I've started looking at everything I make for lunch and dinner and wondering if it's Soph appropriate. They say once babies start eating toddler food it gets easier because you don't have to make 2 meals. Um - that might be true if you're already eating well balanced meals. I'm pretty sure things like taco night (full of packaged seasoning and salsa) and cereal for dinner night don't qualify as the well balanced meal Soph should be getting. The good thing is that it is definitely helping us make sure we have some healthier meals. I've also become a pro at adding vegetable puree into everything. It's amazing how much better you feel about eating mac n cheese for dinner when you've added some butternut squash and broccoli puree into it.
Some of my favorite books about feeding and recipes for our little ones are:
Baby Bites - great month by month feeding guide
The Healthy Baby Meal Planner - a lot of great easy recipes broken out by month. It also includes weaning schedules and tips on helping ensure you baby gets all of their vitamins.
Healthy Meals for Babies & Toddlers - concise book with tips, recipes (with clearly marked cook times), storage tips and most importantly, pictures. I love recipe books that show pictures of the food.
One great website that I visit often for recipe ideas is: http://weelicious.com/
She has great unique recipes that are fit for parents & baby alike.
Happy Feeding!

Thank you, I was wondering where to go for feeding advice (other than mom).
