Anything spicy is good for toddlers. They love peppers and chilies. Also, small hard foods are best. Like nuts, hard candy, whole grapes. Make sure to keep their sippy cup full of Mountain Dew or kool aid at all times.

Why are fans asking these questions and why are you posting them on a nails page?

Small cut up cooked veggies. Banana cut up small. Small chunks of Grilled or boiled chicken. Spagetti (beware!!! Strip them down first to a diaper). Pretty much anything you can eat as long as itā€™s cut in small pieces if they have teeth (which they should at this point). If feeding hot dogs, grapes, or anything ā€œroundā€ in shape make sure to quarter the slices so they donā€™t choke, and definitely donā€™t feed them nuts until after the age of 5. Peanut butter is ok, but keep an eye on them incase they have issues swallowing it. Someone should be watching kids eat anyhow, because you never know when theyā€™ll try to shove too much in their mouth and possibly choke.

Fruit veggies biscuits bread milk etc

When Iā€™m in a rush or lazy, lunchables.

Get a thermos and put chix noodle soup or any kind (drain out most juice) to stay warm, raviolis spaghettios, left over spaghetti all warmed up then put in thermos!! freeze go-gurts! applesauce. PB sandwich, or PB & J. String cheese (any cheese) & crackersā€¦ juice boxes are easy bc less dishes :rofl: celery, cucumber slices, watermelon, apples, cut grapes, strawberries, blueberriesā€¦ u can make ur own little lunchable with ur choice of meat, chz, crackers!

I just recently found this Youtuber and they make cute bento lunches for their kids https://youtu.be/GevuA6mhJd0

Raw meat!!! Please the beast they leave you alone!!

Fruit (any kind they like) with yogurt to dip in it, scrambled eggs with cheese, cut up sandwich, my kids used to love noodles of any kind with any sauce or Mac and cheese with cut up sausage, hot dog or bacon in it, ham and cheese ā€œroll upsā€, cheese quesadillas, cottage cheese, beans and rice, those were some of my kids favorites when they were little

Avacado mac n cheese ā€¦ and use the pouches that have veggies and fruits. Or cut up green beans carrots. ā€¦Google it they have sample menues

At that age certain things like grapes unless u take the time to cut them in small pieces a 2 yr old can choke on them. When my grandkids are here I got both of them into loving yogurt. I always had yogurt in the house and my grandbabies will actually choose it over junk.

I like to make pin wheels they love them and they are not very messy

I used to do a mixture of meat, cheese, crackers, bananas and a veggie with dip. My kids did better with varieties of finger foods that covered the food groups.

Is this the new Google?

I usually just ask her, answers vary. Macaroni and cheese, hotdogs, ramen noodles, cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets.

Unfollowing this page. Smh

So my answers will probably be unpopular because my kids donā€™t eat any junk
We do nitrate free ham in rolls, a slice of organic cheese, brocolli carrots etc, and a piece of fruit, leftovers of our whole clean dinner from the night before, udies and annies both make some pretty healthy frozen ravioli or veggie Mac options. Sometimes quesadillas on whole wheat tortillas with organic cheese nitrate free ham or turkey or even left over grilled chicken etc and then a veggie for a side. There r a few healthy hot dog options and then u can do a quick veggie steamer for a side.

My daughter liked hard boiled egg,

I am honestly bewildered by this questionā€¦your kidā€¦do you not know what your kid likes?

Pb and J, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, mac and cheese, carrots with ranch, and lots of fruit. My kids love watermelon, grapes, apples, blueberries, and pears.

Homemade lunchables, fresh fruit or veggies tray, mini pizzas, sandwiches, Corndogs, nuggets, cheese sticks, etc. Literally anything.

Step 1. Put food in front of toddler. Step 2. If they donā€™t eat it, itā€™ll be waiting for them when theyā€™re hungry enough

I didnā€™t realize this was a parenting page. The title has absolutely no indication of that :thinking:
