Pesto gnocchi and mixed veg
I use Aldi gnocchi. We tend to have a pack in the cupboard just incase and its so quick and easy to prepare. I boil the gnocchi and frozen mixed veg in one pan to save washing up and then just stir through some pesto! Yum!
Prawn and avocado salad
Slices of avocado, ready to eat prawns mixed with a little tomato ketchup and mayonnaise and served with salad.
Scrambled egg on toast
Self explanatory. Can’t beat egg on toast or beans on toast… Or anything on toast!
Sweet potato wedges, hard boiled egg and mixed veg
Peel and chop the sweet potato, cover with a little organic sunflower oil and stick in the oven for 30 mins. No fuss, healthy meal. We love frozen mixed vegetables and always have them in the freezer for lazy meals like this.
Humous on toast
Served with a side salad which is usually ignored! Always worth a try though!
Fish finger, mash and mixed vegetables
Freezer food at it’s best. You can even get frozen mashed potato that just needs heating through for when you are in a real hurry or just feeling a bit lazy!
Omlette
Quick, easy and healthy. Also great for hiding whatever veggies you have lying around in before giving it to a fussy veg refuser!
Beans and cheese on toast
Classic comfort food! Harry loves beans on toast!
Pasta and mixed vegetables in cream cheese
As you can probably tell by now, we love frozen mixed vegetables for sour of the moment, quick meals. We boil the pasta, add the vegetables when there is 5 minutes to go and then drain and stir through some cream cheese. Easy!
Jamie Oliver’s Incredible Curried Chickpeas, natural yogurt and salad
We love these microwaveable pouches. They are so quick to just pop in the microwave and are really tasty! Harry likes spicy food but a bit of natural yogurt is perfect to cool it down if your little one doesn’t like spice.
Jacket potato, cheese and beans
Easy to pop in the oven in the morning, leave to cook and have ready for lunch!
Crumpets, cheese and fruit
Harry loves this for a light tea.
Hi!
Just want to say I love this site and the Facebook page, it’s been so great for ideas!
My favourite meals (or rather my little boys favourite meals – he’s almost nine months):
Pizza pinwheels
Chicken strips or fish fingers with carrot sticks, sweet potato, corn cob, peas, runner beans and broccoli
Turkey mince bol and spag bol
Fruity curry made with mild curry powder, dried apricots, mango chutney, lentils and chicken
My little boy loves his veg as finger foods so he has that most nights and opts for these first before meat!
Thank you for this site, it’s given me some fresh ideas!.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I’ve never made spaghetti bolognese with turkey mince before so will have to give that one a go!
Thanks for sharing these, you’re right- fb is full of impressive meals that look like they will take ages to cook, it’s great to have some ideas that are quick and easy. And these look really healthy and tasty too!
Thanks lovely,
Let us know which you try and what you think!
I’m all about minimal effort meals!!
This page is a godsend! I used to struggle with healthy meal ideas and found the whole thought of weaning really stressful but this has helped loads!! My one year old has loved everything so far, particularly the sweetcorn fritters and lentil nuggets. Thank you
