Just that really - had an amazing 6m-1year old with trying and eating different foods, come the toddler era he's not got a very eclectic diet. Just wandering what your 2 year olds or toddlers favourite meals to eat are? I think I have the only 2 year old who doesn't like pasta 🙈
Looking for some inspiration, thank you 😊

So far I've been lucky with DS - he eats almost anything.
His faves are :
Jacket potato with beans and cheese
Spaghetti and meatballs
Chicken casserole (absolutely adores this)
Chicken curry
Shepherd's pie

All of Annabel Karmel recipes were eaten here. www.annabelkarmel.com/app-book-category/our-books/
We are now in the teen stage and have great eaters so it pays off to be consistent. I'd also try to keep to all eating the same dinner together.

Joe Wicks on instagram is great for child friendly meals too. He gets his kids involved in the prep.

Good luck!

OK so when DD was 2 she did love pasta...

But also -
Mild veggie curry and rice
Mild chilli (meat or veggie) and rice
Cheesy mash
Cottage or shepherd's pie
Chicken and veggie casserole and mash
Sausage and mash
Omelettes (cheesy)
Scrambled eggs
Rice and stuff (basically something between a fried rice and risotto with whatever veg we had/she liked, paprika, red pepper paste, tomato puree and stock for flavour)
Quesadillas - tomatoey veg with gentle spices and cheese
Tuna mayo sandwiches (or pasta!)
Cheese on toast

Sausages were the nearest thing to "kids food" she ever ate.

So I'd say our 2.5 yo was an amazing eater until just a few months ago. The meals that have remained big hits are:
Spaghetti bolognese (this is the best as I can sneak almost any veg in there plus some lentils alongside the mince beef)
Roast chicken and various veg sides (other than potatoes, weirdly)
Chicken korma and rice
Picky plate with ham and hummus for protein
Tuna pasta
Pesto pasta

Oh and I think I have the only 2 yo that doesn't like potatoes! Though she will accept chips/fries 😒 I often give her rice instead - would that work as an alternative to pasta?
