A couple of months ago I talked about Monster's daily eating schedule and how I had set it up so that it would be an easy transition when the time came for bottle weening.
Monster schedule looked something like this:
Wake up - Breakfast (Solids)
Mid-morning Snack - 8oz Bottle
12-1pm - Lunch (Solids)
Afternoon Snack - 8oz Bottle
530-6pm - Supper (Solids)
Bedtime Snack - 8oz Bottle
Having his eating schedule set up like that allows us to slowly transition his "snacks" (bottles) to real solid food as he began eating more at meal times. This has been a brilliant plan! So far we've only replaced his mid-morning bottle with solids because a 10 month old is still supposed to have breast milk or formula as a primary source of nutrition.
Although, we are nearing the time when we can start thinking about eliminating the 4pm "snack" (bottle) as well. As this stage in Monster development the only thing holding us back is finding more snack and meal options for our two-toothed little Monster.
What are some snack and meal options you provide for your growing 10 month old?

Adventures in Eating Well - Part One
Because of my gallbladder issues, my weight issues and the health risks that go hand in hand with being over weight I am constantly on the look out for better eating options.
Today I am making good ol' fashioned spaghetti sauce and pasta. My favorite thing about spaghetti sauce is that it is essentially a veggie dumping ground. I can add almost any vegetable into the sauce and it makes little difference to the taste. Perfect for hiding extras!
Tonights sauce has chopped spinach, grated cauliflower and celery as it's extras. That is over and above the regulars like tomato, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. Whole wheat pasta smothered in said sauce.... MmmMmm, is it just me or did it just get hungrier in here?
Dishes like this, chilli, homemade soups and stews are perfect for picky eaters and toddlers. As long as you cut everything small enough and don't let it slip about what's really in there. ;)
