I was thinking the other day; as I was scrambling to make LO dinner after we got home from work. It would be nice to have an ongoing thread to share what LO had for dinner! I know a lot of us try to keep things easy, interesting and/or healthy for our LO. Might be a great way to get ideas for a quick, easy, healthy dinner!
Maybe share their age and whether you SAH/WAH/WOH?

Tonight's Dinner: reheated leftovers from last night. Panko/bread crumb chicken bites, steamed broccoli and a fruit for dessert. Probably frozen blueberries or couple slices of peaches.
Comments: Tonight DH works till 9pm so I'm happy I have leftovers to heat up bc I'm flying solo!

Tonight's Dinner: Hamburgers at our local Legion for new playground equipment
Comments: i'm very much the mom that tries to feed her what we are eating, unless it has too much heat/spice. She loves table food, so this helps us a lto. I throw in more veggies into her's though since DH is anti-veggie.

Tonight's Dinner: eggplant parmesean
Comments: I usually feed her whatever we're having. If she wont eat well I supplement with a pouch and things I know she'll eat like cheese or yogurt. She loooooves anything with marinara though. Tonight should be a hit!

Tonight's Dinner: Leftover crock pot chicken and dumplings
Comments: With a few exceptions he eats what we eat. If for some reason I make something I don't think he can/should eat I pull out and nuke one of his freezer meals: ground turkey and apple meatloaf or something like that.

Tonight's Dinner: My recipe is at home but it's a pasta and egg dish that I found in my Food Network magazine.
Comments: She had leftover beef stew for lunch. I wish we had more leftovers of that for dinner but we ate it all last night!
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
@locavore_mama: how do you do "dessert" at this age? My lo gives up on life when she's done eating and doesn't understand what dessert is yet.
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@mediagirl: haha I use the term "dessert" loosely. I just mean that I give it at the end after she is done eating. Never on the plate with her dinner. When she feigns "all done" to get down I give her some fruits. Which then usually incites her to stay and eat some more of her dinner too! LOL And to be clear "dessert" is ALWAYS fruits!

Tonight's Dinner: reheated (or straight from fridge) leftover chicken pesto pasta, grapes, cheese, and whatever else I think he'll eat. Husband and I will eat maybe turkey w/ taco seasoning on a salad after LO goes to bed.
Comments: It's hard to come up with dinners that are fast enough to have on the table for LO to eat. I don't get home from work until 6:15, and he goes to bed around 7! So fast is best, which usually means leftovers.

Tonight's Dinner: leftovers for all! We're headed to a hotel tomorrow so no new cooking. Quinoa/chicken/kale/onion/ bell pepper stirfry + probably some kiwis and applesauce and roasted squash
Comments: meatloaf or frittata in muffin tins are the perfect serving size lately!
grapefruit / 4997 posts
This is such a great idea! LO will be introduced to solids in the next week or so. Going to start with mashed avocados.
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@scg00387: ooh do you have a frittata in muffin recipe you like? I think that would be perfect frozen for breakfast!

Tonight's dinner: We have house guests and they are making dinner so I have no idea what or when it will be. So, T will have leftovers from taco night - rice, beans, and ground beef.
Comments: It is hard having extended stay house guests....
honeydew / 7687 posts
@locavore_mama: not really a recipe.... I just do however many eggs I have and a dash of milk, then some black pepper and cumin and whatever veggies we have around chopped and mixed in! Sorry, not helpful. 
last time I did shredded carrots, onions, zucchini, and tomato with jalapeño in a few for us since LO does not like spicy stuff.
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@scg00387: ah OK, I would've altered your recipe anyhoo. So what makes a frittata different from a quiche?

Tonight's Dinner: something from the freezer
Comments: I don't know what that is yet, guess I better figure it out soon...
honeydew / 7687 posts
@locavore_mama: I think of quiche as more of a cake-y texture but the Internet tells me it has a crust and more milk http://enthusiasticfoodie.blogspot.com/2013/01/omelet-vs-quiche-vs-frittata.html?m=1

Tonight's Dinner: Cheesy chicken casserole with wild rice, onions, broccoli, carrots and celery.
Comments: I let her snack on some of the chicken and cheese while I was cooking, so she didn't eat as much of the casserole. Hopefully she'll eat more of it tomorrow!

Tonight's Dinner: white fish (hake) with lemon and dill, roasted mushrooms, carrots, pearl onions and green beans with butter, cheese and blueberries.
Comments: LO had 3 shots today :'( !!! and didn't want to eat her fish, so I gave her ketchup for it. She scooped up/ate the ketchup with her fork, and ate everything but the fish (which she usually loves) with her fork, so I'm counting tonight as a win. Poor bubba, 3 nasty old shots
p.s. She also ate a whole Trader Joe's Mango Greek Yogurt after dinner.

Tonight's Dinner: Ketchup.
Comments: Dinner was really purple cabbage salad, cannelloni beans, and mixed steamed veggies... but he wasn't having it. So my husband coated it in ketchup, which he selectively licked off of everything. Sigh. We topped it off with applesauce later on since we couldn't exactly let him starve.

@lemondrop: bahahaha. funny story. My nephews LOVE ketchup; they literally put it on everything. The time before last when they stayed with us they went home and starting putting ketchup on their rice. My SIL called them out on it and they said "it's OK, Uncle J does it too". hahahaha DH does NOT put ketchup on his rice!

Last night's dinner: We all have dinner together so she eats what we eat. We had leftover bowtie pasta w/ground turkey & broccoli. I offered a couple of slices of plum but she just sucked on them and organized them on her tray.
Tonight we are having black bean tacos.
