Help - what to put on the menu for a toddler lunch?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I've got two toddlers coming over for a playdate with DS on Sunday at noon and I offered to host lunch - what in the world should I make? Normally we feed DS our leftovers but I don't think we want to try to put all three kids in high chairs and give them our leftovers. Ideas?

    DD is a big fan of dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. Those could be fun for the kids with some cut up sweet potato wedges and its not messy.

    Last time LO had a friend over, I melted cheese in a folded over large tortilla and then cut it up into little squares ... super easy.. and then also gave them pinto beans... they both ate it up and it was really easy. 
    Just an absolute casserole of nonsense.

    Grilled cheese, chicken nuggets (I like the Dino ones too)

    DD has chicken nuggets, homemade mac and cheese w/ chopped up broccoli pretty often for lunch.  You could also throw in some sliced apples or mandarin oranges too.  Nila Wafers or Teddy Grahams for desert and your done!

    grilled ham & cheese sandwhich?  That's one of Harry's favorites.

    I vote chicken nuggets with a veggie and cut up fruit. Or mac and cheese if they won't eat a vegetable.

    What are these dino nuggets I keep hearing about??

    I think I have the pickiest toddler ever. One day he'll eat something and the next he won't.. I've tried the wait and they'll eat it if they're hungry idea from the pedi but even that doesn't work and he walks over to the pantry and points to what he wants. But he will for the most part always go for chicken nuggets. I'd like to try these and they must not be horrible b/c I always see them pop up around here.

    I buy the Weaver dinosaur breast nuggets. I make her 3 or 4 and a side of peas or pasta or something.
