Meal Ideas for Vegetarian One Year Olds

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been particularly active. I've been super busy of late trying to organise my house (total mess), and also applying for uni! Equally my son Rhys has already hit the Terrible Two's, and he's only one! What a nightmare! He can now walk, and expresses great interest in running into things. He understands the word no, but doesn't listen to me when I say it. He has tantrums when I put him to bed, or in the bath, or basically anywhere, for that matter. He's very clingy and still super fussy with his food. I've been trying to come up with lists of food that he will and won't eat, so that I can try to get him new foods that he might enjoy.

He will eat...

Toast, yoghurts, grapes, bananas, apples, raisins, chips, tortilla chips, cheese and tomato flatbreads, eggs, chocolate, and cheese.

He won't eat...

Meat, fish, he doesn't really like pasta, there also isn't many vegetarian baby food jar options, acidic fruits, he doesn't particularly like custard or rice pudding, or crisps

In some ways I feel bad inflicting a vegetarian diet on a one year old, but the fact is, is that it is his preference to what he will and won't eat, and I, as his parent will respect that. So these are my cheap and easy meal ideas for a vegetarian one year old. 

I'm going to try him with all of these next week, and hopefully he likes them, as it feels like I'm running out of healthy options to give him! I might give him a few different things at a time, so it's almost like a roulette and I can see what he enjoys and dislikes. 

I hope that you enjoyed this post, and also that your child isn't as fussy as mine!
