What do you pack your 1yr old for lunch at day care!
I feel like she eats the same stuff!
Either ham/cheese wrap pieces and a veggie pouch
Or black bean/veggie burger pieces with pasta or a veggie pouch
We need ideas!

We do a lot of deconstructed meals so beans, cut up cherry tomatoes/cucumbers/fruits, cut up cheese sticks, hummus and pita, sunflower seed butter and jelly sandwiches, and she loves the frozen mixed veggies (corn, peas, carrots and green beans) so I'll cook a big batch of those and out those in her lunch.
I've also offered leftover Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, mini waffles and cut up tofu hot dogs but those got rejected because our daughter is a weirdo. Aren't kids supposed to love those things?

Following! DD is 11 months and starting to refuse purees/pouches, cause they're just not cool anymore...
We do any of the following, cut into pieces: pancakes, chicken sausage, green beans, ravioli/tortellini, cheese, mandarin oranges, orzo (with parmesan and basil...leftover so it clumps a bit. Easier to pick up). I'm also going to try: healthy muffins, chickpeas, sweet potato fries, strawberries, avocado, quesadillas.

I just finished getting her food ready for tomorrow. For lunch she will probably have the chicken, grapes, tomatoes, and strawberries.
Sometimes I'll heat up frozen meatballs or turkey meatballs (get them from trader joes) and give those as the protein. Mac and cheese is her favorite, so we do that a lot. -
Usually leftovers, pbj, meat/cheese roll ups, drained veggie soup. Then I do a fruit or a veggie, a string cheese, yogurt and a fun snack (cheddar bunnies, yogurt raisins, etc.)

Mandarin oranges

we have a nanny but typically he eats a combo of the following, sort of bento box style. Lots of leftovers from dinners (pastas, stew parts, taco meat, leftover pizza) and also stuff like avocado hunks, deli meat, string cheese, veggies (cherry tomato, cucumber slices, pickles, cooked carrots, green beans, broccoli). Fruit and yogurt is reserved for snacks because if he is offered it, that's all he will eat! He doesn't really do pouches anymore.

Back then it was a combination of the following
baked chicken pieces
pasta / rice / bread
cheese (cut up from cheese stick)
black beans / kidney beans
steamed broccoli
steamed carrots
peas
hard boiled egg
fried egg
fresh fruit (apple, orange, cantaloupe, watermelon, blueberries, strawberries, avocado)
tofu
mini cheese sandwiches -
My child lives on meatballs, cheese, fruit of all varieties, avocados, eggs and carbs (toast, crackers, etc.) At daycare he eats yogurt, cereal or french toast for breakfast and they feed him lunch - which is anything from sun butter and jelly sandwiches to beef and broccoli or chicken fried rice (its a Chinese daycare, lucky him!). They have pizza on Fridays.
He seems super picky lately and will no longer eat fish, quinoa, chicken or really any vegetables. Its super annoying

For the most part, we would just pack her some leftovers from what we had at dinner or give her a part of our lunch. We would throw in a pouch or a favorite snack to change it up sometimes.

We more or less pack her leftover's from dinner the night before!
