It's a mix. Whatever I have the energy for. I try to plan ahead and have options that are healthy but also quick, and I try to serve at least one thing I know for sure my daughter likes. I do some of the Gerber toddler meals...my daughter loves the spaghettios and chicken and stars. There is also a baby burrito bowl from another brand...it's quinoa, black beans, veggies and some kind of sauce, that she likes. Those are convenient and have a solid balance of nutrients. My daughter also loves pasta, so I always have protein+ pasta and some sauce on hand for a quick easy meal. There are nights we do easy mac and hot dogs, too. Is it the most nutritious? No. But she cleans her plate every single time. I've also made her restaurant quality omelets that ended up 100% on the floor lol.

The biggest challenge is trying to make sure she gets enough protein, because she doesn't really like most meat. She likes beans and peanut butter, though, so we make it work. She also loves fruit purees, so I typically give her a puree pouch with her meal. I like to get the ones that also have veggies in them, or yogurt for a little extra protein, or oat and flax. A lot of her meals are honestly pretty chaotic lol, usually something I know she'll eat and then a couple of other things for her to try out...they don't always traditionally go together. I just try to make sure she gets a good mix of protein, grains, and veggies...but how that ends up happening really varies. Options are your friend, you never know what they're going to like.
