Food ideas for toddlers

I know this has been done before, but I always find it helpful. I feel like I'm feeding Alex the same thing over and over and over again, so please list some of the things you feed your Toddler!

Here are the ones we visit all the time:
Avocado on bread
Hummus/Tahini on bread
Veggie burger
Veggie hotdog
Veggie chicken
Pasta with marinara sauce and cheese
Rotini tomato soup
Cheese slices
Peanut butter sandwiches
Yogurt and bananas
Tilapia with spices
Occasionally salmon

We don't feed Alex any meat, so I'm running out of ideas here!

No one warned us otherwise, so we tried it one day and she was fine. She loves it, but we can't give it to her for school because there's a baby in her class with a nut allergy

Do you feed her eggs?

What about french toast and pancakes?

My family makes this yummy chick pea stew dish. It has chick peas, tomatoes, carrots, celery, potatoes, onions and sometimes spinach. you throw it in the pressure cooker and it is so delicious. I mash it up for him (like hummus ) and put it on bread. We make a lot of vegeterian stews that I grind up for him.

He usually eats

pancakes
french toast
grilled cheese
eggs
yogurt
sanwiches with our meat or legumes ground up grilled in the panini maker
mac and cheese
baked pasta with bechamel sauce with ground meat

he has once or twice eaten
pizza
feta
bagel

Alas, I've tried to give her eggs in any kind of variety of forms and she flat out refuses. We haven't tried pancakes or french toast, but that's mostly because DH is a health freak and "disapproves" of them ... pffffffffffft.
