What's on LOs lunch menu?

stuck322 · May 2012

Most days I have no idea what to give O for lunch. Breakfast and dinner are easy, but lunch has me stumped. What's on your LOs menu?

CarlaAndJames · May 2012

lunch is usually dinner leftovers around here

Some kind of meat - chicken, ground beef, roast, pork chop, like I said, whatever we had for dinner. Various steamed veggies, pasta if we've had it that week for dinner, bread or crackers and hummus, etc. Cheese, cottage cheese, go over pretty well too.

Veggie burgers, Leftovers, cheese sandwich, macaroni, quesadilla, low sodium soup with the broth drained so he just eats the veggies and noodles, deli meat once in awhile...

If I don't have leftovers I give her beans, a veggie, a fruit and some crackers. I made her a cheese and avocado quesadilla the other day and that went over very well, so we might do that more often.

What I packed for tomorrow's lunch:

1/2 banana

about 1/2 cup strawberries/pears/peas/broccoli

peanut butter on whole wheat bread (a quarter of a sandwich)

plain yogurt

string cheese

We usually do leftovers from dinner too, but some days I just send random stuff. Daycare doesn't judge ;-)

N eats lots of wraps, burritos, quesadillas, etc. I can throw pretty much anything in one so they are super easy. Beyond that it's usually leftovers from dinner the night before.

Same as PPs. Either leftovers or a mish-mash of everything....chick peas, beans, string cheese, yogurt, tomatoes, cucumbers, bread with peanut butter, etc.

Usually it's some kind of leftovers. Today she ate spaghetti broccoli and chicken for lunch. Tomorrow I have no leftovers. She will prob have some kind of veggie, meatball and crackers or toast.

I need some help with lunch, too! I usually give her a combination of some of the following:

cottage cheese

cheese cubes

steamed veggies like carrots, squash, broccoli, cauliflower

diced fruit

pasta with sauce (she loves this but it makes such a big mess!)

diced chicken

We''re still on purees here. I cannot get him to swallow table food still, so he only gts table foods when I'm there

Like other, a lot of times it's leftovers paired with a veggie & fruit. Otherwise, these are the foods in our regular rotation:

crackers & hummus

cheese cubes and crackers

cottage cheese

yogurt

grilled cheese

I'll just add in a fruit or veggie, or in some cases (like cottage cheese & yogurt) I'll put in a Kashi cereal bar (he loves those things!)

Right there with you. Well, we just added cheese to the list of finger foods he'll swallow. It's now up to Puffs, cheez its, banana, and cheese. I can't believe some of these things other kids are eating!
