Quesadillas – These are a fixture in our home for lunches and dinners. The girls love basic cheese quesadillas, but you can certainly power them up with proteins like chicken and beans. I often shred carrots on top of the cheese before I cook them to get some veggies in each bite. Did you know you can make sweet potato and black bean quesadillas? Yum! Quesadillas can be cut into thin slivers for younger toddlers. I have even diced them into bite-sized pieces to serve those who are lacking teeth.

Grilled Cheese Sandwiches – This is another favorite lunch option for us. Grilled cheese offers another chance to get some veggies in – try adding diced tomatoes on the inside or stacking a few sliced tomatoes on top and securing with a toothpick (obviously not intended for younger toddlers).

Peanut Noodles – Each of my peanut-butter-loving children love these noodles! They are fun and messy and you can add as many different vegetables as you have on hand. When I make these for dinner, I make a double batch so that we’ll have some for lunch the next day. They are very tasty served cold!

Pasta – The combination possibilities for pasta meals are vast! Whole wheat pasta spirals can be tossed with butter and diced zucchini. Throw some beans or sauteed tofu into a bowl of ravioli . Mix peas into your mac ‘n cheese. Variations on the pasta theme rarely disappoint.

Pitas and Tortillas – Sometimes a simple departure from the traditional is enough to entice a hesitant eater. Pita bread and tortillas can be used for roll-ups or pocket-type sandwiches filled with proteins and veggies. (Once again, just slice down to a manageable size for younger toddlers.)

11 months 1 week and all is good

Olivia is doing great. Weight is climbing the growth charts and lab tests indicate no signs of anemia. She will be 1 soon so I plan to trial cows milk protein as most infants with non-IgE cows milk allergy out grow their allergy by age 1-3.
I discovered a new resource for food allergies, please see attached link.
