I'm limited to finger food and food he can manage with his gums and very few teeth. I also try to give him a wide variety of food, flavour and texture as his palette develops. I'll share a few of his lunch boxes along the way in the hope it may inspire other tired mums who need to get a lunch packed before they can retire for the evening.
I do find it easier to prepare his lunch the night before. It gives me time to cook up things and clear up the dishes if there are any. I also try to incorporate left overs from his dinner into lunch the next day so we don't waste too much food.
So here's one from the other day:
In case you can't see too clearly:
Peanut butter & Jam sammy sushi. I got a good tutorial here
Egg Frittata: These take only 10 mins to make and I'll share the recipe on another post.
Pasta: From his dinner that night.
CousCous balls - from dinner also.
Yoghurt as an after lunch treat later in the day.
Kiwifruit - I just peel and slice into wedges for him.
He loves all of the options and always empties his lunch box. Some on the floor, but most in his belly...
