B sultana bran puffs, oatbix cereal with banana, few bites of fruit muffin, prune juice
S 1/2 vegemite sw,some linseed apple muffin ref grapes, water
L avocado, double cheese and tomato melts x 2, 1 x squeezie strawberry yoghurt
S 1/2 vegemite sw, banana, strawberry, honey protien smootie with yoghurt and soymilk
D bolognaise sauce with mashed carrot and pumkin topped with cheese, spaghetti noodles, water, prune juice

hey guys I added finely grated carrot to the bolognaise sauce and you couldn't see it or taste it! I thought I'd mention it if anyone wanted to give it a try? B is fine with orange coloured vegies, but I just wanted to give it a try. A mum at playgroup suggested it... She's a mum of 3 soon to be 4!

That's great about the carrot Alice. I sometimes put veggies like peppers in the food processor so they are cut up so small that they just hide in the sauce of things like casseroles or bolognese. I might rty the carrot though as it is a veggie I wouldn't normally add to that dish. C eats carrots OK though.

We went to an Indian wedding yesterday so Cadan had a very interesting day tasting lots of new foods. I'm not sure what it was all called so it might be a bit vague.
Yesterday:
B: Multigrain banana porridge (@ home)
2nd B: Onion baaji, vegetable samosa, Indian milk/sugar sweets, few sips of tea (@ gurdwara 10am!)
L: Masala fish, jeera chicken, tofu, yogurt
D: Chollay potato, lamb rogan josh, rice with cucumber yogurt, tandoori naan, tomato and more tofu (was spicy so I cut the outside off). Dessert: Indian sweet flavour ice cream.
It was all so lovely and he coped really well with the spices. I eat mildly spicy foods sometimes so he probably gotthe taste through my BM. I did try to give him stuff without much sauce/spicy coating on though. I had taken a few packs of toddler foods in case he couldn't eat what was served but he did great.

Rotini is basically just fusili - the curly pasta!

L: Tropical fruit porridge
D: Crusty garlic chicken, creamy mash potato, sweetcorn

Ali, are you sure it was tofu? Indian cheese (paneer) looks a lot like tofu and has similar texture. Just asking bc tofu is pretty rarely used in Indian cuisine, that could be why Caden liked it so much Glad you both enjoyed it so much! Sounds like quite the spread they had there. You will have to post the pictures on the other thread.

Ok, DS's appetite is finally coming back so I will post what we had today. 

B- toddler cereal mixed with apples/pears and fermented milk
S- Cheese
L- Butter beans in tomato sauce
S- salami, zucchini pancake (half)
D- Lamb stew with carrots and chickpeas (ate a good sized serving, I was pretty impressed)

Oh yes you are right it was Paneer! It said so on the menu. I just thought that must be the word for tofu as it tasted like that. That's a shame cheese really isn't as healthy as tofu.
Pics are up!
