I have a very happy, healthy and hungry 9 month old girl! She still has a little milk in the morning and a lot before bed time...but apart from that we are very much on solids and water/very watered down juice.


I am just looking for more adventurous food ideas. I am aware of a thread for meal times, but I am more looking for foods she may not have tried yet or fun snacks!


Favourites are banana, mash, carrot, blueberries, porridge, butternut squash, homemade spagetti.

Also, she is still toothless!


Would love some fresh ideas, I don't want her to get bored!


*edited for bad iPhone corrections!*

Not sure these are adventurous but here's some favourites in our house....


Red Leicester cheese chunks

Avocado & cream cheese on rice cakes or crackers

Gnocchi with whatever sauce & extras take your fancy - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4594/tomato-spinach-and-mascarpone-gnocchi

Courgette lasagne - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4716/creamy-courgette-lasagne

http://www.babyledweaning.com/recipes/ - lots of recipe & snack suggestions here

We have a hungry (nearly) 9 month old who loves eating. I make various mini fritters which I then freeze and reheat in the microwave for healthy ready made snacks - e.g. sweetcorn, carrot with quinoa and spinach, beetroot and feta, courgette with peas or chickpeas or feta, etc. Really simple to make - basic batter mixture is 2 tbsp flour, 1 egg and a splash of milk to which I add the other ingredients and any herbs or spices.


As Fuschia suggested, most babies seem to like houmous which they can have with breadstick, pitta or rice cake dippers (or carrot if they're good at munching!).


For main meals Baby Knomester has things like chicken casserole, ratatouille with pasta and cheese, vegetable & lentil curry with rice, creamy chicken an mushrooms with veg, mini fish pies with peas, cauliflower with green lentils, quinoa and lots if ginger and garlic, veggie chilli (with bulgar wheat and pulses), pasta with cheese sauce and veg, etc. Then at teatime I tend to give him easy to eat food because he's often tired, so soups (sweetcorn chowder, carrot & lentil, creamy leek & potato), risotto, houmous, eggy bread, mini cheese sandwiches, avocado, savoury muffins, homemade rice pudding (with no sugar), yogurt and fruit, etc.


Hope this gives you some new ideas! Just let me know if you'd like any recipes and I'll try to write them down.

    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
