I'm looking for easy lunch ideas for my real food loving 9 month old with too many teeth who has absolutely no desire for any purees or pouches. At home I just feed him whatever I'm eating but it's not always the most normal thing to send. All I can think of is pancakes

Why does it have to be normal? Send what he likes as long as it's healthy.

Pasta, sandwiches, chicken, mestballs… kids that age are usually ok with room temperature food.

My easy go-tos: steamed frozen veggies, canned beans, hard boiled eggs, pasta, melon, strawberries, pear, peach (fresh or canned), banana, shredded cheese, fish, shredded chicken.

I sent my baby with a full bentgo lunchbox... the babysitter made fun of me at first and then after a while she started raving how cute he is when he eats and she took videos to show her married kids...

I gave pasta, roasted broccoli, scrambled egg strips, yogurt bar with chocolate removed, Ezekiel toast slices

Frozen pizza in strips works amazingly well
Avocado cubes
Flounder cubed and breaded
Sautéed liver cubes and yes she enjoyed it

I hav a 8.5 months old and we did baby led weaning (sort of).
If I give him a purée it will end up on the floor.
I give him a lot of steamed veggies (carrot, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower)
Chicken meatballs (I like them more as they aren’t as greasy)
Sometimes he eats pasta and rice
Salmon, canned sardine are really good for them
Fruits, berries are a hit and avocados are like his lifeline.
Honestly sometimes he has what I’m eating in a baby version.

Nah why would I? I sent him at 8 and she fed at 12. It can stay room temp for a few hours.
