For the first time ever, Abby's dinner was entirely self serve. I love making her food and for so long she has eaten really well, but lately she wants more of her real food pieces and less of her pureed food. So, I think we are beginning to transition. 
For dinner this time, we fed her steamed and chopped carrots and shredded chicken. I bought a pouch of the grilled fully cooked chicken breasts to try out. It worked well and will be great for packing her lunch each day.
She also fed herself bananas and bread. 
With all four on her plate, her preference was 1)bread 2)banana 3) chicken 4) carrots. She did eat just about everything when it was all said and done.

I welcome more suggestions- what are easy, healthy self-serve foods I can pack for Abby's lunch. I would prefer to be able to make a week's worth of food on Sunday or at least pack her lunch up the night before.
peas - the girls first self-feed food was thos frozen pkgs of veggies - carrots, corn, peas and lima beans.

Cora also loves the frozen veggies
sticky rice, scrambled eggs (although I think she'll have to wait another month on those), cooked ground beef (like taco meat), peas, mum mums, cheerios, cut up cooked sweet potatoes...kristi and melissa covered some good ones there too! A lot of times I would pack small chunks of whatever we were taking for lunch or of dinner. It's a good way to get your child to start eating the same things you eat too!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked the pizza dip! It's a fav around here too!
