what to pack for daycare lunch?

DD is 23 months.  She is going to a new daycare next week, for the week. Her normal DCP is out of town on a well deserved vacation.  Her normal DC provides lunch.  This week I have to pack a lunch and snacks for every day.  I feel I need some ideas.  I'm cooking some carrots right now.  She also likes fresh beans.  I'll probably make her a small cheese or peanut butter sandwich (as long as peanut butter is okay with temporary DCP) for each day.  I also have kid sized yogurts and apple sauce. Any other ideas?

    I like to pack hummus and crackers, cereal bars, cut up fruits or fruit bowls if I am feeling lazy. I also have the advantage of my DCP heating up food too so I'll do leftovers a lot or mini raviolis, chicken fingers and mixed veggies.

    Cubed turkey breast and cheese.  Edamame.  Peas.  Grilled cheese with spinach.  I also make chick pea patties (pur?ed chick peas, sweet potato, little garlic, egg, dash of flour and water, then pan fry to set and bake in oven to finish.  They freeze well.). Leftovers.

    I send pbj sandwiches (usually rolled into a tortilla instead of bread because I'm weird and that's how I like them), leftovers, macaroni, peas, pears, oranges, applesauce, cheese, rolls, etc.  Basically anything we have on hand that DD will eat!

    Veggie burgers are very easy to send b/c they aren't messy at all. Cut up avocado is a good thing to send as well but it is messy - at least when my DS eats it. 

    Also, pasta or buitoni ravioli with a small bit of tomato sauce.

    Applegate Farms makes really great chicken strips and chicken nuggets also.
