Food ideas for a 12 month old

dawnrise · Mar 25th, 2012, 16:23 PM

Hi All

I seem to have hit a brick wall with meal ideas for my 12 month old, so would welcome any suggestions, as I do seem to do the same meals, i.e spag bol, cottage pie, pastas, roast dinner etc, just feel like i need a bit of inspiration. Also in the day Lo stays with grandparents 3 times per week, so lunch ideas are also welcome, seem to just have sarnies or the occasional jar of food. What age should these jars be stopped, i think the grandparents see it as quick/easy as they don't have much to eat on a lunchtime apart from sandiwches so again suggestions welcome, are there things I can prepare in advance for them to give?

Paige loves chicken drumsticks, I just take the skin off and rip the chicken off the bone. I give her these with peas/carrots and potatoes.
Tonight is fish for dinner, River Cobbler with tomato and basil butter. Ive never even had it before so Im hoping she likes it!

Things like macaroni, soup, baked potatoes, Toasted sanwiches, pasta are all enjoyed here. She also loves Tuna mayo & sweetcorn on a roll!
