My 10mth DD loves to feed herself finger food especially at main meal times. However I am slowly running out of ideas of different things to give her. This is what I currently give. Any other ideas:

Toast (cheese/mashed banana/creamcheese/cheese&tom)
Cooked vegies
Vegie rissoles
Chicken pieces
Pasta (bowties/baby shells)
Cruskits and homemade muffins for snacks
Baked beans
Tuna
Fruit
Cornflakes (tried weetbix but she spits them out)

Off a spoon she'll only eat yogurt and fruit from the jar.

So basically any ideas of things she can pick up that I can freeze in portions (if possible).

Pikelets. Grate a zucchini and apple in for extra veg, can boost flavour with a bit of cinnamon or spread with her favorite toppings. Pikelets freeze well, just separate them with a bit of non-stick paper.

Omelet. I just beat up an egg with a bit of milk and fry it quickly. Slice into manageable bits. Or you could do scrambled eggs.

Rice, especially sticky varieties or risotto. Mix up with her favorite veg.

Ham and small pieces of cooked chicken. I used to roll up a slice of ham for DD.

Sticks of cheese?

I used to do cheese sticks/slices, peeled tomato pieces, zucchini slice, home made chicken nuggets (basically chicken breast pieces coated with flour, egg, then corn flake crumbs....if she can chew that kind of thing yet....), little savoury muffins, rissoles, DD loved tuna as well, mix it in with some pasta, peas and cheese sauce/canned tomatoes or puree?, and let her eat it with her fingers...messy, but pretty tasty!

It gets so hard trying to keep it interesting huh? Good luck!
