Toddler Meals: Dinners

Winner winner chicken dinner! We follow a "baby eats what we eat" rule in our house. There are a few exceptions but recently I noticed that Landon really enjoys eating. I think it has a lot to do with him weaning off of breast milk. 

Overall, introducing food to him has been easy. There are hits & misses, but if he's not interested, I will reintroduce in every few days, he will usually give in and eat it anyways. 

With summer here, we do a lot of grilling! We grill almost every night! Here are sons of our meals this week: 

Option 1:

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cool time: 15-25 minutes 

Grilled halibut (salt, pepper & lemon)

Wrap both separately in foil

cook sweet potatoes for 15 minutes on top rack first

Add fish & potato on bottom rack
