Re: Lunch ideas for 2 year old
DS will be 2 in november,and we're kind of in the same boat! its tough to think of things!
he likes:
cheese and crackers
PB&J sandwiches
rice w/veggies ( i just use Minute rice, and heat up some of the mixed frozen veggies that come in a bag)
noodles w/veggies- basically, i make a thing of Ramen, and add in some of the frozen mixed veggies and only use like part of the seasoning packet, so he doesn't get too much salt.... quick, easy, and i usually get at least 2 lunches out of one Ramen pouch 
he also likes tuna salad on crackers, too whcih surprised me!

Re: Lunch ideas for 2 year old
We cook for his lunch at the end of the weekend. Usually make 2 things and he eats them alternately with leftovers at the end of the week.
Grilled chicken breast with corn
Spinach ravioli (Costco)
Spaghetti with tomato
Soup (my mom makes it for him)
Meatballs
Scrambled eggs with avocado or tomato
Left over meat (steak or pork eaten earlier in week) with leftover potato.
If he eats a big lunch, he eats less for dinner. If he protests and eats no lunch, no food until dinner for him. We don't do snacks and so far, the kid eats.

Mac and Cheese
Hot dogs

She's at work with me everyday- so it needs to be something that can be microwaved or eaten cold.
