Toddler Meals

 

I started this ever-growing post back when Lelya was a wee one. Now that Blair is starting to eat more solids and joining us in her high chair at mealtimes, I decided to pick this back up again. Of course, not all meals are always this healthy and creative, and many nights we do chicken nuggets and pizza, and many mornings we just do apples and bananas and cereal. But here are some more elaborate meals we enjoy around here:

quinoa, broccoli, evoo, salt & pepper, grated parmesan cheese

Greek yogurt, organic pumpkin flax granola, fresh blueberries

Scrambled eggs, tomato, avacado, garlic, onion, & parsley 

organic cheddar cheese & multi grain crackers

Lots of open faced & regular sandwiches. ^ whole wheat cracked bread with cream cheese, cucumbers, & scallions.

whole wheat grain bread with peanut butter & plantains

potato gnocchi, onion, tomato, evoo, salt & pepper, parmesan cheese, fresh basil

Quinoa, onions, corn, black beans, tomatos

lots of fresh fruit

avacado, cucumber, corn, tomato, scallions, swiss cheese, cilantro

whole wheat penne, organic tomato sauce & paste, chopped veggies (summer squash, green pepper, mushroom, & tomato), evoo, salt & pepper, & parsley

roasted pine nut hummus, carrots, green beans, honey wheat pretzels

whole wheat spaghetti, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, red onion, feta cheese, evoo, salt & pepper

spaghetti squash, red onion, corn, peas, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, evoo, salt & pepper. This looks like a complete mish mash (because it was) but it was DE-lish. Suggestion - Add some fresh shredded parm

roasted garlic & olive oil cous cous with chopped zucchini, summer squash, & red onion

farfalle, grape tomatoes, spinach, onion, garlic, evoo, grated parmesan

 Van's whole wheat & gluten-free blueberry waffles with fresh blackberries, strawberries, & cinnamon

Homemade loaded mac 'n cheese: pasta shells, evoo, brocolli, grape tomatoes, green pepper, spinach, with fresh grated mozzarella & parmesan cheese

What Lelya drinks and her supplements: probiotics (supposed to help with her eczema), freshly squeezed OJ, 2% organic milk, organic coconut oil (also to help with her eczema) & gummy vites to grow big & strong :)

Will be coming back here every so often to add updates. Some other staple snacks he enjoys include pirates booty, go-gurt, raisins, graham crackers, & his all time favorite guilty pleasure: goldfish
