Breakfast: the pumpkin pancakes and oatmeal are freezer friendly, quick and easy, and my daughter loves them. plus that site has a lot of good meal ideas.
- infant cereal and a pumpkin pancake
- 1 whole wheat peanut butter toast and 1/2 banana
- her favorite: 1 pumpkin pancake with a drop of maple syrup and 1/2 scrambled egg with American cheese
- 2 cubes of fruit oatmeal (I used pear, apple, and bananas)
- yogurt and kiwi/banana puree
- bowl of whole wheat cheerios (sometimes I add slices of banana)
- French toast with a drop of maple syrup
- I tried this baked fruit oatmeal, which is a great way to get in the whole grain and fruit, and the whole family can eat it, but I realized I HATE oatmeal. no matter what way I cook it, it's so gross to me. but Lamora liked it so if you like oatmeal, definitely try that one. I had a bag of frozen mixed berries that I used but I bet fresh fruit would be great.
- Breakfast burrito-whole wheat wrap with scrambled egg black beans fried up pieces of ham and Turkey deli meat and a little bit of cheese.
- i finally got a waffle maker, so whole wheat waffles are now on the list!
- peanut butter toast

- chicken, cheese, and broccoli quesadilla with a side of yogurt
- chicken, cheese, black beans, and corn quesadilla
- my version of a healthy pasta salad: whole wheat penne pasta, diced cheese, broccoli, chicken, and diced carrots with a drop of Italian dressing
- spaghetti with vege packed meatballs and a clementine orange
- cheesy crockpot chicken with mixed veges and sweet potatoes
- whole wheat tuna wrap(tuna salad rolled up in a tortilla wrap)(you could add spinach, substitute greek yogurt for mayo, use whatever you have at the time)
- whole wheat peanut butter and jelly sandwich with blueberries.
- 1/2 grilled cheese and turkey sandwich, black beans and green beans, clementine pieces

| This was an example of her lunch the other day. hamburger with gravy, brown rice, sweet potato, and carrots. I got the fruit out of the freezer for her snack later that day. she only likes the blueberries so I ate the peaches and strawberries. |
 |
| grilled sloppy joes with spinach, diced tomatoes, diced strawberries, and sliced string cheese |
 |
| It's hard to see, but she ate the string cheese first, then the sandwich. she doesn't like tomatoes but I still try giving them to her and it depends how ripe and juicy the strawberries are for her to like them. |
Snack:
- puffs
- crackers and cheese

- brown rice baked in some chicken broth, turkey sausage, corn, diced tomatoes, with sprinkled cheese( after it was all cooked i put it in a pan in the oven to warm up the corn and melt the cheese), a mix of peas and corn, and half a piece of bread
- roast with a touch of bbq sauce, and fresh cauliflower baked in the oven
She boiled the whole bag of chicken, made a bag of chicken rice, a bag of brussel sprouts sauteed in onions, made a squash with butter and brown sugar, a couple diced sweet potatoes, and pureed an avocado. I also had a can of black beans and corn in the fridge from the day before. after everything was cooked we cut up all the chicken. Then we started filling each bowl with a little bit of everything. Each container had something different in it. examples of the variations:
chicken, brussel sprouts, squash
chicken and rice, black beans and corn, sweet potatoes
chicken mixed with avocado, sweet potatoes, black bean and corn.
and so on, and so on.
we eventually ran out of containers and had to put the leftover chicken and black beans in.
I put all these in the freezer and now I have go to meals when I didn't have anything planned for her.
Its awesome, simple and easy.
