Breakfast / lunch ideas

Just looking for some new ideas for breakfast/ lunch for my 13 month old. I feel like I always give her the same stuff

I understand!  I get so tired of my basic menu sometimes.  I do a sit down breakfast and dinner every day so I am always looking for something to add that my family will enjoy.  Are there foods you don't serve your 13m old?  Foods you still avoid?

Breakfast staples at our house are: scrambled eggs, toast with cream cheese, pancakes (I add a bunch of stuff to mine to add protein), waffles, breakfast meats like sausage and bacon and ham, egg casseroles, fresh fruit like oranges, grapefruits, banana

Lunch is often leftovers from dinner or they have a couple heavy snacks and call it fed enough for lunch ;-)

We typically do 1-2 fruits, sometimes yogurt, and dry cereal for breakfast.  Occasionally we'll do english muffins or toast, eggs, etc. but DD tends to prefer her fruit over anything else, so I keep it simple.

Lunch is either leftovers or sandwiches and fruit/veggies.  DD loves grilled cheese right now.

Snacks include string cheese, crackers, applesauce, yogurt, cheddar cheese cubes, fruit, veggies (she loves cucumbers, peas, and green beans at the moment, but typically eats what we put in front of her).

Dinner is whatever is on sale at the grocery store that week  we do a lot of baked pasta stuff that lasts 2-3 nights because it's hard for us to find time to make dinner with DH and I both working full time.  She loves baked ziti, baked spaghetti, etc.  Baked chicken and potatoes/veggies... Chicken quesadillas... Tacos... We try to mix it up to keep from getting bored, but I'm a slave to grocery sales!

We do cereal, scrambled eggs, burritos, yogurt, fruit, and pancakes a lot for breakfast. 

Lunch is usually grilled cheese or pb&j or nutella sandwiches, quesadillas, or some kind of soup... lentil, chili, etc.

Breakfast is usually fresh fruit (he loves fruit and sometimes eats a whole cup of it at breakfast), plus plain cheerios.  On weekends, we do homemade muffins in place of cheerios.  Wish this kid would eat eggs but he doesn't.  Once in a blue moon we make pancakes or French toast from scratch on weekends - obviously that is a treat and  he doesn't get it every day.

Lunch tends to be leftovers from dinner the night before.  Or grilled cheese and cold cuts with frozen veggies.
