Lunch Options for Toddlers

[Allison L]

Hi Stay-at-home moms!  What do you feed your pre-school age kids for lunch everyday?  I feel like we rotate between nachos, quesadillas and grilled cheese on a daily basis.  I struggle to find lunches that contain protein my daughter will eat, which is why we do so much cheese!  Would love some other ideas!

My 3yo daughter goes to school 2 half days a week, on those days she is very specific of what she wants. Its always a jelly sandwich, cut into whatever shape she picks for the day, and two snacks. Usually snacks are fruit cups, yogurt, pretzels, grapes, etc. But when shes home she usually asks for macaroni and cheese, ramen noodles, rice with butter or a jelly sandwich. At dinner she eats whatever I make for my husband and myself, but she seems to be set on the same things at lunch time. I would love some new ideas as well if anyone would like to share.
