Quick meals & snacks ?

Question

What are some quick yummy meals you mommas make for little one ? Also what snacks do you give throught the day ?

Answer

For dinner, he eats everything we eat. My husband works nights so he doesn't eat breakfast or lunch since he is asleep. I don't eat breakfast or lunch either.
Breakfast for my kids (4, 2, and 1) us varied. When I make the 4 y/o breakfast burritos, I make the 2 y/o and the 1 y/o breakfast quesadillas with the same ingredients. Easier for them to hold without spilling (the 2 y/o is autistic and not using utensils yet.) 4 y/o likes oatmeal but the baby and the 2 y/o don't like to be spoonfed and aren't great with utensils so they normally get something else. Other things they can all eat are french toast, pancakes, waffles, homemade granola bars, homemade healthy muffins, toast with almond butter/peanut butter/or jelly, sometimes just fruit. They all eat yogurt with all of these choices. Occasionally on busy mornings when one of them has a doctor's appointment, I may be a little bad and give them poptarts. Baby has rice milk with his breakfast (refuses all other milk.) 2 y/o has soy milk once or twice a week with his (cow milk constipates him. 4 y/o doesn't like milk alternatives and gets super constipated with plain milk. 
Lunch is usually leftover dinner from the night before if they really enjoyed it (the 2 y/o and the 1 y/o ALWAYS enjoy it). A lot of times I do chicken and rice dinners. Just chicken, celery, homemade cream of chicken soup, some cheese, peas/carrots then I add rice when it is out of the slow cooker. I usually do a big batch that goes in the fridge and lasts them 2-3 days. Sometimes I do grilled cheeses, sandwiches (the 2 y/o and 1 y/o get the sandwich ingredients just not in sandwich form, quesadillas, homemade pizza, hamburgers/sloppy joes, peanut butter flatbread, pot stickers, homemade granola or muffins. Sometimes they have veggie noodles with garlic, butter, and some coconut aminos. Usually lunch always has a side or fruit or veggies, cooked or raw. Sometimes I do crackers, lunch meat, cheese, and nuts like a homemade "lunchable." The 2 y/o and 1 y/o also like flatbread covered in peanut butter, wrapped around a banana, and cut in slices like sushi rolls. Sometimes the baby has rice milk with lunch, though most of the time he just wants water.
Snacks are always fruits and yogurt, vegetables, sometimes crackers and peanut/almond butter. My kids LOVE honeycrisp apples and almost always have an apple with their lunch and another with snacks. We go through 5-6 pounds of apples a week between the 4, 2, and 1 y/os. My middle one and the baby sometimes have pears and/or bananas instead of apples. I also usually keep a bowl of fresh mixed and cut fruit in the fridge and they eat those.
