Crafty Toddler Meals: Ladybug Sandwich
Mama Brain says, “Go ahead, play with your food!”
More fun with cream cheese and jam on whole grain bread (and blueberries). You may have noticed that this is a popular lunch around here, so just in case you’re wondering if that’s all I feed my three year old (I guess she’s not technically a toddler anymore?):
Other Toddler Breakfast Ideas
I try to stick to 2 servings of whole grains and one serving each of dairy and fruit for breakfast. This usually keeps our little girl going until snacktime around 9:30 or so, when she gets another fruit and dairy with a grain (cheese and apple slices or grapes are popular at the moment) and a cookie or crackers for a treat if we’re on the go…
- Oatmeal or whole grain O’s with milk with banana slices, berries, or an unsweetened fruit cup mixed in.
- Buckwheat pancakes with jam
- Greek style 2% yogurt with fresh fruit
Lunch and Dinner always includes vegetables and protein…
These sandwiches would also work for a ladybug themed party (click on the link to see some more ideas for a ladybug picnic).
Toddler Meals: Butternut Chicken Cheese Roll Ups
Butternut Chicken and Cheese Roll Ups
I originally mentioned this recipe in my Butternut Ball Bonanza post, but now I finally remembered to snap a picture…
Toddler Recipe: Roll Ups
1/3 of a Wholewheat or Flax wrap
1 ball butternut squash (warmed up)
Shredded Cheese
Thin strips chicken breast
Caesar Salad
Spread squash and sprinkle cheese over wrap, lay down chicken at one end. Roll up. Cut into slices. Serve with grape tomatoes, cheese, and small pieces of shredded lettuce. Provide dip (I use the salad dressing).
Baby Recipe: Butternut Squash and Chicken Baby Food
You can make any quantity, just use:
1 part chicken to
2 parts squash, and then
blend and serve.
