S has now progressed from veg and fruit to pasta, rice, bread, chicken, tomato sauces, cheese sauces.... Anyone got any tried and tested recipes/meal ideas as I am having a brain blank.

He has had bolognese sauce out of a jar and sweet and sour sauce too.

My ds loves these cheesy vegetable nugget things (www.babyledweaning.com/blw-recipes/fionas-vegetable-nuggets/). I did cut down a bit on the amount of cheese as I was a bit concerned about salt intake but they are yummy. I like them too!

I find the easiest thing is to make meals they can eat (either mashed up a bit or as finger food) - encourages you to eat well too! I often save a small portion of out evening meal over for DS's lunch

I did cod in cheesy spinach sauce the other night which was a big hit with all of us:

Fried a bit of onion in a frying pan, ideally oven proof with butter, added frozen spinach, stirred til melted. Sprinkling of flour (as thickener), fry for a minute. Add milk, then put fish fillets in pan to poach in the sauce til cooked. Sprinkle grated cheese on top, and finish under grill. Serve with mash and extra veg.

There is a BLW cookbook. Perhaps you can beg one from friends or borrow one from a library? There's a good range of ideas in there.
