauce made with tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and some herbs/spices plus either chicken or something

Veggie fritters. I got this recipe on Instagram from myfirstmeals. She has loads of quick and easy recipes for stuff that's just in your fridge. This one is for leftover Xmas veg, egg and flour.

Mad for hummus. Homemade or pot, we put it on pita bread, baked potato, a dip for picky lunch/tea, etc.

Baked potato and cheese/reduced salt sugar beans

Toasties. I did make a quesidilla but wasn't a massive fan, even though it's basically the same thing🤨

I've just made lentil soup as she loved it in the cafe. It's messy but if she's eating it and enjoying it, then just have to deal with mess.

That's all I got so far, she's quite picky so not a huge help but we are getting there. Definitely recommend looking at myfirstmeals for inspiration

Mine is 15 months and loves:

Porridge and raspberries
Any kind of toast and topping
Cheesy mash with meat and veg
Cheese and ham toasties
Sweet potato mash- again with veg and meat
Pasta and homemade tomato sauce with creme fraiche/cheese, veg and meat
Tuna, Cheese and potato (I add peas for him too!)

I've tried all sorts of wonderful things from loads of recipe books but my 16 month old DS absolute favourite is beans on toast! He asks for it everyday.
He also loves Yorkshire puddings and gravy! He is also partial to a bit of jelly! Haha! He does love fruit and carrots though and eats a fair amount of pasta! But as he is very vocal he basically demands what he wants now and heaven forbid if I try to give him anything else!
