Recipe: Monday meal ideas – toddler friendly

October 12, 2015 by Shari

The other day, I was up in Sydney talking to one of my good friends who also has two little ones {and is pregnant with her third}. She mentioned that she needed some dinner inspiration for meals that were toddler friendly and didn’t require too much technical skill in the kitchen – so here they are {all in one post and easy for you to look back on when you have Mummy brain}. 

These are meals that appeal to little ones as they can eat them themselves {often with their hands if they don’t like using cutlery}. You can hide a few veggies within these meals and have a salad on the side – this means that even if they avoid the tomato or the cucumber in the salad, then they will have eaten some form of veggie in their main meal.

I know that the chicken pie might not get as many runs in your households now that the weather is warming up – but I posted it on Facebook earlier in the year and it was a hit with fussy eaters {so I am just putting it out there as an option}. Hopefully, these meals will appeal to your little ones and I’ll try and tease out a few more toddler friendly dinners from my blog for you next week.

What are some of your go to meals for feeding fussy toddlers? What meals are great for hiding veggies in? If you whip up one of my recipes, I would love to see it – you can use the hashtag #goodfoodweek.

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
