If not I just give her fruits, and I usually have some easy to eat leftovers like pasta, veggies, or I'll make her a grilled cheese or something easy. But mostly we are trying to just feed her what we are having. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232265 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:25:02 +0000 regberadaisy 1232265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We typically eat leftovers for lunch so we pack the same for her.<br /> Last night we were at the ILs for dinner so DH threw something together this morning while I was getting ready. Pan seared pork tenderloin medallions, peas, apples and cuties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232243 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:19:24 +0000 HabesBabe 1232243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 16 months and has been super picky... she'll literally like something for lunch but hate it for dinner! We usually do mac and cheese, pasta &amp; marinara/meat sauce, quesadillas, rice with cut up steak or fish, or breakfast for dinner. She HATES veggies right now and will only eat peas every now and then. Ugggggh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232133 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:50:49 +0000 rawrasaur 1232133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, this is the pasta I like to use, since veggies tend to be more work than I like to put into lunch prep. </p> [attach=91/13/mwmeoq.600x361.2013-09-07-09.32.29.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232124 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:49:10 +0000 Weagle 1232124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leftovers, pb&amp;j + fruit, or pasta with veggies and cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232112 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:47:24 +0000 hilsy85 1232112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rawrasaur: ha I too have fallen into that trap (he ate the whole plate! He loved it! Great, he'll have a big dinner too!) only to be disappointed. I also hate offering othr stuff after he refuses--I try only to do it for dinner, and mainly fruit and cheese, because I'm afraid he'llw ake up (more) at night from hunger. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232106 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:46:00 +0000 rawrasaur 1232106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'm wondering about that. I hate to waste food, so I don't like offering her something different after she doesn't eat other things well, especially because I don't want it to become a habit. Usually I don't do repeats on the same day, but she seemed to like it so well the first round... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232089 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:41:15 +0000 Bao 1232089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leftovers.

I guess he gets bored? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232083 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:39:28 +0000 rawrasaur 1232083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Erm, not quite a toddler, but close enough. I like to do one fruit for sure (grapes, orange, melon, etc.), then I often do a dairy product (yogurt, cheese cubes), carb (bread or pasta), and occasionally (depending on our leftovers) a meat. Yesterday I bought a rotisserie chicken from the store just before lunch, and she gobbled it up along with half an orange and 2 cheese cubes. Then she hardly ate her dinner, which was pretty much a repeat :-/. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232082 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:39:12 +0000 hilsy85 1232082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: ha I often give him the same meals for lunch and dinner (not on the same day, but he often has chicken and veggies for lunch, and for dinner). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232060 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:32:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 1232060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: that totally sounds like our dinners! maybe I should start getting more creative with dinner..lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232047 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:27:28 +0000 autumnlove 1232047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken quesadilla, grilled turkey melts, leftovers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-toddler-eat-for-lunch#post-1232046 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:27:12 +0000 Andrea 1232046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pack things I know she will always eat since she's in school - like sandwiches, bagels with cream cheese, ravioli, chicken tenders, mac and cheese.
