Vegan Red Lentil Soup:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/70330/vegan-red-lentil-soup/

Modifications:
I use whatever oil I've got, leave out the feneugreek, and sub a sweet potato for the butternut squash.

Texas Chicken with Lime Butter:

Modifications:
No butter (or put butter pre-serrano for your babe, unless he/she likes spice!), and reduce the chili powder.

Whole Wheat Chocolate Baked Donuts:

Modifications:
I don't use her frosting recipe (chocolate chips), and I subbed the sugar for 1/4 c pure maple syrup and 1/4 c coconut sugar.  Also, I would reduce the cooking time to 12 minutes if you are doing mini donuts like I did.

Raw chocolate icing:

No modifications, except that I halved the recipe for these donuts.

Eggplant "meat"balls and spicy sweet potato and spinach pasta sauce

Eggplant meatballs

Modifications:

I cut the salt, used 1 tsp of dried basil, and used cheddar instead of Romano (I really think any cheese would do), and I didn't use the sauce and ricotta 

Spicy sweet potato & spinach sauce 

http://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/cooking-ideas/7-veggie-packed-pasta-sauces/slide/5

Modifications:

I only used one onion, 1 jalapeño pepper, bok choy instead of spinach (any green will do), and put 2 T Greek yogurt in the babies individual portion. I think you could make this as is with no issues.

Modifications:

I left out the chilis, but you are welcome to keep them in!

Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

I used this recipe for the sauce.  My modifications were 3 fresh garlic cloves, 1/2 c of any cheese (I did a white Italian mix) and 1/2 a tsp of dried basil because the store was out of fresh.  Also no salt on the babies portion, though I think it needed it for the adults.

BBQ Polenta Muffins

 Muffin Ingredients:

• 1 c polenta
• 1 c whole wheat flour
• 3 tsp baking soda
• 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 c buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 1 c mixed veggies, chopped small
• shredded cheese

For the slow cooker BBQ chicken, click here. The chicken can be cooked up to 2 days beforehand.  I used boneless thighs this time, as they are higher in iron (so I've read).

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Mix the first 3 ingredients together.
3. Add the applesauce, butter, buttermilk and egg, and stir till fully mixed.
4. Add the mixed veggies (I used Trader Joe's Organic 4 frozen veggies, and thawed in the microwave for 1 min).
5. Spray a muffin in with nonstick spray.  Spoon 1 heaping T of mix into each well and spread around the bottom.
6. Top with 1 heaping tsp of shredded meat. 
7. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake for 10-12 mins.

Apple Cinnamon Donuts

Modifications:
Whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, half the amount of nutmeg (1/4 tsp), no salt, and no glaze.

And to be honest- I love brown butter, but my babies palates are less discerning, so I just did 2 T melted butter instead of browning the butter.  :)

Turkey Stroganoff
http://jaredandcyndi.blogspot.com/2012/01/ground-turkey-stroganoff.html

Modifications:  garlic powder for garlic salt, no mushroom stems/pieces, yogurt (not sour cream).  I served on whole wheat egg noodles.  

Shepherds Pie:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/shepherds-pie-recipe2.html

Modifications:  no salt

So you can def make this as is, but here are things I've done that still work fine:

-I forgot to put the egg yolk in the potatoes.  They weren't as creamy, but it still worked.

-I used beef vs lamb.

-I add a crust of cheddar cheese on top.

-I used dry spices vs. fresh (just a tiny sprinkling of each thyme and rosemary).

-I used 1 tsp garlic powder instead of fresh.

-I subbed buttermilk for half and half because I needed to use some up.

-I used vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.

For adults you'll need to add salt.  The potatoes need it (IMO).

 Broccoli Cheese Roll-ups

http://easytoddlermeals.com/2015/04/broccoli-cheese-roll-ups/

I do these a little differently.  Here are my (albeit slight) modifications:

Ingredients:
Any bread, just not stale.
Steamed broccoli, chopped small
Shredded cheese
Butter

1.  Cut off crusts and flatten with a rolling pin.
2.  Add a line of cheese and broccoli close to one end of the bread.
3.  Roll tightly.
4.  In a small pan, melt about 1/2 T of butter.  Carefully get a little melted butter on your finger and run it down the bottom part of the seam (that will touch the rolled bread to seal).  Place roll-ups seam side down in the pan.
5.  Add a little more butter (about 1/2 T again) and flip to the other side.  Brown the 3rd and 4th sides as necessary.
