[quote=Anonymous]You can cut fruit in ways that are easy to use as finger food but should pose no chocking risk for even the most anxious parent. For example, most fruit can be cut in a matchstick shape that your son can grasp but couldn't choke on even if he got the whole thing in his throat.

Also, don't underestimate your kids' tastes. There's a decent chance virtually whatever you ate for dinner the night before he'll be willing to try as a leftover. Again, just cut it into slivers so its long enough to grasp but not wide enough to choke on. Its not really any additional work on top of whatever you did to make/obtain dinner.

Some other things my 1 year old likes that take virtually no time and literally no cooking skills:

- PB&J sandwiches, cut into tiny squares (if your daycare allows them);

- Overcooked pasta with tomato sauce; if you're going to  obsess about cutting larger pasta into small pieces then just buy small pasta, like elbows, to start with;

- Frozen waffles cut lengthwise into french fry shaped pieces. You don't even need to defrost them; you can cut them frozen and they'll be thawed by lunchtime;

- YoBaby yogurt;

- Dry Cheerios and raisins, mixed together;

- Fruit leather, cut into strips.[/quote]
