Family dinners suitable for nearly 8 months old (dairy/soy/egg free)

[Swannykazoo]

Hi all,
Weaning going well (sometimes!) - baby puggle enjoys finger food and also mashed food, and has surprised us with what he's enjoyed - veg curry etc. He (and I by default as still BFing) are dairy, soya and egg free. Keen not to do the separate dinner thing, but also keen he doesn't just have finger food all the time too so I'm looking for ideas for stuff I can cook a big batch and easily give him some + freeze for lunches.
So far:
irish stew, salmon + potatoes, beef in red wine, veg curry (DH scarfed it before it could be frozen)
Thinking - lasagne with oatly milk to make bechamel with no cheese
After that I'm sort of idea'd out. Help!

Hi Puggle01, we are MEWS-free in this house so am often frequently idea'd out too. Youngest is a year old.
For tea, we have a lot of soups and MEWS-free bread finger sandwiches, casseroles, potato waffles cut into strips with beans and MEWS-free sausages, Corn pasta/corn couscous with sauce, chicken tacos/fajitas (the discovery brand has MEWS-free seasoning), pancakes made with Koko milk, spring rolls (with rice noodles), stir fries, fish pies (Oatly or koko for the sauce). When DS was younger, I used to make up sticky rice and leave it to "set" in fingers or shapes that he could eat as finger food with his stir fry/curry/etc. Same with porridge. He seemed to like those :-)

For puddings, I offer jelly, custards (birds original custard made up with Oatly or Koko), coconut yogurts, sorbets or ice lollies. Tesco has a free-from apple crumble in the freezer section that is nice as a treat! Tough with the allergies, but it looks like you've already got a great range of food - share the beef in red wine recipe?! That sounds lovely!

I don't have any personal experience of dealing with those allergies but hopefully some of these will be suitable or can be adapted:

Roast dinner
Pasta with sauce eg tomato, roasted veg, pesto etc
Jacket potato with filling like tuna or mild chilli
Grilled meat or fish with vegetables
Homemade burgers or goujons
Stir fry (assuming you can get egg-free noodles)
Risotto
Cottage pie (using Oatly for the mash)
Fish pie or fishcakes (again, using Oatly)

does dried pasta egg have in it?

I was just going list some of DD2's favourite (8months) which would be egg/dairy/soy free and then I realised I have no idea! Sorry if the list is not useful

Pasta bolognese (either self feeding with fusilli pasta or spoon feed with little star pasta)
chilli and rice or potato wedges
chicken and chorizo stew with either new potatoes or cous cous or rice
mexican chicken in slow cooker
lamb curry and rice (but I add yoghurt to her portion which presumably you wouldn't be able to do)
tuna pasta
spaghetti and tomato sauce
fish tagine with cous cous

Can link to some recipes if you need any....

Cheers! I would give you the beef in red wine recipe but its a bitmade up minx - seasoned flour (mainly pepper given its for a wee one) with paprika and mustard, coat beef and brown, bung in a casserole dish with carrot chunks, onions and some celery, add lots of cheapish but not too cheap wine, thyme and tomato puree, bung in low oven for about 2 hours...
A link for fish tagine would be good thanks toowit

That's the original fish tagine recipe from the guardian. Personally, I have made a few changes to it myself as I roughly drain the mandarin segments so there is not so much juice and add a bit of water instead. I also add a couple of handfuls of frozen peas instead of the raisins and errrr.....oh yeah, I use frozen white fish fillet and just bung them in the sauce to cook and defrost at the same time. And I serve with cous cous instead of rice!

But all personal taste really!
