Good ideas here. 
I have a 4 year old and 8.5 year old, they’re juuust now starting to eat a few of the same things. 
For super quick inspiration look up “solid starts how to feed” on Google images and scroll. And you can Google image search “how to feed…” and any type of food for quick images on how to prep and cut food for babes. Or look through solid starts on Instagram. That’s helped me bunches.
I don’t enjoy cooking and I’m not great at making homemade baby food and all, but I’ve definitely found some easy inspiration that way, like handing baby watermelon on the rind or a hunk of crusty baguette and not worrying about choking or fuss while I prep everyone else’s food.
But mainly I’m writing to say, hang in there, you know it’s just a few more months of bottles and pretty soon those kids will be eating the same meals and snacks! Hang in there, it’ll be much much easier very soon!

Answer

For breakfast my son loves banana pancakes, blueberry muffins, french toast, and sometimes he’ll eat eggs. Lunch we do left over dinner or toast with peanut butter or jelly, fruits like blueberries, bananas and raspberries. Dinner he loves chicken, rice, broccoli, pasta, roasted green beans, mashed potatoes, beans, peppers and meatballs. Almost anything we eat for dinner, usually. His pincer grasp is getting pretty good, so I’ve been cutting his food up smaller now which makes it easier when cooking.

Answer

My babe is 8 months today and we just started went from 2 solid meals to 3 solid meals. I like to make batches of things to keep in the freezer to make breakfast easy. Zucchini and flax muffins, banana pancakes, frittata, etc. just throw them in the toaster oven real quick to defrost / warm up and serve with a little fruit. For lunches or dinners I do a lot of instant pot meals and pull a few meals worth aside for my babe and then salt/season the rest for us for dinner (lasooni dal, rice and beans, chili, etc).
