I am really at a loss as to what to give my 15 month old DD at lunchtime. If you could please share what you feed your toddlers at lunchtime I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't thing of serving typical "breakfast" foods at lunch. That will really help because pancakes, french toast, etc. are things she likes the best. Thanks!!!
:) Kroger makes a really good multigrain frozen waffle that my DS loves(when he's in the mood for waffles, LOL).
