Toddler breakfast and lunch ideas?

For breakfast you can have cut up scrambled eggs, bagels, french toast sticks with syrup, yogurt with some cereal crunches on top, or one big pancake with eyes made of butter, a nose made out of a slice of banana, and a smile made out of bacon. You can make the pancake more fun by adding some food coloring to the batter. For lunch you can have some lunch meats rolled up, like ham, turkey, salami, etc., peanut butter and jelly on crackers, cream cheese and crackers, grapes, sliced apples and peanut butter, celery and peanut butter, cut up hot dog, cut up hamburger, chicken nuggets, or macaroni and cheese. Pre-made toddler meals are always good too. For a drink you can have milk, orange juice, apple juice, chocolate milk, fruit smoothies (blend ice, milk, and a fruit like strawberries or bananas in a blender), or iced tea. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Have you tried the toddler meals that are put out by Gerber and other baby food companies. Veggies are great.

Does she attend a day care, or are you just at home? Crackers and meat is a good sandwic alternative. Why do you say she won't eat sandwiches? start with something like a fluffernutter (peanut butter and marshmallow fluff). Even if she takes it apatrt it's okay, kinda messy but fun! How about hot dogs and burgers? Breakfast, eggs, waffles, french toast, what do you eat your toddler can eat the same!!

Tyson chicken nuggets or Morning Star Farms veggie chickin nuggets for lunch is a hit at our house...so is canned pasta from Chef Boyardee (mini raviolis or the ABC pasta).

For breakfast try mini bagels with cream cheese, French toast sticks, or scrambled eggs. My toddler also like Nutrigrain bars for breakfast with milk.

For breakfast: muffins, fruit or vegetable breads, egg or scrambled egg "toad in a hole" (egg in circle cut into a slice of bread), breakfast burritos, French toast, yogurts (get plain yogurt and add different fruit preserves.

For lunch: lunchmeat rolled up with cream cheese or egg, homemade "lunchables" (cut lunchmeat into shapes with cookie cutter or knife and serve with crackers), English muffin pizzas

Remember, if you'll serve it to her for breakfast, you can serve it to her for lunch and dinner, too. In my house, nights we have breakfast for dinner are the most popular.

How about quesidillas (with refried beans to hold it together instead of cheese) with some salsa to dip it in.

Hard boiled eggs and grape tomatoes are a favorite of my toddler.

Since she likes cream cheese, would she try a roll-up? Cream cheese and olive, say, spread and cut up to look like spirals?

Pasta (fun kinds) multi colored pinwheels by barilla with a bit of sauce. Heat up some frozen veggies, corn, peas and carrots, try yogurt, pierogies are good! Fish sticks, fresh fruit - watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, grapes, blueberries, strawberries - all good. Mini bagel pizzas, (get the wheat bagels), tuna fish, hummus, fluff up one egg, add a bit of milk - cook it flat - flip it, add veggies and serve it as a mini om let. Try cold cuts with no bread - roll them in lettuce. try rice dishes.

I took cookie cutters and cut french toast or pancakes in to little shapes and letters to make it more interesting. When I cut out a shape or a letter I would ask her what it was it was or I would cut up all differt colored fruit and we would learn colors.

I have a 14 month old, and for breakfast he has nutrigrain bars and yogurt . And for luch he either eats a cut up hotdog with diced up cooked carrotts or rolled up deli meats with town house crackers. He likes grilled chees sandwiches and PB N' J also or sometimes I'll make him a half of bagel and give him some olives with it he really likes it cuz he can feed all of these things to himself. It gives them a kick to try new things if you let THEM do it themselves.
