FINGER FOOD LUNCH/DINNER IDEAS
Show your support
Lunches: Quesadillas with beans grilled turkey sandwich Taquitos Dinners: Chipotle bowls Burgers We also just got the Banza protein pasta, my son is not a big fan of any meats really so hoping that with spaghetti or Alfredo will be good!
He also has like 3 teeth coming in at once so he’s not liking to eat actual foods. Our safety’s are yogurt smoothies, eggs, crackers and cheese, and strawberries.
We do mini charcuterie boards for him a lot. Cheese cubes, yogurt melts, fruit, and we flatten out sandwich bread and make pb&j roll ups he LOVES those. Chicken nuggets. Mac and cheese is pretty popular here. Egg bites sometimes for lunch if he didn’t eat them for breakfast. Meatballs cut up. My son also has a LOT of teeth so he will eat pretty much anything.
i run out of ideas too but so far i alternate between these: breakfast eggs and sausage or small squares of french toast w/ dash of maple syrup yogurt w/ blueberries or raspberries lunch mac and cheez toast with pb string cheese dino nuggets strawberries dinner pasta chicken protein bowl quesadillas or whatever we have my lo loves fruits so i always include w/ meal
We just do our food but it becomes "finger" when he eats it 😹 Pasta, bulgogi, soups, tacos, vegetable fritters whatever we eat he just gets a smaller portion and I think it has helped a lot with pickiness
We always have the same thing for breakfast- scrambled eggs, with ketchup to dip in of course. Fried Bologna (honestly started doing this to try something different it just started to be a routine) lol Avocado toast- some days she eats all her eggs some days she eats her toast or just her bologna. Maybe I’m giving too many options
Girl, same here. My mom mostly watches her. She makes her crackers with peanut butter. But she will mostly eat mac n cheese like she’s starving. We have noticed she will love eating her baby food more when a tooth is coming in. But I would rather her eat baby food than Mac n cheese all day. I have started adding a small amount of lemon, or lime. Mint or basil to her water. Because she sees us drinking it and maybe she feels fancy. I started but those organic baby granola bars. That’s probably no help. But curious what other people say too 🫣
