What did the kids have for lunch today?

We are stuck in a food rut over here and need some new ideas!

Re: What did the kids have for lunch today?
for the 18th month old I made:
1)Grilled Chicken breast
2) Peas with butter
3) Sweet Potatoe with a little brown sugar, and butter
4) Soymilk in her sippy cup:)
She and I both had chicken salad and milk, while I nursed the baby.
I have been obsessed with making chicken salad lately; it's so easy and so good. This is my recipe if you're interested (all measurements are estimates; I just kind of eyeball it):
About two cups of shredded chicken (I pull it from a rotisserie chicken)
About a cup each of finely chopped celery, carrots, and walnuts
About a cup of quartered red grapes
About 2/3 cup of mayo (I use olive oil mayo or canola oil mayo from Whole Foods)
Dried dill to taste (this makes the recipe!)
Onion salt to taste
Ground black pepper
Blend the mayo and seasonings, then add the veggies. Add the chicken last and mix gently. Enjoy!
Nothing exciting today. We went to the park on a picnic. PB sandwich, goldfish, cheese, and fruit salad.
Other ideas:
beans
stir fry veggies over rice
steamed veggies
fruit and dip
cheese rollups
lunch meat roll ups/wraps
cottage cheese
mac and cheese
chicken tenders
leftovers
pasta salad
spaghetti
soup
smoothies
yogurt
pizzas on pita, french bread, or tortillas
Two of my girls ate homemade pizza pockets and cut up apple and water. My other DD ate ham sandwich, chocolate pudding, cherries and juice. I have no idea what I am having.
We were out taking care of some errands so we met DH at McDonalds today. They both has chicken nuggets and milk.
Yesterday they ate deli turkey, cheese, yogurt and fruit and milk.
DD#1 lunch box--mini bagel (2) w/ mixed berry cream cheese, string cheese stick, mini flavored rice cakes, strawberries, celery w/ PB & milk.
DD#2 & #3 has something similar but less stuff--just the bagel, strawberries & some gold fish. DD#2 had celery w/ PB as a snack.
DD had a spinach and tomato wrap pinwheel style (whole wheat tortilla, cream cheese, spinach leaves and fresh tomato skinned and cut up), a banana and a cup of yogurt with honey.
Some other ideas in our regular rotation: turkey and havarti cheese wrap with avocado spread, mac and cheese with homemade chicken nuggets, pasta salad, all kinds of quesadillas, tuna salad, chicken salad, leftovers from dinner the night before.
