I think that might have to be on the menu for dinner this week. For all of us :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-los-menu#post-1257917 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 23:14:02 +0000 Periwinkle 1257917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I had forgotten about this thread!

LO only has 3 teeth that are low enough to chew but he can handle pretty much any food we've given him. Here's what he ate today, 12m-</p> <p>breakfast - whole banana, bar of baked cranberry applesauce oatmeal, yogurt</p> <p>snack- pear slices, cheese hunk</p> <p>lunch - quarter of a taco burger, slice of wheat bun, thawed blueberries, peas</p> <p>snack - cheerios</p> <p>dinner - sweet potato/pinto bean/salsa/cilantro/quinoa scramble, slice of zucchini cheddar bread, quartered grapes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-los-menu#post-1257840 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 22:28:22 +0000 fancyfunction 1257840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is almost 12 mo and also only has 2.5 teeth. I freeze a lot of leftovers like chicken and turkey and also like to keep bags of frozen veggies on hand so I can take out as much as I want for her meal. She's good at chewing them if they're cut into small pieces. She really loves grilled cheese and hummus too. Another good idea for freezing is soups and stews. I portioned out bags of frozen stew and she'll also eat pasta fagioli soup, so I like to freeze portions of that as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-los-menu#post-1257835 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 22:23:50 +0000 Periwinkle 1257835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 13 months old and I feel like we're in a bit of a food "rut." I am a WOHM and tend to cook on the weekends for the week with minimal preparation on weeknights. I am trying to give LO some extra variety in his diet but it's hard when my time at home is limited.</p> <p>LO's usual menu looks something like this:</p> <p>Nurse<br /> B: Oatmeal and applesauce<br /> AM Bottle<br /> L: Veggies or veggie/fruit mix (homemade puree)- our babysitter is vegetarian and we do not bring meat to her home unless it is thoroughly mixed in to a puree<br /> PM Bottle<br /> S: Yogurt or cottage cheese/cheese and whole wheat pita<br /> PM Bottle<br /> D: Generally what we eat (turkey chili, meatloaf, chicken, roasted veggies etc.)<br /> Nurse</p> <p>Any suggestions for easy to prepare/store/freeze dishes? LO only has 2 little teeth so we are still mashing/pureeing food for the most part or breaking into very small pieces. </p>
