Question: Are these the same recipes as the ones in you PDF (50 Toddler meals) ?

If not, do you have a printable version of this available?

TIA!!

Thank you so much for giving me ideas. My twins just started eating table foods very recently and I was really struggling to figure out ideas. They are 15 months old and are already exhibiting some pickiness so for me just trying different foods to see what they like and what they don’t is a plus. So far my boys love fruit so much they’d probably eat only fruit at every meal. This gives me some options.

I have to agree with the other person. I was enjoying reading through the post and comments until I read your comment. You wouldn’t say that to her face. Why be so mean to someone who is trying to be so helpful? If you don’t agree, move on and keep searching for something that meets your needs. I found this post very helpful. I appreciate the time and effort it took put this post together. Just imagine all the pictures she had to remember to take.

Lindsay, excellent work here – so many helpful ideas in one post! Hadn’t even considered pulled pork, and it is easy to make in the background overnight.

Tara – it’s a great big world out there with all sorts of people – single parents working multiple jobs, parents with disabilities, etc. Not everyone can avoid “processed” foods all the time. Take that negative energy and convert it into something helpful, you’re adding nothing to the conversation as is.

Ugh, why are you so negative? I was having a good time looking at these samples and reading the comments until yours popped it. I can feel your evil through the text. Please leave this nice lady alone, who put her time into sharing easy meals a toddler can try. Some kids are more picky than others. I make homemade pasta for my baby and she will eat risotto, but she’ll squirm at strawberries and some others foods. It’s different for every kid, take what works, leave we what doesn’t.

Thanks for your concern. This is just a sampling of meals. My kids eat plenty of rainbow colored foods throughout the day. I believe sausages are fine for an occasional food. I also don’t believe there’s any reason to separate sweet and savory foods. They can be served at the same time at the same meal. Compartment plates are a choice. You don’t have to use them for your family. Glad to hear your toddler is eating so well! As far as separate meals, i’ve written several posts about how I used food prep to make it easy to throw together quick meals during the week and in our house, we don’t all eat the same thing at each meal. It works for us, but I never said anyone else needed to do it the same way.

For one thing they are mostly beige, when it is well known that eating the rainbow is not only nutritionally superior but more stimulating to the senses and salivary glands. There are lots of processed foods in these descriptions including sausages which aren’t considered healthy by anyone. I’m confused that as a nutritionist you would endorse this approach. I have so many questions: Why are the sweet portions served up with the savoury? And why in these compartment plates? Is that how your adult family members eat as well?

My toddler is two and a half and eats everything we eat – from fresh pasta with homemade spinach sauce and asparagus to spaghetti with homemade meatballs, baked salmon and potatoes to mushroom risotto and Lo Mein.

Why are you preparing two separate meals for the adults and children in the home?
