Answer

She eats what we eat most nights. With the exception of things I know she just won’t eat or like at this age. Those nights I go for chicken veggie meatballs (kid fresh brand), a veggie, and some kind of starch or side dish (rice, pasta, Mac n cheese, baked fries). Some of her favorite dinners are 
chicken Marsala, noodles, broccoli
Steak, salad, potatoes 
Fajitas, rice, beans

Answer

We eat what we eat and the toddlers eat it too but if for some reason I was making a special meal for them, they love pizza, pasta, hot dogs. Peanut butter and jam sandwiches, pancakes/waffles, bacon, mash potatoes / hash browns/French fried or some mix of a couple of them.

Answer

Mac n cheese or popcorn shrimp

Answer

Spaghetti squash with meat sauce (you can make a ton of spaghetti squash ahead of time and freeze portions in zippy bags. Lay flat to save space in your freezer)  
Deconstructed tuna noodle casserole (chickpea noodles overcooked to soften them, peas, and tuna fish with mayo and mustard) 
Crock pot shredded chicken frozen flat in small portion (1 packet low sodium taco seasoning, 1/2 yellow onion diced, 1 can petite diced tomatoes with juice, cook on low for 7-8 hours and then shred) - serve with chunks of avocado, shredded cheese, black beans or Refried beans (which you can also freeze in small quantities) 
Any of the bars from the Lean Green Beans website - their Sweet Potato and White Bean bar and Carrot Oat bar are freakin awesome. You can freeze too. 🤣
Baked cod, canned green beans, canned carrots, quinoa blend 
Applesauce with blended fruits and a dahs of prunes to keep things moving. 
Notice the trend... freezer food in this house so even daddy can heat up anything. 
We also make a weekly menu bc of my girls allergies which keeps us all on track.

Our son is 2 and if we’re at a loss or he’s tried and won’t eat what we are having, our go-to ideas are:
-turkey dog
-peanut butter sandwich
-chicken nuggets
-mac and cheese 
-cheese stick
-yogurt
-fruit
-steamer broccoli or green beans 
It’s a pretty safe bet that he’ll eat those (although the veggies are hit or miss)

Answer

My son's only 11.5 months but here are some quick things I make: 
Black bean quesadilla with pico de gallo
Tuna salad on wholegrain toast (sardines are a great sub here!)
Hummus on and with anything
