Mommy What's For Lunch?

While browsing Facebook this week one of my old co-workers asked the age-old question: "What do you serve your kids for lunch?" Seems like such a simple question, but when you are dealing with a 2 year old--who can be super picky--this question seems more like a complex math equation.

Since I am not really cooking anything "new" this week, I thought it might be fun to list the kid friendly foods we reach for in our house--both homemade and prepackaged.  I am the Queen of freezing, so I usually make huge batches of the homemade items listed below, freeze them, and store them in small Ziplocks so I can nuke and serve.

Please feel free to add your favorite go-to lunches in the comments section!
