What do you send your 12m+ for lunch?

happilyhis · June 2009

We need more variety. Nick only gets mashed up veggies or shells and cheese. What do you send if your child goes to daycare/baby-sitter?

ETA: I would like to include more meat.

DS usually has a turkey and cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread, grilled cheese, a veggie burger or pasta/cheese/veggie thing. I usually give him fruit with lunch - blueberries, strawberries, cantaloupe, bananas, etc. If he's still hungry, I'll give him some cheese or some goldfish.

Do you cut the sandwich up, or just half/triangle it?

I usually cut the sandwich up into manageable pieces.

We eat at home, but i pack the same thing even if we're going out and i have to give her lunch while we're out. Grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwhich cut into small pieces, and a fruit (1/2 banana, a container of mandarin oranges, strawberries sliced up), then i give her some Kix cereal, cheerioes, or goldfish if she still wants more to eat.

These are not ideal for everyday lunches, but I found new Kids Lunchables for lunches on the go. Chopped ham, cheese & mini ritz crackers. DD loves them!

We eat at home, but he loves PB/jelly sandwiches (I get the simply fruit jelly-it is so good and without the artificial crap), grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese/spinach/chicken in a whole wheat tortilla (quesadillas), bagels--(they could add cream cheese there), cinnamon raisin toast, string cheese, pasta with parmesan and butter, and a fruit: banana/strawberries/kiwi.

We do veggie burgers, tofu dogs (he likes smart dogs the best), homemade chicken nuggets/strips, pasta with spinach and sausage, or PB&Js. I also send a fruit and a veggie.

Their lunches normally consist of beans, veggies/fruit, cheese and a sandwich-type thing. (no cheese if it is a meat sandwich for us, or if I send them in with a cheese sandwich)

For meat-I take a chicken and a cup of water and put it in the crockpot for a few hours until it falls away at the bone.I break it into small pieces. It yields a lot and I freeze what we are not immediately eating.

I mix it to make chicken salad, or I give it to them plain small pieces. They really love it.For chicken salad, either on wheat toast (cut into fours), or they make mini wheat pita pockets and I half, fill with salad and give to them.

I am thinking of trying beef in the same slow-cooked fashion. Maybe a really broken-up philli-steak sandwich (in a pita) with peppers (minus the cheese)

I make mini-wheat pita pizzas, mini bagel pizzas, cut up into pieces.

Hummus or cream cheese, in pitas.

I am big on the pitas and mini bagels.... Stick out tongue

Oh yeah, they get pasta with a little sauce, or pasta with little butter, garlic and veggies.

Usually dinner leftovers - salmon, tuna, shredded chicken + veggie (brocoli, green beans, asparagus spears)

Then, I add two of the following: string cheese, banana, quarter of an avocado, yogurt or cottage cheese for snacks.
