What is/did LO have for lunch today?

MrsHurricane6610 · July 2012

I feel like I'm in a lunch-rut...I need to try something different with DS.

What did your LO have for lunch today?

Andie_83 · July 2012

Z had ravioli and string cheese today. And watermelon for dessert

I was (still kind of am) in a food rut in general. Someone posted an awesome link a few days ago about food ideas for LO. It really gave me a ton of ideas and things that I'd never thought to try.

MrsHurricane6610 · July 2012

Thanks! I'll go look for that link :-)

Well, today shouldn't count... I sent him with leftover pizza! I normally get his bag ready once he goes to bed, but last night he decided not to go to bed until 10:15... so I didn't have too much time to get him ready.

Breakfast - yogurt and fruit
Lunch - pizza
Snack - Pineapple, if he needs it.

The last little bit of pumpkin mac and cheese, a slice of blueberry baked oatmeal (which she also had for breakfast but she LOVES), peas and carrots, and half of a little pizza I made with a whole wheat sandwich thin, tomato sauce, and cheese.

Pesto pasta salad and Rice Krispie chicken.

pregarella · July 2012

Chickpea patty and some steamed cauliflower with some cilantro dressing on top. She used to love plain veggies but now I have to add flavors to everything to get her to eat.

Rachel5782 · July 2012

Veggie burger, babybell cheese and Wheat tortilla...hey whatever works. Lol

RingOfFire11 · July 2012

Baked chicken, roasted cauliflower and most of a nectarine.

Handful of Great Northern beans, string cheese, a few blueberries, a few french cut green beans, a couple pieces of a broccoli bite <--- these are SOO good, I think I ate like 5 of them myself Embarrassed

M has turned into quite the finicky eater, so every meal, I just end up throwing anything and everything on her tray in hopes that she'll eat something.

nic5606 · July 2012

My little guy still does not eat well and he has a cold =(

A few pieces of cut up cantelope, 3 wheat ritz crackers and some turkey.

Usually a veggie burger/Morningstar "chicken" nuggets or Gardein veggie chicken strips. We split an avocado and usually he has applesauce or watermelon. Today I was so exhausted I re-heated homemade mac and cheese from dinner last night. Grilled cheese with pesto and spinach is a constant too.

These do sound good! I may have to make some of these up. We're having a really hard time getting Ty to eat veggies. He did great on them pureed, but not so much in bite-size pieces.

waterfall11 · July 2012

Tried to feed her spinach turkey meatballs (which she usually likes) but she wasn't interested in eating. She did have milk and cucumber. Usually she would have eaten all this and fruit but between teething and being tired she was not in the mood to eat.

We boiled some noddles and when they noodles were boiling, I toss an egg in. Once the noodles are soft and egg is cooked, I take it out and add some cheese. She loves this! One of my "go-to" lunches on days I can't be creative.

Ashley40705 · July 2012

Bubba had a grilled cheese and some mango. Not too creative today, lol!

amberpro · July 2012

We're bad today- we spent the afternoon at the pool so it was a "picnic" of sorts. He had a PBJ (uncrustable), goldfish, grapes, and string cheese.

gymnst1013 · July 2012

Chicken enchilada, guacamole and raw green pepper

Yeah, M doesn't eat veggies either, except the occasional steamed broccoli. She wasn't wild about the broccoli bites, but she ate some which is good for her. I recommend steaming your broccoli first then chopping it up really small. The patties hold together better. Also, they can stand a little extra seasoning if the adults plan to eat them too. I added garlic powder, and they're really good dipped in ranch!

Diver0214 · July 2012

Today we went out so she had pizza and mostacolli. Usually she will have bologna or salami and fruit. Lately she loves veggie straws too.

CarlaAndJames · July 2012

thanks for the broccoli bite recipe! i have some cauliflower ones in the oven now!

amypogg6 · July 2012

Em had baked beans, cheddar cheese and watermelon. She hadn't been eating much lately. Those are her favorite things and she just picked at them today.

M&M227 · July 2012

DD had a quesadilla with broccoli, corn and cheese in it. I made it yesterday and gave her half yesterday and half today, she loved it with the veggies in it and that's the only way I have found to get her to eat broccoli (but I'm trying the broccoli bites listed above), milk, cantelope, and we tried dipping cucumbers in hummus but she just scoped up the hummus and ate it off her fingers, then nibbled the cucumbers.

LO had carrots, applesauce and ritz crackers for lunch at daycare.

Dinner was a banana apple pancake, blueberry yogurt and a scrambled egg.

march2008 · July 2012

turkey/cheese roll-ups (Applegate Farms brand deli meats/cheese- organic; highly recommend!!) with steamed zucchini and broccoli

Jaytee501 · July 2012

Turkey&Spinach Burger (I make them small with some grated onion & seasoning, freeze them)

Sweet potato (I cube it, put a little unsalted butter, sometimes sprinkle cinnamon)

Green beans

Canteloupe

kenyakeetah · July 2012

I can tell that you are from the Midwest! No one where I live now knows what mostacholli is! Yum!

Also, my DD loves veggie straws too. Have you tried the apple cinnamon straws? They are really good and don't have a lot of sugar in them.
