Quick and Easy Toddler Food

I love that E is now eating real food.  I hate that I still have to cut it super tiny, but it's much better than spoon-feeding her.  She loves to feed herself, and I wanted to make sure she has a variety of food at Ryan's house (and April's while Ryan is recovering).

Here are two really quick and easy recipes I found that E loves (disclosure - Josh and I love them too).

Pizza Muffins - found on Once a Month Mom
Ingredients:

• Package of refrigerated biscuits (I prefer Pillsbury Grands Jr)
• 8 oz of pizza sauce
• 2 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese
• Meat and veggies to taste
• Garlic and Italian spices to taste

Preheat your oven to 375.  Using a non-stick muffin pan (or a greased muffin pan), press a biscuit into each muffin cup, creating a bowl.  Spoon a couple of tablespoons of pizza sauce (veggies/meats premixed into sauce) into each biscuit bowl.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Remove from the oven and top with shredded mozzarella.  Bake for 5 minutes.  Allow the biscuits to cool before you remove them from the pan.  

Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls - found on Big Oven

Ingredients:

• Package of crescent rolls (8)
• 4 slices of ham
• 4 slices of cheese

Preheat your oven based on the package of crescent rolls.  Using a cutting board or other flat surface, unroll each crescent roll.  Tear or cut 1/2 piece of cheese to fit inside of the unrolled crescent.  Top with 1/2 slice of ham.  Roll into crescent shape.  Place on nonstick or greased pan.  Repeat process until all crescents are rolled.  Allow the crescents to cool before you remove them from the pan and serve.

The really great thing about these recipes is that they can be frozen for up to 14 days.  I like to use Glad containers to freeze in individual servings so that I can grab one on the go for E and not worry about the entire batch going bad.
