Have you thought about tofu? It's already soft. You can mash it up and add a little bit of chicken broth along with some soft veggies. Excellent source of protein! Hmm...what about beans and rice? Let me know what you create!

I haven't fed our daughter, 13 months, any meat yet. Trader Joes has great pre-cooked lentles that she loves. Lets see; we feed her beans, she loves Indian food so lots of chickpeas, she does eat peanut butter, but, of course, I wouldn't recommend that for every child. Cheese, yogurt, and milk are good sources of protein. Surprisingly, potatoes have quite a bit of iron, if you're thinking about that, too. We cook spinach in olive oil, take just a bit and wrap it in string cheese.

Again, not for every family, but we are going to start giving her sushi (highest grade, of course).

I'm going to be following this thread because I always could use ideas about how to change it up: )

My favorite standard was whole wheat spaghetti, a little ground turkey, and marinara sauce. I overcooked the noodles so they would mash up easier and my kiddos loved it. :) It is also a really good way to add more veggies, like squash and carrots to the sauce. :)

I have a 14-month old daughter, Malialani, who I made all babyfood for and am raising vegetarian (some fish as dad eats fish). Check out the website, wholesomebabyfood.com, i found some really great recipes to puree and some great finger foods once your little guy starts getting teeth. hope this helps!

I am raising my son vegetarian, and I buy organic whenever possible. Making sure he gets enough protein is a big concern for us. We make a lot of bean-based dishes, as well as pea soup and lentils. He loves tofu and cheese. Eggs, broccoli, spinach, and rice are also good vegetarian sources of protein. We haven't tried edamame yet, but I've heard some babies really like it. Good luck!
