Breakfast:
Scrambled eggs w/ or without cheese
fruits
toast or mini pancakes(on special days)
oatmeal with granola and hot fruit, he loves this
sausage or bacon
Lunch
Creamy Peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches on whole wheat
Meat and Cheese sandwich
Advocados
Goldfish
ravioli's
Cheese quesadilla
Mixed Veggies
Creamed Corn
Dinner
Basically whatever I cook, as long as it is not spicy
Chicken
Tender Beef
Ham
Any cooked veggies
potatoes(cooked, mashed)
rice
pasta(you can sneak veggies in here)
Anything he can "dip"
Also here's some snacks
Drinkable yogurt
pita bread and hummus
graham crackers
frozen yogurt
He can't quite chew up raw veggies yet

This is when they begin to develop there taste buds, so I feed my daughter anything that I am cooking that day. It makes my life a lot easier and if there is something that she doesn't like, I won't make it for a while. Althought, when I take her over to my mother's she will eat foods that I just refuse to make at home, because I don't like it. My daughter has a very healthy appitie and will eat just about anything. But her favorites are carrots, potatos, broccoli, tomatos and anything veggie that can be put in a salad.

My daughter is almost 2. She likes:
vegetarian sushi (avocado rolls, cucumber rolls, inari, etc.)
kale, mustard greens, spinach -- any cooked greens, really; she's not a big fan of lettuce yet
black bean and quinoa salad with chipotle peppers
Indian food, mild to medium spicy
scrambled eggs with nutritional yeast
wild Alaskan salmon
just about any raw veggie
she LOVES fruit, especially bananas and Japanese pears
Annie's organic mac and cheese with peas
bread dipped in olive oil or hummus
honey and almond butter sandwiches
pasta with sauce
cheese (cheddar, gouda, swiss, monterey, brie, etc.)
ice cream
oatmeal with apples and walnuts or fruit and cream
smoothies (coconut milk, bananas, and almond butter makes a great healthy treat)

Keep it simple, cereal for breakfast, fruit for morning tea, sandwich with nice filling for lunch, 1 treat for afternoon and dinner should incorporate vegies and protien (fish chicken or meat). Kids love other stuff like yoghurt, dried fruit, chunks of cheese. Make sure they get more water than juice also.

The same thing you would eat provided it's healthy.
