Our toddlers daycare recently switched to cold lunches only due to possible cross contamination with microwaved meals so we’ve had to totally rethink his lunches lol. But he really gets excited about using his bento box so maybe try that and fill it with a smorgasbord of items!
Yogurt and a granola cereal is one my toddler loves, but we don’t eat this much because we rarely buy dairy.

My 2 year old great grandson loves peas, green beans, corn, bananas,bite size ravioli about anything bite size. He doesn’t care too much for candy or cookies except m&m’s which is a good thing
We mostly eat vegetarian including our pickier eater.
My son loves breakfast. He will eat scrambled eggs and sausage all day if he could. Other than that he’s kind of picky lol. He used to love broccoli with cheese and mashed potatoes but now he hardly touches them. He likes beef but doesn’t care for chicken. He loves nachos.

Mine like broc and cheese soup, stew beef with brown gravy and white sticky rice, roast, bagels, tacos, spaghetti, imitation Taco Bell crunch wrap supremes, sausage, any kind of noodle or potato, meatballs with a little sauce and parm cheese on nights I do meatball subs, pizza, chicken pot pie, raw veggies with ranch, pancakes, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, cereal with no milk, ribs, chicken, lo mein noodles, Alfredo, turkey, Salisbury steak, hamburgers, meatloaf, really any kind of meat, devil eggs
Flat bread pizzas. I use extreme wellness wraps for my base. Bonus because our toddler gets to help spread the cheese and toppings, which she loves. We top with turkey pepperoni, Canadian bacon, olives, and veggies. We do this with taco pizza as well, sub sauce for beans and salsa. Easily customizable for picky eaters.
Pizza, pasta with red sauce and Burger King chicken nuggets are the three things he’ll always eat. But he’s not really picky. Some days he’ll eat anything and everything and some days only those three things.
Literally any breakfast food. But eggs must have chipotle-flavored hot sauce 
Following cause I’m gonna puke if I gotta eat another chicken tender or nugget and fries

I have been using cresent rolls and making different kinds of roll ups and my daughters love them. I have done ham and chesse, taco, pizza, and pasta meat sauce with cheese. I pre make a couple different kinds at a time and dont take long to heat up once they are cooked.
Fried rice, shredded chicken anything, jambalaya without the seafood cuz he’s not a seafood fan except tuna , pot pies, breakfast for dinner, homemade hamburger helper type meals, egg rolls with different fillings, variety of grilled cheese sandwiches with filling like sloppy joe.
Mine loves vegetables so I do pasta made out of vegetables like zucchini and a homemade alfredo and chicken he likes peppers so I love making him fajitas. Another of his favorite meals is salmon with rice or potatoes and avocado
And in the breakfast department he likes omelets with any/every veggie (for example omelets with tomatoes avocado bacon ham and cheese) he also really likes banana pancakes
Heres a dinner suggestion smoked sausage green bean and potato dice up your potatoes put in a pot add green bean than cut up sausage put in there add a little bit of water and also the green bean juice. Cook for about 20 minutes and its done
Not sure these are different meals at all but my Toddlers favourites are Butter chicken with rice, Aussie pizza (ham cheese and egg) chilli con carne with rice and sour cream, Mashed sausages (just cooked and crushed with a fork) with carrot and peas, mild mince curry with veggies.porcupines (meatballs with rice in them) soft tacos.
Quick nights I boil noodles and just put Italian salad dressing on them. It’s like pasta salad but without all the add ins and its quick and easy. Chicken hot dogs too. (I know some parents stray from hot dogs) but they taste like bologna and my kid eats them up. Also, pigs in a blanket. We dont do them a lot because they’re a tiny bit time consuming when you’re trying to just throw dinner together but we get little smokies and just cut up some biscuits and wrap them. She loves them because she helps make them.
I make popcorn shrimp told him they were chicken nuggets and he loves them😬
Anything with cheddar cheese my kid is pleased lol
