    Default Lunchtime suggestions for toddlers???

    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!

    mac and cheese(the micelina microwavable ones are great!)
    hot dogs, cut up really small
    frozen vegies microwaved
    frozen waffles toasted/ pancakes
    scrambled eggs(if you give her that yet)
    pasta with vegies
    yogurt(there are some great higher fat ones around)
    cheese
    bagels with cheese
    chicken noodle soup(we like the chunks and healthy choice are good and lower in sodium)

    hth!

    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).
