Don’t make dinner for your little ones more complicated than it has to be. I serve my 13 month old whatever I am eating, within reason. Children will eat what their parents eat. They eat whatever they’re given.

If they don’t like what you prepare, don’t worry, eventually they will become accustomed to and interested in the various foods offered. Usually a child will eat at least some part of the meal, and that’s great. However, I do not recommend catering to what your child “wants” and cooking different meals; otherwise they will always expect that! In my case, if Phoenix doesn’t want any part of the dinner, I offer fruit and leave it at that. Remember, textures, tastes and mouth feel are all new for them. Be patient and make meal time enjoyable!
