Favorite Finger Food Recipes

You know, beyond fruits, veggies & "they eat what I eat"  - what else are you serving LO?

We made whole wheat veggie pancakes - I based it off the recipe on teenytinyfoodie (puree pancakes) but made a ton of modifications (no sugar, salt, etc) & he loved them! I'm searching for new recipes & would love to know what you all are cooking up

We used to offer a lot of grated cheese for DD when feeling lazy. It was easier to clean up than most alternatives.

I also happen to love oven roasted veggies. Glad to have an excuse to make them a lot more frequently starting next month. Though...obviously not much of a recipe.

You guessed it...we do BLW bc we're too busy and/or lazy to do otherwise

Mash up peanut butter & banana together and spread on waffles... delicious!

www.juliegoodwin.com.au/recipe-cheesy-muffins.html veggie cheese muffins! DD LOVES them. They freeze great I make them with one package frozen spinach, thawed, pulsed in a food processor to chop it up in a bit, plus one onion chopped pretty fine in a food processor

Meatballs also make a great food for my BLWer... especially when she was littler, interested mostly in meat, and would usually nap through normal lunch time and only needed a little bit of food (1 or 2 meatballs). You can freeze them in a ziploc bag, if you don't put sauce on them they don't get frozen together so you can just pull out a couple to thaw

When LO was first starting out I made these Oatmeal Fingers

For the most part that is he only thing I made specifically for him.

Those muffins look so good! Thanks!! 

I plan on letting him eat whatever we eat, but it's nice to also have some easy homemade snacks / meals to just pull out & heat up for him too. Especially with his early bedtime, he doesn't get dinner with us.

When he wasn't eating with us I would always set aside food from the night before's dinner for him to eat. Other things I liked to have on hand were hummus, fruits, veggies, roasted turkey or chicken, and eggs. My LO is dairy free, but you could also have plain Greek yogurt and cheeses for them to eat.

I just made some fish cakes that DD loved. Salmon, egg, a little mayo, some spices and enough breadcrumbs to hold it all together. Make into patties then bake. For the spices I used a mix of ones that I commonly use, to help her gets used to the flavors that we often work with.

And banana oatmeal cookies that are just mashed up banana, oats and cinnamon baked until done (15-20 min). I discovered the "recipe" when I was on the GD diet.

BM scrambled eggs are a winner here. As are french toast bites (cubes of chewy bread instead of whole slices), and pancakes.

I made sweet potato kale balls ...and froze a bunch so if I'm in a pinch I am able to toss in the oven and its ready in a few mins.

2 ingredient pancakes: 1 ripe banana, 1 egg. Mash the banana, beat in the egg, cook as you would pancakes, flipping them over when the top starts to bubble. It probably also works with things like sweet potatoes, squash, etc
