Wha do you pack for meals? I have to pack J lunch and dinner everyday and it is already my least favorite thing about working FT. I need somenew ideas!

Already in the rotation are cheese,meat and crackers, cream cheese sandwich, chicken quesadilla, lasagna (usually store bought from trader joes) and any leftover we may have which isn't often. All are sent with fruit, veg, snack, etc.

I do almost everything.
Veggie Nuggets that Jennrs post (huge hit and hide lots of veggies)
Grilled Chicken
Turkey Sandwich
PB&J
Spinach Nuggets (http://www.veggiepatch.com/content/spinach-nuggets)
Chicken Nuggets
Steamed Veggies
Peas
Mac And Cheese with spinach, peas or broccoli mixed in
Deli Turkey
Pasta (sometimes do a little olive oil and jar of baby veggy food and parm as a sauce, or just olive oil and parm, or tomato sauce)
Meatballs
Ravioli
Tortellini
Beans (you could put some in a quesadilla)
Morning Star Veggie Burgers

If you look on my pinterest the kid friendly food (most from weelicious.com) has a lot of ideas

ETA: I also have a few amy's burritoes and annies canned pasta to use if needed

ETA: Wanted to also add
Tacos
Yogurt

For snacks:
Dried Fruit
Cereal - cheerios
Gold Fish
(I need more snack ideas...)

OK Morrigan I do a lot of that too so I guess those are the 'big hits". Unfortunately she won't eat chicken nuggets, peanut butter, grilled chicken, mac n cheese or tortellini. I think I have to just try some again. I made mac n cheese this week - she used to eat it with turkey hotdog and peas in it. This week I made it with ground beef and.........negative. This is my karma. I am the world's pickiest eater so I knew it was bound to happen

Thankfully she still happily eats her veggies!

I am so glad Elle's daycare provides all her food, she is way less picky there and gets a different thing every day. I am not sure I could do it on my own.

I know! It's a big trad-off of a small place where she is vs. a larger center where they do food.

If I was at my companies HQ in CA and sent her to daycare there, they have crazy food. Like the food they make us (organic, local, etc). That would be awesome, she'd eat way better than I could make her.

Charlie really likes the Quorn brand mini corn dogs. They are vegetarian and in the freezer section. He usually gets those once a week.

Other things he gets as his main dish: Mini Bagel Pizza (made on bagel thins), Meatballs, Grilled Chicken, Salmon sticks (we get them frozen at whole foods), cheesy rice with chicken.

I don't have anything new to add that the other ladies already haven't, but wanted to let you know that we're in the same boat as far as pickiness goes. For a while it seems as if the girls eats the same few things every day for lunch & dinner. It does recently seem to be getting a little bit better lately though, she's picked up a few more foods finally.

Leftovers are the best and easiest to send. I try to make a baked ziti, lasagna, stir-fry, etc. I will also make mac-n-cheese and mix in broccoli and cauliflower. I send sandwiches, yogurt, chips n dip, egg salad, chicken nuggets, waffles, pancakes, etc. I also always send a string cheese and then fruit and/or veggie. There isn't too much variety, but she always eats. Oh yeah she also loves when I send pizza! Sometimes I'll put in a little treat like potato chips, pudding, or jell-o.
