What are some easy but nutritious meals I can offer my 17 month old??

Question

I'm a first time young mother and I'm often busy so cooking is something that I particularly don’t have time to do or really know how to do very well. So what are some things I can give my 17 month old that’s easy to make and nutritious at them same time? Also any ideas on what I should offer her at breakfast that she can feed herself while Im get ready for work BUT at the same time healthy?? Please any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Answer 1

For breakfast give her a bowl of dry cereal she can eat. Make sure she has a sippy cup or something nearby to wash it down though.
Easy snacks are applesauce, pudding, or yogurt.
Easy meals could be made with instant mashed potatoes, frozen veggies, mac and cheese, spaghetti, or soup and sandwich.

Well most kids love pasta . Green Giant makes pasta meals that come in a bag in the frozen section . Kinda like chicken Viola but better . It has all your veggies your meat and your pasta cooks in 15 minutes . My kids love it . Another one kids love is the chicken and broccoli pot pies or just chicken pot pies . My kids love broccoli and cauliflower they think they are little trees . also chef salads . Kids usually love salads and ranch dressing .Another one is mashed potatoes and corn so make something with this . Introduce stuff to your kids and they are more acceptable to eating off of your plate . Take advantage of this to introduce them to new foods . Breakfast foods . they make frozen pancakes , eggs are always good instant flavored oatmeal . Kids love yogurt . Fruit salad . There are endless possibilities just have to make them creative or kid friendly .

My daughters fav breakfast at this age was dry cheerio's, an apple (chopped into small cubes so they aren't a choking hazard) and her sippy cup of milk. Otherwise, try scrambled eggs with some wheat toast. That always went over well. :)

Answer 4

Scrambed egg, fruit (sliced properly), veggies cut up, whole wheat ravioli, cut up turkey/chicken, and if you're in a bind the Gerber Graduates make healthy food

whatever you eat. children of that age are able to eat ALMOST anything that we do. now, the question is... are you eating healthy enough that your child can eat with you?
