DD has decided she is too cool for purees and only interested in finger foods. Suggestions for easy items for meals/snacks? Don't have a ton of time to cook, so needs to be easy. Thanks!!!

Avocado, banana, slices of melon? That sort of thing was always easiest for us.
-
Any type of fruit or baked/boiled veggies or eggs if your LO isn't allergic to it.

@rachiecakes: Avocado was a hit!!
-
sweet potato fries were a fave. so we're peaches. I sliced off a piece and left the skin on so there was something to hold onto that wasn't slippery. also strips of grilled chicken.

- I peeled sweet potatoes, cut into cubes, sprayed lightly with olive oil and baked until easily pierced. They lasted for several days and he loved them.
-Black beans are another favorite - you can buy a canned organic brand to get very low sodium.
- Try mashing 1/2 cup oat flour (I use Bob's Red Mill) with a banana and then fry up like pancakes. They are so good with cream cheese on top for breakfast for all of us and super easy. -
We did finger foods cut into small pieces so not BLW style, but he loved it. Cooked carrots, green beans, zucchini, peas, peaches, pears, banana, and mandarin oranges are some favorites. I sometimes buy the diced peaches etc packed in juice for convenience. Also shredded cheese, black beans, tiny pieces of chicken or turkey for protein.

I just did whatever we were eating because it was faster than preparing something separate
But our staples were blueberries, bananas, pancakes/waffles or cheerios in the mornings.

She pretty much eat whatever we eat, so we're now just more conscious of whether our meal has at least 1-2 thing she can eat! So much easier! And fruit/cheese/crackers as last resort since we always have those!

Cooked pasta shapes (with or without sauce), toast fingers
