Happy Friday! This week I tried a little experiment. When the twins first started eating solid foods back at 6 months, I started sharing my favorite purées, snacks, meals, and baby feeding items over on Snapchat and now Instagram Stories. To be honest, It's one of the topics I get the most questions about! So when my friend Kelly suggested I create a weekly blog series focused on what I feed the twins each week, I though it was a genius idea! Genius that is, if I can actually photograph them. Ha! Trying to make a meal, feed the twins, and have time to snap a picture is much harder than it seems folks. But here are a few of the breakfasts and lunches I fed my toddlers this week. I managed to capture four meals and for that I believe I deserve four pieces of chocolate, who agrees?
MONDAY:
Breakfast // Buckwheat Pancakes with mixed berries and pure maple syrup for dipping.
TUESDAY:
Lunch // Cheese Quesadilla, Roasted Red Bell Pepper & Tomato Soup, and diced avocado.
WEDNESDAY:
Breakfast // Cheesy scrambled eggs, cinnamon raisin toast and blueberries.
THURSDAY:
Breakfast // Veggie Scramble with corn and spinach, butter croissant, sliced banana and raspberries.
If you have toddlers, I hope this post gave you a little bit of inspiration! Leave me a comment in the section below and let me know if you have any go-to toddler meal ideas that I should try. I'm looking forward to sharing more ideas next week...and hopefully a bit more variety, as in dinner. Sheesh. Happy Weekend!

Haha! It's always fun to look at mini meals for some reason.

Love this new series! I have a 14month old and often get in a rut of making the same things for her. Lately her favorite is "Mexican pizzas" (a quarter of a whole wheat tortilla with black refried beans smeared on top with alittle bit of cheese). It's super easy to make and always a hit
Leah Bergman says
Oh perfect! Our children are very close in age then. I'll definitely give the Mexican pizza idea a try. Thank you!
Leah Mueller says
Love this, I'm always looking for toddler food ideas for our 14 month old. We love doing hummus & snap peas or cucumber & roast sweet potato, black bean, and cheese quesadillas.
Leah Bergman says
Yum! Sounds delicious and healthy! My twins love black beans too!
Dixie says
I am laughing thinking of how messy that tomato soup must have been. ????
You are a good mommy ????????????
Leah Bergman says
Oh, it's always a mess but they are surprisingly really into eating soup! They also like to dip their quesadilla in it. I just use really large bibs. Haha!
Emily says
Our meals look very similar! My two-year-old LOVES this salad: cucumber + avocado + splash of soy sauce. We have it all the time! Also, where did you get the white plate? We have ones that look similar...but they are very bright. 🙂
Leah Bergman says
Yum! I'll have to try that combination. My twins love avocado so I'm sure that would be a hit. The white plates are from Re-Play!
Maritza says
I have an almost 14 month old and love this new series, so many times it gets difficult finding something to feed her as she only has three teeth!! She really loves grilled cheese made with ghee, Peas and carrots with avocado and chicken and rice and beans with chicken on the side. Love seeing new things to offer her as I know she will be happy with some variety. I also make her a kale smoothie with coconut water and mango that she loves!!
Leah Bergman says
Perfect! Our children are very close in age. Hopefully we can both inspire each other. 🙂 My twins love smoothies as well but I make them with spinach vs kale. I might need to get kale in the mix!
Lynn says
I want their meals! Love the blog update.
Leah Bergman says
Thanks so much Lynn! I want their meals too. I eat a lot of quesadilla scraps. haha!
