wow that list is almost the same as our 1 1/2 yr old. We feed her cut up fruit (grapes / bananas. etc) She likes crackers, chicken, ground hamburger / turkey.
Oatmeal / waffles / scrambled eggs in the mornings.

anything off the grill thats not too spicy, chicken/fish mainly
potato salad/mashed/baked etc etc
all types of fruit
cheese... lots of cheese every night!
hot dogs
deli meat


if she'll eat it... we'll feed it.

Our 1yr old LOVES pizza.

He'll wake up out of his sleep if he hears a pizza commercial on tv.

my daughter loves pretty much all veggies

broccoli
carrots
zucchini
asparagus
sweet potatoes
etc

we just steam them a little bit to make them tender

other favorites are:
banana and honey sandwich
blueberries
cucumbers
greek yogurt covered raisins

she has been eating almost whatever we eat since she was over a year old

just start giving her whatever y'all eat and see how she does

the only time I will make something different for our daughter is when we make soup or something like that

her favorite "snack" at the moment is just raw arugula...she is kinda weird

At daycare my kid eats everything. Fruits, veggies, meats, sloppy joes. Everything.

At home, pretzels and cheerios. She just does not eat at home, I don't get it.

At that age she can eat pretty much whatever you do. We always fed our daughter what we ate.

Fruits and non-leafy veggies that she can eat with her hands or spoon: peas, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, kiwis, bananas, melon, cucumber, parsnips, and sweet potatoes.

Full fat greek yogurt mixed with berries or granola is good for breakfast and lots of eggs. Ground beef/chicken and delicate fish are good when they are younger so they dont have to chew as much.

Those little packets of fresh mozarella balls are great for on the go snacks.

Both of mine loved jambalaya (Just the rice part when they didn't have very many teeth)

The only thing my 18 mo won't eat is ice cream for some strange reason.

Just start giving her whatever you're eating and see if she likes / eats it.

Whatever he/she will eat.
My 2 year old loves broccoli, rice and gravy, taters and beans so we cook that a lot because most of the other stuff she likes isn't "healthy". I'm of the mindset that as long as she is eating and what she's eating isn't 100% crap then I'm good with it.
