What do you feed LO for lunch?

My DS just turned one and moved up to a new class at daycare. His teacher seemed surprised that yogurt and cheese was all I packed for his lunch. Now I am not sure if I am giving him enough .

What are some things you give your LO for lunch?

Homemade chicken fingers (https://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/infant-finger-food.html), steamed frozen mixed veggies and fruit.

Quesadilla, pb&j sandwich, leftovers from dinner, grilled cheese, and a fruit or vegetable.

Yeah, I try to balance food groups and provide small amts of several different things.  So might be pb sandwich, 15 raspberries, and a cheese stick.  Or bits of chicken, orange half, a handful of puffs, and a yogurt pouch.  Leftovers from dinner are very good.  I would also include a veggie if I thought it would be eaten...but usually just try to present veggies at dinner in new ways because she is so hateful towards them.

DS gets yogurt and applesauce for lunch.  His morning snack is usually a banana, and afternoon snack is a piece of cheese and some fruit, or hummus instead of the cheese.  Dinner is a fruit and chicken-veggie puree mix (I make a huge crockpot full of chicken with celery, carrots, potatoes, okra, and onion).  Breakfast is a smoothie and a veggie.

For those who send a grilled cheese sandwich or quesdilla, how do you prepare and send it to DC? Make it in the morning and they heat it up there?

Pb&j is staple, I buy a brand of organic mac n cheese and chicken nuggets that have veggies pureed in, southwest black bean soup, usually a fruit of some sort, yogurt.

Usually leftovers from the previous night's dinner.  This always includes a meat and veggie with maybe some rice or something.  She also eats breakfast and 2 snacks at day care.  You could send scrambled eggs which are easy enough to prepare the night before.  When I make eggs sometimes I put a little cheese or peppers in there.  DD has been eating almost everything I eat since just before she turned 1.

Hummus is a must in our house!  Both kids dip crackers and sometimes pretzels or veggies in it.  Plus there are so many different flavors of hummus.  It's a way to give protein in theri lunch.  We also do pb&j, cheese sandwich, yogurt and fruit, cheese and crackers, or sometimes just cereal.  It all depends on their mood.  GL!

I give DD things like raviolis, pita bread with hummus, turkey and cheese, PB & J on crackers, along with some fruit and veggies. Also, I'm not sure if you like to cook or not, but have you looked at the Weelicious blog? She has some great suggestions for easy toddler meals.
