      My toddlers love "lunchable" type meals.

      Cubed turkey, chicken, ham, salami etc
      Shredded cheese, string cheese
      Fresh veggies w/dip
      Club crackers, Ritz or Wheat Thins
      Fresh fruit
      Milk

      ...sometimes we also have cottage cheese or yogurt.

      Every kid I have has seconds and/or thirds or more!

            Monday:Waffles with fruit, yogurt and boiled eggs

            Tuesday: Stirfry w/sausage, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, snow peas & peppers over basmati rice.

            Wednesday: Roast beef, mashed potatoes, roasted beets & squash, steamed green beans

            Thursday: Tuna sandwiches w/ lettuce, tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts. Served with a veggie tray with hummus, pasta salad & watermelon

            Friday: Spaghetti w/ veggie loaded meat sauce or lasagna (same sauce, different noodles) & garden salad.

            All meals are served with fruit. If I don't list it on the menu it's because I'll choose which fruit to serve according to what needs to be used that day before it spoils.
            Doing what I love and loving what I do.

              Muffin tin meals - look those up on Pinterest. So fast and easy! There is a super easy pizza one the kids adore, as well as all the egg ones. I can do a month of these meals.

                  Awesome! I'll definitely look those up. My kids are all super physical with each other, so I can't really be out of arms reach from them at all for lunch prep so they either just have to wait in the high chairs or I put them in pack and plays with books, so I definitely have to have fast things!
