Following on from the success of my previous “7 Days of Lunches Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3” I give you – “7 Days of Lunches Part 4”!!. It’s been the summer holidays for the last 6 weeks so I have had The Boy at home a lot with me at lunchtime so what I am showing you are meals I have given both of the kids for half of the week and just Little Lady the other half (when The Boy has been at camp running around like a lunatic and eating far too much chocolate!). Also Little Lady has been teething so I have been giving her quite a lot of soft food as she really isn’t that interested in eating. But I realised these softer, mushier meals are prefect for those babies who are early on in the weaning process so I hope you find them interesting and useful for your very little ones.

Mashed Sweet Potato with Cheese, Tuna, Peas and Sweetcorn.

This is one of Little Lady’s favourite things to eat when she isn’t feeling her best and it only takes about 10 minutes maximum to cook the potato in the microwave, cook the veg and mix the cheese in. Yum!

Tomato and Vegetable Sauce  and Lentils with Couscous

This uses my Tomato and Vegetable Sauce but I added in some cooked red lentils to include some protein into the dish.

Any Mince Burgers with Chips and Peas

No – These chips are NOT homemade……they are from a bag from the freezer and my kids love them!

Mashed potato with cheese, peas and hummus

Another favourite of Little Lady and this day she really wasn’t feeling great but as this was so soft and mushy she did manage to eat half of it.

Child friendly chicken nuggets with potato waffles and cucumber

I am working on a recipe for home made potato waffles as both my kids love them but until then I buy the ready made frozen ones. And how cute is that plate!!!

Quick Chicken and Pesto Stew

This fab recipe from my sister is still a firm favourite in my house. I usually add in some rice or couscous to bulk it up a bit even though it has potato in it. For little ones you can actually puree or mash this with a fork for a yummy mushy meal.

Mashed potato with cream cheese and spinach

This is also another favourite of Little Lady (see a theme here?) and with the cream cheese and spinach it is packed full of dairy and iron – perfect for little ones or when they aren’t feeling well but you want them to still have a balanced meal.
