LO is becoming more interested in table foods vs. purees, and I'm finding myself at a loss with what to feed her! I used to do a lot of cooking, but DH works 3rd shift now, so I don't cook during the week. I need help with some idea or quick and healthy foods I can share with LO....particularly meats. Thanks in advance!

We have really just been feeding LO what we have for dinner lately!
For daycare, I pack leftovers (last night's chicken for quessadilla, rice, and avacado chunks).
In a pinch, I give him contents of canned soup, deli meat, or steamed veggies. We also always have some homemade red sauce and pasta in the fridge (which is his favorite).

I cook up a chicken breast with a little olive oil, garlic and pepper for E sometimes and cut it up into pieces. That will last for a few meals when I serve it with some veggies. Other good quick proteins, scrambled eggs and beans. Or I'll cook a meatloaf one night and both of us can eat off of it a few nights.

@winniebee: I was wondering if deli meat was ok. I'm not a huge meat eater myself, but we always have sandwhich meat at our house.

we do a lot of scrambled eggs over rice.

@jennylynn: I give it once in a while - I feel like w/ everything else - in moderation it's ok.
My LO doesn't love eggs, but I do offer that frequently.
Also, I tend to freeze some meals that he likes into smaller portions. Example? He loves a beef in gravy w/ carrots dish. I froze 2/3 of it into 3 separate containers and defrosted one overnight so tonight he'll have that for dinner.

She loves meat loaf (make a few ahead and keep in the freezer) and tacos with ground beef!

I was going to say deli meat if it is for your LO! If DH would just eat it for dinner then I would serve it more often. Also you can buy cooked frozen chicken breast strips as well as chicken nuggets. Another shortcut I take is buying pre-cooked meatballs and adding pasta sauce over noodles although that is just for me and DH since LO isn't here yet.
