March Munchkin Meals: 17 Months
| March 7, 2013 | Posted by Madeline @ Food, Fitness, and Family under Munchkin Meals, Toddler |
I love sharing my eats with you on What I Ate Wednesday because then I can also check out the other posts for some new ideas. Similarly, I love linking up with Brittany for Munchkin Meals because I get some new ideas for toddler meals! Feeding a toddler isn’t hard … but having a variety of foods can be. This is Em’s 17 month edition of Munchkin Meals!
BREAKFAST
Breakfast is pretty standard around here. Eggs, fruit, homemade whole wheat waffles, or baked oatmeal (recipe coming SOON I promise). Oatmeal if for days where we have to be out the door early and I need an option that takes 30 seconds. Perfect!
LUNCH
Quinoa sautéed with spinach, tomatoes, and turkey. Grapes on the side.
Applegate chicken nuggets, clementine, and left over roasted veggies.
Quinoa with peas, turkey, and spinach with clementines.
Low sodium, nitrate free turkey, clementines, leftover roasted veggies
Leftover creamy mushroom chicken, blueberries, and peas.
The biggest thing with lunch for me is that I have things on hand. I make quinoa during my Sunday prep so I have it on hand all week. I always make extra roasted veggies for easy lunch options. Lunch takes me less than 5 minutes to prep which is great when Em gets hangry.
DINNER
For dinner, Em eats what we eat. In this case it was chicken with roasted veggies and grilled pork chops.
SNACKS
Snacks are whatever is on hand. We have been loving smoothies lately. Em also sucks down green juices like there’s no tomorrow. Sometimes it’s Gold Fish crackers.
Overall I try to get Em a balanced diet throughout the day. I also try to add variety to the kinds of fruits and veggies she eats. Overall I am lucky that I have a really good eater who loves her healthy foods! Don’t forget to check out the other posts in the link-up!

It’s always nice to see what others feed their munchkins. We have our standard go to foods like oatmeal, homemade granola, nut butter sandwiches, green dips and smoothies. I try for variety but my kiddos are getting pickier with every month!

I’m nervous that she will end up being a picky eater like I was. I survived so I guess she will too if she gets there. Ha.
We definitely stick to standard breakfasts for L too- if it’s not broke… Glad you have such a good eater!

My thoughts exactly!
Can you and Em come up to Charlotte so she can show Wyatt how to eat? Sounds like she is doing awesome!

Hmmm a trip to Charlotte sounds enticing
She eats so well and so much! I know I say it every month, but it’s such a contrast to how Penny eats. Though the other day, Penny ate about 6 stalks of asparagus… so she has her moments.

That is a lot of asparagus! Haha.
I love the color in those plates of food! She’s a great eater and adorable!

Thank you! I try to find some fun plates for her
We’ve been loving oatmeal lately, I would love to see your baked oatmeal recipe. We love fresh fruit, smoothies and sweet potatoes.

Jealous that your little one eats all that great stuff!!! I try to sneak it some extra nutrition my little one loves fruit and eats everything at school (great organic healthy menu) but at home… she says “school only”

I love those plates! My son things plates are toys and throws them food and all when I put them on his tray. Looks like your girl gets such a great variety of foods! Thanks for sharing!
I love her little fish plate. My 19 month old prefers her foods be separated so i need to get some plates like that!

I have noticed you don’t give her many carbs after breakfast.. Is that intentional or she just eats what you eat? I have heard that I should start my daughter on just carbs and veggies rather than meat? Did you do that at the beginning or has it roughly always been like this? X
