[quote=Anonymous]OP, there was an oatmeal banana pancake recipe on the pancake thread.  I modified it a bit, and my 20 month old really likes it.  Other breakfast stuff - oatmeal cooked with milk for with some applesauce and cinnamon stirred in; scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese; a plain pancake topped with a fried egg (DS seriously loves this).  If you're able to do straw cups, you could make fruit/yogurt smoothie for a variation on your usual breakfast.

For another veggie, squash is a good one to roast.  I like to do wedges of acorn squash and then scoop out the flesh with a spoon after roasting.

Agree with the avocado suggestion.  We do a lot of guac and hummus.

For a snack (in the future if not now), the baked lentil chips are pretty good.

For variety with the raw tomatoes, I toss them with either a little olive oil, salt and basil, or with a vinegar-based dressing (I do an Asian-style one that calls for white vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and a little sesame oil).  You could do raw cucumber pieces or raw zucchini pieces similarly.

For other grains... I cook quinoa in stock (can do veg) with chopped veggies (throw it all in together), then stir parm cheese into the quinoa once cooked.  It's really good.  This is also a really yummy bulgur salad: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Bulgur-Salad-with-Garbanzo-Beans-Feta-and-Plum-Tomatoes-105275

Not a grain, but TJs has a frozen lentil mix with tomatoes and olive oil that is pretty good.  Only way (other than lentil chips and hummus) that I can get beans into my kid (not a problem you have, clearly!).

Something sweet for the fall: pumpkin cookies. :)
