What in the world do you pack for your kids to eat at daycare?

I need options ladies!! My girls just started daycare and next week my hubby will be taking them and picking them up 3 days a week (I will work as an RN 3 days a week) and we need easy (and hopefully relatively nutritious) ideas of food options to pack for the girls to eat at daycare. They eat basically everything that I have ever given to them....no allergies....14 months old.....HELP!!

 

Mine could live on those Gerber pasta pick ups. I should buy them by the case! They also like cut fruit, cereal bars (like Nutragrain ones), mac & cheese, some lunch meat, yogurt, pudding, I'll come up with some more and get back to you if I can. But we are currently in a veggie & meat pasta pick up, yogurt, and fruit for lunch rut ourselves.

 

While our current daycare provides snacks and lunch, we used to pack our oldest dd lunch. I'd imagine your daycare is willing to microwave lunch items. Here are some suggestions that we used to pack for her, and what I currently feed my 15 mo girls now for lunch at home:

drained chicken noodle soup
drained veggie soup
lunch meat turkey, ham
leftover chicken, turkey, pork from night before
leftover casserole
mac & cheese
cheese slices
butter bread
pasta w/ butter or oil
peaches
pears
bananas
cooked carrots, green beans, peas, etc. (whatever we had the night before)

HTH! (I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of at this hour).

 

We did a lot of what Jen (pp) did.

Mac n cheese
Drained chicken noodle soup
pasta w/butter and cheese
Sandwiches: pb&j (if its allowed), cream cheese on pumpernickel bread, grilled cheese
Stars & moons (cheese shapes)
Cut up fruit (watermelon, apples, pineapple, pears)
Cooked Veggies
Yogurt
Cheerios
Snack bags of: Goldfish, Teddy Grahams, etc

HTH!!
