For pasta I serve the butterfly ones too, forget what they are called, heehee, or penne or the rigatoni (spirals) with a touch of tomato sauce or just buttered as playfelt mentioned. I agree with her philosophy for food as well. I don't serve soups or stews, but I do serve chili and my tuna/rice/cheese casserole was a hit last week but the cheese kept it all stuck together for less mess. However, I had to change the pants of the 2 year old because she lost a spoonful on her lap and I didn't want her smelling like tuna all afternoon. I do serve yogurt about 3 times a week because it sticks to the spoon well, but I feed applesauce to the under 2's myself and don't even serve it often. They can have apples!
