LO is a major carnivore and this recipe is full of veggies so I like that! I have done it with turkey, pork, and beef so far. <a href="http://weelicious.com/2008/06/09/cheesy-turkey-meatloaf-bites/" rel="nofollow">http://weelicious.com/2008/06/09/cheesy-turkey-meatloaf-bites/</a>. Thanks for the zucchini bread recipe I will have to try that! brownie on "Food for 13-month-old" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-13-month-old#post-303119 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 17:10:01 +0000 brownie 303119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LO is 17 months old but has been eating this way since he was 9 months. 6:30 - nurse 7:00 - wake 8:00 - breakfast at daycare. Typically fruit and meat of some sort. Today he was with me and we had a chicken sandwich. He gets his special milk here too. 11:00 - nurse 11:30 - lunch at daycare. Typically chicken nuggets or fish sticks or dinner leftovers. Frozen veggies of some sort. Special milk 2:00 - snack typically freeze dried fruit, leftover lunch, or cheerios in his snack cup and his special milk. 5:00 - nurse 6:00 - dinner - whatever we are having. Last night was toast, sausage and eggs. The other day it was chicken soup. Last week it was chicken and black bean enchiladas.

In Canada we have a brand called "President's Choice" and they make a toddler banana bread snack. I wish I was with-it enough to make my own :( katmmad on "Food for 13-month-old" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-13-month-old#post-302971 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 15:55:52 +0000 katmmad 302971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So interesting! @rubies and @t-mom, care to share your recipes for banana bread and mini meatloaves? The zucchini muffin recipe I mentioned is one I actually got from @MrsBee's pinterest stream -- Ingredients 1 cup zucchini, grated 1/3 cup onion, grated 1 egg 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 1/4 cup bread crumbs salt and pepper, to taste Instructions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray, set aside. Grate the zucchini and onion. Place both in a dish towel to squeeze out the excess water. Do NOT skip this part, or the middle of the zucchini cakes will be really soggy. In a bowl combine the egg, cheese, bread crumbs, zucchini, onion, salt and pepper. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill the muffin cups to the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is browned and set.

Offer water as well. 9:00 - snack at day care, usually fruits and cracker like mum mum 9:30 - 5 oz whole milk in bottle 12:00 pm - lunch such as mini meatloaves (made in mini-muffin tins in advance and frozen), fruits, pasta, sausages, dr. praegar veggie nugget, tofu, hard boiled egg, offer water. 2 pm - 3 oz whole milk 3 pm - snack from snack bin, puffs, or possibly yo baby yogurt, babybel cheese 5pm - snack if still at day care 6:30 - dinner, similar to lunch, or whatever we are having if finger-friendly 7:30 nurse (again not sure how much intake, it's probably just for comfort at this point) We are trying to inrease his whole milk intake now that he has transitioned off breastmilk. He only likes to eat finger food and not be spoon fed, so I find myself only serving him "de-constructed" foods like chunky beef stew (only the solid pieces, not the soup).

Her day looks like this: 7:30am - Breakfast at daycare: any combination of :eggs, sausage, bacon, cheerios, kix, fruit, pancakes, waffles, toast, english muffin, bagel. 9:00am - morning snack - options: fruit, crackers 11:00am - lunch: options: pasta, quesadilla, chicken, taquito, shepherds pie, fish, etc, fruit/vegetables 2:00pm - snack 4:00pm - snack 6:00pm - dinner at home: protein (chicken, turkey, beef, eggs) and vegetables. Fruit/yogurt if still hungry. small portion of carbs. We try to limit her carbs at dinner because she gets quite a few during the day. She is offered milk at each meal and water at snack. If she's thirsty before bed, we typically offer milk again.

I also always pack him healthy snacks like yogurt (make myself with just plain, whole fat, Greek yogurt with all different fruit purees- this week is apple cinnamon) or fruit cups or string cheese. My son eats dinner at 6 and that's a little early for my husband and I as we are barely home from work. So I've found that I always try to make a healthy-toddler friendly meal the night before and then he eats our leftovers. It really seems to work! Last night I had roated acorn squash and grilled chicken so that's what he is having tonight. heffalump on "Food for 13-month-old" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-for-13-month-old#post-302542 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 12:29:42 +0000 heffalump 302542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LO just eats whatever I eat, I always share my meal with her. She used to eat a lot of cheese too, but we got the no no from the doctor for cheese because she's been having constipation issues. She gets milk during breakfast, lunch, and before bed and drinks water during dinner and with snack. What we ate yesterday: Breakfast: Hard boiled egg (the only way she'll eat eggs), toast, prunes (because of the constipation) Lunch: Organic turkey hot dog, peas, and fruit Snack: Prunes and yogurt Dinner: Spinach, tomato, and mushroom pizza. It had goat cheese too but I kept it off of her part.

Breakfast - 8:30 or so - two kinds of fruit (melon, bananas, berries, or whatever) and Cheerios or a multigrain waffle. Lunch - 12:30 or so - usually fruit, tofu/chicken, cheese, maybe some crackers/pasta. Dinner - 5:30 or so - similar to lunch, with a veggie or two thrown in, like steamed carrots or broccoli, or some of what we're having if it's kid-friendly. He gets a sippy of milk with each meal. Sometimes he finishes it, sometimes he doesn't. He doesn't seem to need a snack, but he eats more than most toddlers during meals, probably.

I know I'm relying on cheese too much but it makes everything stick together so he's more likely to eat the meal instead of dissecting it and throwing 80% of it on the floor.
