R has only been eating a month or so but he loves food. And little man is over purées give him the good stuff! He's got no teeth and will be 7 months in a week!
What are some BLW favorites in your house?
He loves all fruit (blueberries and peaches he most) breads, homemade baked French fries,, almond milk pancakes, carrots, and meats (salmon!). Pan fried Polenta cakes were a big hit too.

Baked sweet potato fries were my daughters absolute favorite. Also banana, bread, pear, cooked apple (we microwaved a slice briefly to soften), steamed carrots, steamed broccoli, and raspberries once she had a pincer grasp.

@winniebee: polenta sticks are a great idea!
French toast or pancakes (no syrup) are HUGE hits at our house.

my baby rejects all finger foods that aren't puffs or mum mums. She is offended they're on her tray and throws them off.
Do I keep offering? Or is there a trick to get her interested? ( she's just started doing well with purees at 9 months, for the longest time she was rejecting everything other than nursing)

@winniebee: Ive made the first two recipes on this old HB blog post and my son has gobbled both up! I froze them and when I'm going to give him some for dinner I just let them thaw all day and then nuke for like 15 seconds. They are messy though (crumbly). When I don't feel like dealing with a mess I break off pieces with a fork and feed him that way 
He still likes it because it's something to "chew" rather than purées (which he's also just about over but I still give for convenience).

Oooh almond milk pancakes sound awesome. I wasn't sure if my babe was too young for almond milk (he's almost 7 months)... he likes blueberries, avocado, banana. Havent tried much hand held food yet though

@magnolia: our doc said that the whole nut thing before 1 has been debunked. so if you don't have any specific allergy concerns to go for it. R doesn't have dairy b/c of spit up issues or else I would have just made them with cow's milk

The only thing DD2 hasn't loved is plain Greek yogurt. She loves everything I've offered so far. Faves are broccoli, yam fries, fish and noodle soup!
@Peasinapod: keep offering! Different varieties and retry foods in few weeks.
