It is just one thing - but I have given DS dates before - I just cut them up into manageable chunks.  TBH he's not terribly keen on them though!

steph, so are there bits of date in the date and apple bar?  does your DS like raisins? 

Today:
B: milk, bread with pb +honey
S: fruit at daycare
L:  bread (not sure what with)
S: yoghurt
S: breadsticks (apparently a lot and he ate them clean!! )
D: pumpkin, green beans, chicken, potatoes, spinach, carrots, beef, chicken and 2 bananas
BT: milk

S: yogurt melts
D: Most of a turkey patty (with zucchini), few sweet potato "fries", fair portion of the cowboy spaghetti we were eating
S: half a toasted whole wheat mini bagel with cream cheese

Karen, what are yoghurt melts?  what time do you do D and the last S?  I'm hoping to break off the BT bottle because DS associates sleep with his bottle still!   Thanks

Nellie, also can you tell me what are your dinner and supper times pls?

[Mom to M&M]

Cowboy spaghetti is a Rachel Ray recipe linked here - I basically make it as is but i omit the bacon (we don't eat it) and use low sodium tomato sauce, etc. Our whole family LOVES it (though DH and I add extra spice/hot sauce). http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/cowboy-spaghetti-recipe/index.html

Yogurt melts are basically yogurt and fruit in a little dissolvable pellet type shape. I think Gerber makes them though we buy the Happy Baby brand. We don't always do a last snack - usually only on nights he "asks" for one or on nights I'm giving her a bath before DH is home (that way he'll sit in the stroller and eat/watch her take her bath).

Today was:

B: baby oatmeal with mixed berries, few cheerios, few bites french toast casserole
L: broccoli potato pancake, blueberries x15, two arrowroot cookies
S: yogurt melts and cheerios
D: barley with zucchini, few bites chicken/apple "sausage", few bites leftover cowboy spaghetti, two bites big sisters cheese/broccoli ravioli

Mumofalice - how do you make that pasta above? Sounds good!

It is good  I found the recipe a few weeks ago when looking for a way to use up a whole cauliflower (looking a bit sad in our veg-box) without reverting to soup - again!! I love soup, don't get me wrong, but when I need to use up veg that's always my back up plan. This dish has now become a staple in our house if a cauliflower arrives - because it's simple, tasty and quick 

The recipe itself doesn't include the olives or cheese - I just threw them in as we're all addicted to both these ingredients - especially my DD! Have also throw in sun-dried tomatoes and bits of crumbled blue cheese . . .

Here's the 'basic' recipe for you:

penne with cauliflower, garlic & anchovies (serves 4)

1 cauliflower, divided into florets
350g penne, cooked until al dente
4 tbsps olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
5 anchovy fillets
a pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tbsps chopped parsley
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Allowing anchovies to ‘melt’ into olive oil results in a very mellow flavour, quite different to the overwhelming anchovy experience on pizzas!

Cook the cauliflower in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a separate pan, add the garlic and cook until softened but not browned. Remove from heat.
Add the anchovies and stir and mash them into the oil until dissolved.
Add the cauliflower and cayenne. Mix well to coat the cauliflower in anchovy oil and return to the heat. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, then mash the cauliflower with a fork.
Drain the pasta and mix with the cauliflower. Season to taste and sprinkle over the chopped parsley.
