I guess he's *ok* with it because at least he didn't throw them on the floor :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-657173 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:24:38 +0000 keiki_mama 657173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yum!

This is what happened yesterday! It took less than 30 minutes to make. I baked a small potato (ahead of time), steamed broccoli (ahead of time), and my leftover cooked salmon to make the cakes.</p> <p>Pardon the ugly presentation .... I'll make it better next time. haha!</p> <p>[attach=79/13/mk0h23.450x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-655162 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:53:57 +0000 sarac 655162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken with some kind of spice/flavor, broccoli, and some kind of grain. Done! This is a common meal for my house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-654866 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:45:43 +0000 T-Mom 654866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Hahaha, ok. Report back to me on your next attempt and I'll do the same ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-654861 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:44:33 +0000 irene 654861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I desperately tried something like that too, and they kept falling apart!! I will study this link you sent and see what happens (but probably not today lol) Thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-654854 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:41:21 +0000 T-Mom 654854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: ah ok. You could try onigiri with mixed in ingredients with the rice if you want to get some more nutrients into rice. <a href="http://justbento.com/handbook/bento-basics/onigiri-on-parade-guide-onigiri-omusubi-rice-ball-shapes-types-and-fun" rel="nofollow">http://justbento.com/handbook/bento-basics/onigiri-on-parade-guide-onigiri-omusubi-rice-ball-shapes-types-and-fun</a></p> <p>I can't give you many tips on that, the ones I made before for LOs fell apart, I think it wasn't sticky enough. Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-654839 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:36:59 +0000 mrsjazz 654839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: Thanks for the idea! I'm making these tonight :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-654831 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:34:42 +0000 irene 654831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I thought about this (yes rice cooking right now lol) - but i've tried fried rice before but he's not too thrilled with it. It's not "together" and "sticky" enough and he cant really pick them up to eat because it is too shattered. He likes white rice but that has no nutrients... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-654820 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:31:55 +0000 T-Mom 654820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is your rice cooked? If so, you could do a quick fried rice with your salmon leftovers and frozen veggies? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-654774 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:20:28 +0000 irene 654774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: Yes I have eggs!!!!! LOL<br /> Thanks for this!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-654743 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:14:30 +0000 tysonja 654743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my first thought was fritters! kids usually love them, and assuming you have eggs in your fridge too, you have lots of ingredients to turn into fritters. maybe like:</p> <p>broccoli and cheese fritters<br /> salmon + rice fritters<br /> etc? :)</p> <p>here are 2 recipes to get an idea... basically mix up crumbled meat/veg/cheese with an egg mixture and fry into little cakes :)</p> <p><a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/06/broccoli-parmesan-fritters/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/06/broccoli-parmesan-fritters/</a></p> <p><a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2011/08/zucchini-fritters/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2011/08/zucchini-fritters/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-cook-for-lo-tonight#post-654709 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:07:33 +0000 irene 654709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am running out of ideas! I've got 3 go-to recipes that I can make really fast for LO but he's been eating the same things over and over. </p> <p>I have leftover quesadillas that i made yesterday but i want to make something else on top of that (so I can pack his lunch for tomorrow too). My usual go to dish would be pasta with cheese sauce but I feel like he's been eating that all the time lately.</p> <p>Do you have good recipes that can be done within 15-30 minutes, that I can potentially make for him this afternoon before picking him up from daycare? (LO is 14 months)</p> <p>Here's what I have in stock:<br /> rice<br /> pasta<br /> spinach (some)<br /> broccoli and carrots<br /> chicken (still frozen right now)<br /> cheese, milk, butter,<br /> garlic<br /> black beans<br /> frozen sweet peas<br /> frozen peas, carrots and corn<br /> some leftover salmon (cooked)<br /> some leftover green string beans (cooked)<br /> ETA: Eggs :)<br /> Ketchup<br /> Bread<br /> Pita bread </p>
