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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
