One thing my daughter seemed to like was sweet potato. You can even find them in the larger grocery stores sold singly already wrapped in saran wrap to just take home and put in the microwave. Bake until its tender and cut into chunks.

Turkey sausage links (like the brown and serve - precooked) heated and cut into small pieces.

Baked apples done in the microwave with a little brown sugar and cinnamon. Just cut and cool.

Gerber has these yogurt melts that are kind of like meringues. They melt in your mouth and are really yummy.

Scrambled eggs are good as a source of protein, too.

Everything you're eating just cut up smaller. At 14 months your kid should be totally off baby food and working on mastering using a fork and spoon.

Here's some of the things we used:

Cheerios (most of the generic cheerio's aren't very good)
fruit loops (we've used generic from Marsh and it was fine)
Baby gold fish crackers
zwieback toast
any of the gerber finger foods (gerber "cheetos")
muffins broken apart

I give my daughter cut up bananas, Club crackers, green beans, peas, broccoli, little pieces of bread or toast, scrambled eggs, small pieces of tender meats (chicken mainly), Cheerios, puff snacks.
Basically anything that will dissolve easily or that's soft and tender to chew. I normally cut things into a little bigger than the size of a pea. Crackers I give whole now because she likes to bite them but when I first starting giving her crackers she would shove the whole thing in her mouth so I broke them into quarters.

My son started eating 'table food' at around 6 mnths.. but he's 10 mnths now and he eats everything we eat.. i mean gerber graduates has a whole line of products out that are for lil' ones.. they'll say pre-k or toddler on them or that's what they suggest but my lil' one does just fine.. i give him cheerios, those fruit puff things, i take madarin orages that are in the juice, rinse them and cut them in half for him.. he eats pizza cut up in small cubes. even now he's eating off of a fork (i guess he's bored while eating) so i poke something like bean or whatnot and hand him the fork and he goes at it.. there's not too much i limit my kids too when they start eating table food.. u just have to make sure it's cut up real small or very dissolvale for their lil' mouths. Good luck :)
