Just roasted with a little seasoning. A little shake of parmesan cheese on top of veggies was always a hit with my LO.</p> <p>Hummus and chunks of pita.</p> <p>Softer cheeses; LO loved (and loves) mozzarella and goat cheese.</p> <p>Cooked apples with butter and cinnamon or apple pie seasoning.</p> <p>Large strips of sweet onion cooked soft; same with mushrooms (baby white button mushrooms work well, are softer than some other varieties).</p> <p>I also made these broccoli and cheese bites I found online. </p> <p>Chicken cooked in broth so it's tender. </p> <p>Fruit/cereal bars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-led-weaning-recipe-ideas#post-1899602 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 16:38:25 +0000 MrsRoo 1899602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our go to at that age was roasted sweet potato fingers (sliced sweet potatoes, little olive oil, baked in the oven @ 350 for 20-30 minutes, or until done looking) I always had a Pyrex container of them in the fridge to round out her meals or for snacks. They were the easiest thing for her to pick up and she loved them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-led-weaning-recipe-ideas#post-1899584 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 16:06:38 +0000 Honeydew 1899584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS (9 mos) is more interested in the solid foods to pick up rather than the purees we've been feeding him. I'm at a loss of creative juices of what to feed him. Any ideas of foods that you can make in batches (refrigerated or froze) so I can have a stash at home and at daycare? Recipes included would be extremely helpful. Otherwise my poor DS is only going to survive on string cheese, grilled chicken, puffs, and mum mums. :) lol </p>
