  For lunch I give my dd different combinations of the following things each day.  Yogurt, toast, applesauce, cheese, sliced turkey, cottage cheese, and cut up fruit.

  DS LOVES grape tomatoes cut in half. Or whole peas, carrots, corn, buns, cheese, and many, many other things. Quite often he eats cut up pieces of whatever we eat...sorry, I didn't read your other post yet.

  hard boiled egg yolk is easy, avacado, low sodium turkey breast, and yogurt were some of my staples.

  I take DD to daycare 3 days a week and we have to pack a lunch for her, so you could do the same so your aunt doesn't have to cook.

  I usually pack about 6 different things, but I'm pretty sure that the other kids don't have that many choices, but I think she eats more with more variety, and this is her snacks as well as lunch.

  So I pack:

   2 fruits - Cut up strawberries, canned peaches or pears, mandarin oranges, apples (I used to nuke these to make the soft, but now I just cut very thin slices and cut them into strips like french fries), quartered grapes, mango chunks.

  2 veg - peas, cooked carrot, grean beans, broccoli, sliced black olives

  1-2 protein or starch or dairy - usually this tofu cubes or leftover meat from our dinner, so cubes of chicken, pot roast, meatloaf, meatballs, hot dogs (quartered then sliced), cubes of cheese, plain noodles

  It might not be too hard for your aunt to cook something.  Especially if she has a microwave.  We're at the point were DD can eat almost anything we eat, so warming up pasta with alittle cheese, turkey or anything else she has on hand may not be a burden at all.  If she's a healthy eater, I would give her some guidelines and talk about it.  I'd stock her up with some fruit cups, veggies, waffles, crackers and other basics and see if it works out. 

  My darling daughter just turned 4 years old.
