Toddler lunch suggestions

[chody47]

Ok, I'm after some new ideas... I'm a bit stick with what to feed DD for lunch. Last year she was in childcare 4 days a week where she received a cooked lunch. On the days wher she was home I'd either feed her fruit, yogurt, canned food like spaghetti, soup, baked beans ect...

This year she is attending childcare one day a week. I'm struggling with what to feed her for lunch. I didn't mind feeding her the canned options when it was just a day a week, but I don't want to get stuck doing it more often. The trouble I have is that whilst DD will eat pretty much anything, she's not a massive fan of bread. I'm happy to do a cook up and have a few options for her in the freezer but I also need other ideas.

Does anyone want to share what they feed their toddler? (DD will generally dominate a piece of fruit or two for morning tea, so I try to avoid that at lunchtime if I can).

Faves here are:

Quiche
Picking plate (cheese, mountain bread, dip, veg sticksetc)
Savoury muffins
Left overs
Noodles with grated veg and a bit of kecap manis sauce

Chody does she like cruskits? With Vegemite, or avocado, goes down well here. Usually with some cucumber, tomato and cheese on the side.

Though at the moment DD is in a Vegemite sandwich phase - boring! But easy for me

Have you tried the different savoury tofus? DD is addicted to the sate one, cut up in fingers served cold. Great taste, preservative free and full of protein. There are 4 in a pack for $4. Pitted olives, cold sweet corn (raw or cooked), cold cooked potatoes from the night before, cold boiled eggs (also cooled in advance) are other favourites here. Also couscous salad cold with a few veggies, herbs or cheese in it is quick and easy.

Boiled eggs, cheese chunks, vegie sticks with hummus/tzatziki/avo dips or cooked vege peices with cheese sauce to dip, different types of breads, mini pizzas, corn and ham muffins, vege slice, pasta with tomato sauce (ie, home made passata/bolegnaise), fruit chunks with yogurt to dip, crackers (like rice/corn thins, ryvitas, cruskits, saos...) with peanut butter/cheese/cream cheese/ham, tuna salad (I make one with boiled baby taters or pasta spirals, corn niblets, grated carrots and green onions with a dollop of good quality mayo), cold sausages, home made soups.
Left overs are awesome. If you make a favoured meal the night before, make extra and put it in the fridge or freezer to reheat for lunch.
