Ok so L has been all weird about lunch and I'm running out of ideas- he also wont eat the gerber meals anymore (can't blame him)...

so what are your top 3 lunch ideas for your toddlers? (I feel like he eats the same thing EVERYday...)

    Leftovers, dino nuggets, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, mini veggie pizzas (on english muffins), PB&J, homemade "lunchables" (ham & cheese & wheat crackers)

    They have some kind of veggie on the side & usually a fruit after

    It pretty much comes down to PB&J sandwiches, grilled cheese, mac n cheese, or turkey and cheese roll-ups.

    Oh, quesadillas are good too! I throw whatever I can find in the fridge in there ;)

    Evan has PB&J every day. But sometimes I make it with white bread instead of wheat to mix it up a little.

    I do more variety with dinner. I got sick of making a thousand things that he wouldn't touch for BOTH meals.

    Stella is loving soup these days.  It's really messy but she gobbles it up.  I buy low sodium or healthy request varieties. 

    Ham & cheese roll ups

    WW pasta w/ parm. cheese

    When I'm home-dino nuggets, mac n cheese, ramen noodles (she loves them and asks for them all of the time!), yogurt. Today she had a cheeseburger that was leftover from dinner. And she always asks for like 3 different fruits-she'd eat that all day long!

    For daycare we send sandwiches a lot-either turkey and cheese or PBJ. Or we'll send some hard boiled eggs-she loves them!

    Not sure what kind of stuff he will eat at this age (my DD  is picky).  But sandwiches, cheese/crackers, grapes, cottage cheese, yogurt, pretzels, apple slices, dried fruit (like the really light/crispy Brother's All Natural), animal cookies, rice/rice pilaf/cous cous/israeli cous cous, mac n cheese, noodles, spaghetti, hummus in a pita.

    Evan loves soup too. I make lots of homemade soups and freeze them in small amounts for lunches. I usually add lots of whole wheat pasta to his, so it's less broth and more "stuff" I'll also do the healthy request tomato soup and make it w/ milk instead of water and add in some frozen peas/carrots and pasta.

    Besides that he eats lots of PB&J... he loves it, and would probably eat it 3x's a day if I let him! I make it on ww bread and use the organic/natural pb so it makes me feel a little better. And I made a bunch of strawberry and blueberry jam this summer w/ low sugar.

    Grilled cheese, pb&j, ham or turkey (usually not as a sandwich) with string cheese, dino nuggets.

    I feel like we feed him the same things all the time for lunch, but there are some typical "kid foods" he won't eat like pizza and mac and cheese. And although he loves grilled cheese, but won't touch quesadillas. I know, he's weird.
