toddler lunch ideas?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Help ladies! I am needing some lunch ideas for my 2yo for when she goes to pre-school next month. I don't want to seen too much processed food unless it's an in a pinch kind of thing. Any suggestions?

Also, nothing with cheese. She LOATHES cheese. I mean really, really despises it or anything with it. Grrrrrr.

pb (if there are no restrictions with other kids having allergies)-on bread or crackers

bite sized pieces of fruit (mixed or seperate depending on preference)

crackers- maybe veggie crackers or other flavored ones if dc does not like plain ones

bite sized pieces of ham or turkey (if dc likes meat)

oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies

water in a reusable type bottle or milk if dc likes milk...maybe both...sometimes i don't think kids get enough to drink in the really small containers

I've been doing this now for almost 2 years (18months - 3.5 yrs now)!

My daughter's school is nut free.

Her typical lunch always has:

Yogurt - I keep the fridge loaded
Fresh fruit - or, in a pinch, drained fruit cup

Then we change up between:
Morningstar "chicken" nuggets
Sandwich w/ nut free butter and jelly
Cuban black beans and rice
Just some cooked cubed chicken / fish / whatever we had for dinner
Homemade pizza when we have it

That's really it. It stays interesting to her by way of different fruits.
She really loves those "chicken" nuggets, I gotta admit
