My son's daycare center has requested that beginning mid-June that
parents do not send "hot" lunches (or lunches that need to be heated)
for the summer months. Not 100% sure of their reasoning behind this,
but also know that come hot weather I don't feel like cooking much
at night either - so tend to try easier things. With that in mind
does anyone have suggestions/recipes for cold lunches for a 3 year
old. Thus far he's pretty finicky but has VERY recently been more
willing to try new things. Short of P&B sandwiches, bologna & cheese
sandwiches or fruit salad I'm drawing a blank. He doesn't like tuna,
mustard, mayo, majority of cold cuts, etc. Thanks.

I used to get bologna sliced thick at the deli and use small
cookie cutters to cut it into fun shapes - do the same with
cheese and jello jigglers. You can also use one of those
tupperware butter cutters (I don't know what they are really
called but they have 4 different shapes to cut pats of butter)
and cut carrots into fun shapes and send along a small container
with peanutbutter to dip the carrots in.

How about yougurt or a make your own "lunchable" (ie. crackers, cheese, little cookie). Other thoughts are cold pasta salad or bagal with cream cheese. | |||||

My 8-month old "grandchild" eats everything already! chicken, all
vegies, veal, pork chops, chicken livers, fruits, yogurt... I
personally cook his meals and use a blender to get the right
consistency. He also loves to munch on bagels. My daughter's
pediatrician does not favor to feed foods early, I dissagree because
the longer we wait to offer new foods the more likely it'll be refused,
so now he is used to everything and "likes" all food, either salty or
sweet, hot or cold. I found out that if you keep serving the food he
does not like he gets used to it and soon or later will start to
like... (my daughter did not like peas, I kept serving them, she kept
saying "I don;t like peas" I always answered that she did not have to
like peas, only "eat it" because it was good for her... in due time she
got used to peas and now she loves them (26 years old)
Foods that come to mind: omelettes, (easy to eat, hot or cold, and can
be stuffed with anything)
chicken nuggets... also good hot or cold
potato salad (with minced ham, or extra hard boiled eggs for proteins)
macaroni salad (also enriched)
jello with fruits (dessert)
yogurts,
all kinds of sandwishes...
I hope this helps

You might browse through a sandwich `cook'book for some ideas. Like
date nut bread with cream cheese.
