  Quesidillas- nice and easy. Flour tortillas on the stove with cheese and whatever else you want in there. Cut it up for the both of you.

  I do a lot of dinner left over meat. Like chicken and ground beef. Add noodles/pasta and a veggie. Easy for both.

  lunch meat roll ups

  peanut butter and jelly on crackers with string cheese

  personal pizzas- I buy english muffins, toast them, add sauce and cheese and pop them in the toaster oven.

  here are things I find I can cook then portion and freeze well:
  
  * home-made mac n cheese (one my picky nephews/patients ate in my blog and I am editing my family favorite to post if you need a starting point)
  * pastas like bakes ziti, lasagna,stuffed shells, etc
  * soups (you can use fun shape pasta to make it more kid friendly)
  * homemade nuggets or chicken strips
  * enchilidas
  *stuffed pepper filling
  * chili
  z hamburgers/turkey burgers
  * pancakes

  We do some of the things already mentioned but at the risk of being repetitive:

  homemade chicken nuggets - slice a chicken breast, dip in beaten egg, dip in bread crumbs/salt/pepper/sometimes a little grated parmesan cheese, bake in the oven for 15 min (time will vary depending on how think you cut your meat) at 400, turn over halfway through.

  favorite pasta shape with basil pesto, simple marinara, cheese sauce

  quesadillas - ham/cheese/spinach, mushrooms/carrots/red peppers/mozzarella, chicken breast/yellow peppers/tomatoes, pesto/mozzarella/tomatoes

  english muffin pizzas - great way to sneak some veggies in

  pita pocket sandwiches

  Greek pasta salad - tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese

  pastry triangles - I buy frozen pastry, defrost, put whatever filling is in the house (similar things to what is in quesadillas), shape into triangles the size that DD can hold, bake

  veggies sticks and dipping sauces (all homemade) - honey mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, yogurt, etc.

  Hope that helps some. A Google search for toddler meals might give you some more ideas as well. GL and congrats on baby #2!

  All the above is great.

  We also do mini pizzas on english muffins or pitas.  Pick your crust, then top with tomato paste and an italian season mix, add cheese and pepperoni (or whatever toppings you like).  Bake in oven 350 for 15ish min.

  We do roll ups or wraps.  Like a sandwich but in a tortilla.

  I will just do cracker and cheese tray with fruits and veggies as well.

  Leftovers from dinner are also a favorite at our house.
