Feeding

Hi I have a 15 month old and I would like to start feeding him more healthy meals. Any healthier meal ideas or any where I can look for good recipes while also trying to stay on the cheaper side.

I make my baby a variety of stuff. Breakfast: egg soufflés, carrot muffins, yogurt with chia seeds, overnight oats, oatmeal cookies Lunch: veggie chicken fingers, turkey avocado rolls, quesadillas, broccoli bites (store bought) usually with sides like avocado, cottage cheese, fruit Dinner: usually a variation of what my husband and I eat but I always make sure she at least has a protein and a veggie. If you want more specifics on how to make some of these let me know!

I do something similar to this as well! I also make protein waffles or pancakes to keep in the freezer for a quick and more healthy breakfast.

Yes I freeze most of this stuff!^^

Pork in the slow cooker goes a looong way! You can freeze in smaller containers but for $8 you get lots of protein for many many meals for them and it’s not fried or heavy. Just throw the pork in the slow cooker with salt and pepper and a bit of water and all set. Then roasted or boiled veggies are also cheap and healthy. If your little one doesn’t eat them plain you can process it in a food processor with an egg, chia seeds, oats, whatever you like and make little veggie nuggets.

Fiber Crackers: 1 cup processed oats 1 very ripe banana 1 Spoon peanut butter 2T chia seeds 2T flax seeds Vanilla Roll between parchment paper and bake at 375 for 15 mins. Use a pizza cutter to cut into squares. These have been great to keep with me for little snacks when she first wakes up or when we are out and about. What ever crumbs are left in the bag when the crackers are done I put on top of yogurt. None of the measurements have to be that exact.

Yummytoddlerfood.com has a lot of easy and approachable ideas.
