DD has chosen, by herself, to go along the BLS road (she's 13 months, but is behind in her eating and developmentally).
I'm looking for snack food ideas, this afternoon she's having scrambled eggs as I just don't know what to give her.
I'm sick of just giving her toast, and so is she.
I'm looking for DEAD EASY recipes and ideas.
I'm not worried about mess, I used to be but am over it. She's making one hell of a mess with her scrambled eggs.
Thanks, ladies.
- yoghurt
- mini muffins - sweet or savoury. someone posted a recipe on here ages ago for a recipe that is simply creamed corn, flour & cheese & you use the corn can to measure the flour & cheese. i often add grated vegies to it as well. DS absolutely loves them & they're nice warm or cold. they freeze well & they're a great size to pop in a snack box if you're going out. it's also nice not to have to measure all different ingredients etc. plus you can make any sort of muffins as healthy as you want.
- home made pizza - using pita bread & some ham, cheese & tomato. quick & easy
- mini quiche - there are some nice, easy, quick recipes around
- crackers/vegie sticks & dip
- fresh fruit
- stewed fruit
- plate of salad & cheese
- cheese & biscuits
Being a very non-cook person lol I keep it simple.
Big hits in this family are boiled pumpkin, sweet pototo and carrots cut into sticks, hash browns, mashed up cantelope, watermelon, bubble and squek, weet bix. Homemeda lentil burger were a massive hit as they are nice and soft. Custard, fruit salad.
My DD is unusually happy with eating veggies and prefers them over everything else, and she loves her fruit. She went through a stage of not eating so we had to come up with things that we could just leave her with rather than us sit and watch her. So we would do up platters with alittle bit of this and alittle bit of that IYKWIM.

Quick and Easy snacks in our house are the following
Cruskits - either plain or with some butter/vegemite
Fruit Platters - a colourful mix is usually a hit
Mixed platters - eg half a sandwich, some cheese cut into sticks, fruit bars
Pasta - DS LOVES spaghetti (hot or cold) hahahaha
hard boiled egg
cooked noodles
meatballs a bit bigger (but not rissole sized) so they have to 'bite' and can't shove it in all as once IYKWIM?
I often make the muffins Sloane posted about and add ham or herbs or grated vegies
cheese cut into sticks
- Cheese Sticks
- Dried Cereals like Nutri Grain, Cheerios or Sultana Bran
- Fruit platters
- Cheese and Biscuits
- Sultana's or dried fruit of any kind
- Dried Biscuits such as cruskits,savoys, ritz, ryvita with vegemite or whatever topping/spread she likes
- Rice cakes
- Home made mini cupcakes..sweet or savoury
- My kids like dried pasta..so spirals or whatever not cooked and also cold pasta
- Toasted sandwhiches or cheese and tomato grilled on toast, you could also use crumpets or muffins
- spaghetti or baked beans on toast or even cold straight out of the tin. Nai makes her own baked beans, not sure how though :lol:
- toad or frog in a hole
- French toast
- Cold meats such as salami
- Rice Wheels
- Cherry Tomatoes
My DD goes nuts over:
yoghurt
custard (I make it from custard powder and use half the sugar - you could use none, but we're norty here!)
1/2 cup of peas
hommus, either off a spoon or licked off a cracker
rice cakes with cream cheese and chutney
watermelon
pineapple
halved cherry tomatoes
grapes
dried apricots
cubes of roasted sweet potato or pumpkin

rice cookies / malt-o-milks
leftovers - rice / couscous
polenta that's been pressed and grilled with some parmasen and some leftover spag sause
ham / turkey / chicken chunks
leftover snags
Actually, I just keep most leftovers and reheat them the next day for Will.
I also get him chicken kebabs and cook them for him, but pull them off the stick :)
Cheerios / saveloys / "little boys" / ****tail franks (skinless)
Toast fingers with vegemite & butter
