I need to come up with new ideas for finger foods to send for lunch with E, since she’s really not into eating purees anymore unless it’s mostly sweet, and I’m trying to limit how much fruit/sugar she gets. Right now I send 2 4oz containers for each meal, and that seems to work well. I'm thinking about getting some bento boxes or something similar, although it's easiest if it fits in her row on the refrigerator shelf, which is about the size of a baby bottle. I prefer to send things that she can eat with her fingers without making a huge mess, so something like spaghetti is not ideal.
For breakfast she gets fruit and oatmeal, although I’m going to replace the oatmeal with some sort of low sugar muffin or pancake, I think. Occasionally at home I'll scramble an egg for her.
For lunch, she gets cheese, raisins, fruit, and puree (usually squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, or combinations with those, because she likes them best and is more likely to actually eat them). Today I sent diced steamed carrots and beets to see if she’d eat that instead of the puree. Any other suggestions? I need stuff that can be prepared without too much effort, and in advance, preferably allowing me to make at least 3 days at a time to keep in the fridge or freezer. So maybe I could do one with cheese and maybe add in some sliced lunch meat, and another with veggies?
For dinner at home, she gets steamed veggies, usually some sort of protein and occasionally grain (quesadilla, meat, pasta, cheese, omelet, Greek yogurt), and then fruit when she’s done with that. I don’t measure amounts for dinner, just put stuff on her tray until she stop eating.
