In reply to Raeann. Oh my goodness, right? I hated that when I would search for toddler meal ideas. It's okay to serve your kids things from the frozen foods section, everyone!

In reply to Amanda. You absolutely should not feel guilty for giving your kids frozen or boxed foods! You're doing a great job! I'm glad I could help!!

Such a helpful post. Thank you! It’s so hard being a mom today with all the guilt for giving our toddlers basic meals that aren’t completely natural. It’s a lot planning with also working. I’m going to try giving him more frozen veggies that I can heat up like you suggested.

In reply to Theresa. Just keep trying! My 4-year-old and 2-year-old will pretty much only eat chicken nuggets, but that's how our oldest was, too, and after we just kept trying, he finally tried things and liked them!

I love this list!! So helpful. My son loves hummus too! I am having a hard time with meat though. He usually will chew it a a little bit then spit it out. Deli roast beef is the only thing I know he will eat. Any tips on getting more meat into my 18 month old?

In reply to Lupe. We have about 30 meals on rotation, so it's kind of hard to give you an idea of what we have for dinner. Things like different pasta dishes, enchiladas, burritos, tacos, soups, chili, sandwiches, casseroles, that kind of thing. You can check out my Lunch and Dinner Pinterest board for more ideas!

I know you mention breakfast lunch & dinner in your real toddler food web page, but did not give any dinner ideas? Every parent says their kid eats whatever they are having, but never state what “they are actually having?” can you give ideas and share what you have for dinner? Thanks!
