There's plenty of stuff stuff you can give her - it's easy once you get the hang of it.
Why not try her on:
- steamed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cougettes, carrots, parsnips, green beans etc);
- baked/boiled/mashed potato;
- humous;
- pitta bread;
- apple, dried apricot, satsumas etc;
- breadsticks;
- chopped peppers;
- rice cakes;
- plain natural yoghurt.

Have you heard of baby-led weaning? There shoudl be a thread on here about it I would think. I did it with my daughter from 6 months and it's wonderful. Basically you just start giving them finger foods like the above from 6 months, rather than pureeing stuff. Very easy and they're quickly eating very similar stuff to mummy and daddy.
I can thoroughly recommend it!
Hope this helps
