Simple recipes for family meals with 12 month old

[pamg]

Just wondered if you could post your recipes for meals you cook for yourself and LO for lunch and tea that are simple and quick to prepare.

Struggling for ideas now especially with LO getting older.

Thanks.xx

Whether or not you BLW, the BLW cookbook is fab. It has varied our diet so much and most are easy store cupboard meals. I also just bought dh 'my daddy cooks' for fathers day, and that looks pretty good too

Here's some of the quick and easy things I make that my LOs (3 and 1) love

- Chicken stir fry
- Spaghetti bolognese
- Spaghetti and meatballs
- Meatballs with onion gravy and mash (or sausage and mash)
- Chicken pasta bake (I just brown the chicken and then chuck the rest in a dish and pop it in the oven and its ready for teatime)
- Sausage casserole (again I just put it all in an oven dish and leave it in the oven for a few hours while I do everything else that needs doing)
- Thai green curry
- Chicken wraps
- Shephards/cottage pie

I also make my own soups - its not quick or easy but I do mine on a monday and make enough to last a few days through the week and freeze it then the day before I defrost them. And I do the same with a few meals especially sunday dinner I do extra potatoes and veg and freeze them then if I'm in a rush and can't cook a lunch I can just pop them in the microwave x

A meal i did recently went down well with all of us -

Chicken breast cut into cubes
Creme fraiche (cream if you want, cream cheese would be nice too)
2 balls of frozen spinach
1 leek
mushrooms
garlic
pasta

Cook chicken and veg in frying pan until spinach defrosted, add creme fraiche and cook on a medium low heat for 10 minutes or so, mix in pasta et voila!
