Finger food dinners

My DS has always loved corn fritters, penne pasta in a tomato based sauce, egg, chicken, fish, and roast veges.

havent tried corn fritters- thats on the todo list
He wont eat anything tomato based yet so that puts spag bol etc out, and he wont eat pasta!!!
roast veg is pretty hit and miss and as bor broccoli, well lets just say I wish I had had the video rolling for that face! and now he wont touch it.
keep the ideas coming .......................

Oh I wish my wee man would make dinner time as easy as baked beans and yoguurt!!!

Do you eat dinner with him? Or perhaps just make yourself a much smaller serving of what he's having to eat at the same time? If he's really interested in you eating as well it might help. My DD tends to eat much better if we're all sitting down to dinner together. Just a thought

I make a self crusting every couple of weeks and Callum eats it (in small squares) non stop for about 3 days You can put so many different veges in quiche!!

Corn on the cob is a hug hit with C, we actually have to hide it till after tea otherwise he won't eat anything else!! Also he will happily pick up peas one at a time and broccoli if it's small enough.

We eat a lot of stiry fries with rice, Callum gets a plate full with everything cut up a bit smaller so he can help himself.

Scrambled egg and toast - I overcook the egg slightly so he can pick it up with his fingers if he wants as he's only just getting the hang of a fork.

Jude also eats everything that we do. We also find he eats better when we all sit down and eat together as a family. He loves it - warbles away as if he is making table talk, laughing and stuffing food in his face as he goes.

My ideas are homemade pizza with veges on it (you don't have to have tomato sauce on it if you don't want to - as well as tomato based pizza sauce we also try cranberry sauce which is great with chicken, or basil and corriander paste). Cruskit with hummus (great for protein). Rice cakes with cream cheese. (Those two are usually morning or afternoon tea snacks though). Jude also looooves homemade chunky soups with bread to soak it up. Kumara, pumpkin and potato mash (you should see the fistfuls that go into his mouth!) Oh another thing is creamy mushrooms (white sauce and mushrooms) on toast.

Yum - my mouth is watering thinking of all this food.
