Re: Lunch and Dinner suggestions for 2 1/2 year old
I am right there with you, I feel she eats the same things every week:
egg salad
pizza
pastina
Grilled cheese
Tyson Chicken nuggets
Mashed potatoes
Scrambled Eggs
Brocolli with Pasta and butter, grated cheese
hamburgers (sometimes)
yogurt
pretzels
Meatballs
that is about it, It is my fault too for not trying new things

Re: Lunch and Dinner suggestions for 2 1/2 year old
We LOVE Dr. Praegers frozen products in our house. DD love every thing they make, and they're nice & quick:
fishsticks
California veggie burgers
broccoli bites
spinach bites
broccoli, sweet potato, spinach pancakes
veggie pockets
DD also likes:
scrambled eggs with cheese
grilled cheese
mac & cheese
meatballs (turkey or beef)
ravioli are a big hit in our house (I get veggie ones so I get to sneak veggies in)
sweet potatoes (regular ones or fries)
grilled chicken (or chicken tenders)
yogurt
applesauce
I'm TRYING to get her to like egg salad or chicken salad so I can bring sandwiches places, but she's being stubborn on those.

How would you even find out that a 2 year old likes gefilte fish?
My DS newest like is lamb chops. He likes to hold things to eat them.

Re: Lunch and Dinner suggestions for 2 1/2 year old
My 3 yr old is very very picky. she doesnt even really eat lunch. "lunch" consists of a string cheese and some crackers, or a yogurt and some goldfish.
Dinners I feel are very repetative too. her favs are:
pizza
hot dogs
hamburgers
turkey burgers
grilled cheese
chinese chicken and brocolli
chicken nuggets
spagetti
she loves all fruits so I always give fruit all day long.

Re: Lunch and Dinner suggestions for 2 1/2 year old
My DD decided a few months ago that she just doesn't really like meat. It is SO hard to get her to eat any of it. She won't even eat chicken nuggets.
Lunch consists of any of the following:
grilled cheese
yogurt
scrambled eggs
strawberries
vegetable soup
noodle soup
egg salad
cream cheese sandwich
pizza
Dinner:
pasta
broccoli
cauliflower
corn
sweet potatoes
Seriously - she is a great eater when I give her things she likes. But she has really cut down on her variety lately.
