It has been so busy for papa and I that there has not been too much cooking going on. We've managed to get in a chicken stew and a turkey stir fry which is not too bad because that's really 4 nights of eating home cooked food since I always make enough for leftovers! From Monday to Friday I need to make sure Molly goes to day care with a nutritious and well rounded lunch. On busy weeks the ideas run short and it is too tempting to send PB&J every other day. While these toddler lunch ideas are not culinary gems, they hopefully will help inspire busy moms to keep giving good food to their kids for all their meals. Thank goodness Molly loves fruit and will always eat any fruit I send! I've been watching Quesadillas!!
always use whole wheat tortillas and good quality shredded cheese
filling ideas:
low sodium sliced turkey (we like trader joe's brand)
ground turkey sauteed with spinach puree and tomato paste
green peas (yes, Molly likes these now)
sliced hard boiled eggs
