DD just started daycare this week (15 months old) and I'm at a lost as to what to send for breakfast and lunch everyday. She'll be at daycare 4 days a week so ideally I'd like to send something different everyday. Any suggestions? At home it's much easier to whip something up or cook something real quick but now that I have to have stuff "pre made" it makes things complicated.
Thanks!!

pb and j, ham or turkey and cheese sandwiches (i smush them down and cut into strips), crackers and tuna fish, fruit and veggie cups (they have them in the canned vegetable aisle), string cheese, bananas, nilla wafers for dessert.
gerber graduates meals or sides (they have all kinds, and these would be easy for a couple days a week).
I have a recipe I got off of wholesomebabyfood.com's blog for an egg casserole: https://adventuresinbabyfood.blogspot.com/2009/06/egg-casserole.html
cut it up into the right size portions and freeze them. Also, for lunch, Drew's favorite right now are sweet potato quesadillas: https://adventuresinbabyfood.blogspot.com/2009/05/cheesy-sweet-potato-quesadillas.html
I've made them with butternut squash when I was out of sweet potatoes and I've also added peas to them too. I cut them into small squares. these also freeze well.
DD's favorite breakfasts are waffles. I make a batch at home on the weekends and they're good in the microwave or toaster
And the bagelfuls are very easy for toddlers.
DD does really good with canned soups for lunch
