Snacks and meals for a 1 year old can be tricky...because they can be so picky.





Each of my children at that age loved homemade mac and cheese.





Cook desired amount of elbow macaroni as printed on box.


In a casserole dish mix with 1/2 amount of cheese and 1/2 amount of milk. For example...if you cook 1 cup of pasta, mix in the casserole dish 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and a 1/2 cup of milk. Bake in the oven 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. (remember that a 1 year old may need their noodles cooked to a very soft texture).





They were also fans of :


Boiled raisins. I know that sounds odd, but they loved the taste of raisins, but the texture was too tough. Putting them in a little water and steaming them for a minute softens the skin enough to make them easy to gum.Does anyone have meal or snack recipes or ideas for a one year old?

make sure no foods have fake sugar like sucralose or aspartame.


make sure any prepared foods u buy, like mac n cheese doesn't have more than 400 mg of sodium per serving.

one of my LO's favorites is sweet potato ';fries';


jsut peel %26amp; slice a fresh sweet potato into fries, drizzle with olive oil, %26amp; bake at 375F for about 10-15 min turning once, voila! you can sprinkle with cinnamon, too. they're yummy! even i like them :)
My one year niece loves cheese, turkey, chicken nuggets, sweet potatoes, goldfish crackers, yogurt melts, green beans, bananas, pumpkin (really any squash), butternut squash ravioli, cereal bars, noodles, etc. Just whatever we are eating in smaller bites and portions.
Cheerios is alwayds a good choice. Kids love them and if you put them in a baggie they travel fine and don't need milk and low in sugar.
