lunch help!

here are some basic meals i make for kids. what are some others? (my LOs go to a babysitter and i pack/cook their meal the night before)...
- quesadillas
- grilled cheese
- meatballs
- chicken nuggets
- cheese/crackers

i have NOTHING to send with them to the sitter tomorrow, lol!
i have flatbread, no wraps, and no tomato sauce to make meatballs.
help me with tomorrow please!

 

What about rolled lunch meat and cheese?

mac and cheese or other pasta
soup or spaghettios
yogurt
eggs
small bits of hotdog
sometimes just a bunch of small snacks (cottage cheese, yogurt, fruit, crackers, etc.)

 

they eat yogurt as a snack after their naps.
i have no lunch meat - they hate it. LOL. one LO will eat it and the other peels it off of his tongue. we dont really eat hot dogs....AND the kids hate mac and cheese!

 

they probably don't eat peanut butter yet, right?

do they like cream cheese? You could do a cream cheese and jelly bagel or sandwich.
are you out of nuggets?
cheese omlett
pancakes and sausage (we use a mix, but use milk instead of water to get some extra protein)
french toast
cheese

 

i make them nuggets and we are out of eggs! this is the day from he*l! LOL

 

Now see, I would be freaking out if I was totally out of hot dogs, bologna, Chef Boyardee pasta and chicken and rice, or Tyson chicken nuggets. NOT the ingredients to make that stuff :lol: If it were me I would send DH to the nearest convenient store to pick up a couple of chef boyardee microwave meals, LOL. One day of eating processed foods won't hurt 'em

 

We do:
Jam and cheese sandwhiches
PB & J
Fish sticks
chicken nuggets
egg
mac and cheese
ham (I buy the thicker cut lunch meat and cube it)
Ravioli noodles usually the cheese and meat stuffed ones (The oliveri ones)

Cant think of anything else at the moment.

 

veggie patties?

 

My guys love canned chicken noodle soup; before they could use spoons I'd fish out the noodles, chicken and veggies and let them go to town on them!

 

Peas and carrots pasta (I send you recipe if u like)
Garlic beef with mashed potato
Penne vodka (with chicken stock instead of vodka-
Chicken noodle soup with cooked veggies
Bagel (toasted with butter) or bagel bites

 

Well, I know this is a little late but it's just a food suggestion. We were out of food the other day and I was out of creativity LOL. I looked through our cabinet and found a bag of Rice Sides (like Ricaroni) and I made that up for them. They ate almost the entire thing!! I went out and bought many flavors. It is now their favorite food and as sad as it sounds, we eat it ALOT. They are kinda picky eaters so to find something they will eat until I stop feeding them is excellent!! I was very excited with this find.

 

thanks for the tips. i only tried rice one before and my one LO that eats anything ate it right up. the other - wouldn't taste it.
what is the pea/carrot pasta?

thank you everyone for the suggestions.

 

We make a lot thats on your list but once in a while I get out crackers and cheese! Any kind of cracker and the cheese is usually just American sliced cheese.

My kids like mini bagels w/cream cheese

cream cheese/jelly sammies

hummus and crackers (on todays list for lunch or snack!)

tuna and cheese grilled sammies

Pesto chicken and noodles: cooked any type of pasta, we like bow tie, cook a chicken breast, dice it, put it in a saute pan and heat through with prepackaged pesto, pasta, diced tomatoes. It is yummy!! Sprinkle on some parmesan cheese before you serve it.

 

1. Boil water. Dump in mini pasta, frozen pea and diced carrots. Cook until tender. Drain, cool and serve. Would also be good with chicken.

2. Low sodium turkey lunchmeat pieces, shredded cheese, shredded soft tortillas (turkey tortillas).
