Meals on the go for 18 month old

[BusyBee2017]

I straggle with meals on the go with my 18 month old.

I have no problem with snacks as I take out fruit and breadsticks, carrot sticks and dips but I struggle with meals on the go which are okay cold just in case there is no way of hearing up a meal on the go.

Obvious one are sandwiches but I wanted more ideas please so I can take out meals with me for my LO if we don't get back in time for lunch or dinner.

If I leave an hour before his lunch I will heat his food up and put it in a tub so it will be slightly warm by the time he comes to eat it but I am struggling with meals in the go which he can eat cold.

Struggle not straggle lol

The BLW cookbook has a few ideas for sandwich alternatives to make into a meal - things like cheese and spinach muffins, cheese flapjack, lentil slices, quiche.

Marking place - my dd really isn't into sandwiches so I find it hard too

Pasta salad?

Cold home made pizza/mini muffin pizza?

Quiche or tarte of some kind?

Wrap spread with cream cheese or hummus and sliced into "wheels" or pasta with chunks of cheese/ham. TBH I still struggle with this as 3.5yo DS doesn't like sandwiches!

Yeah my DS doesn't like sandwiches either ... he rarely touches them when I make them but my mother in law has fed him sandwiches twice!

She told me he almost has two breads once!!! He had three squares !

I need to make or buy some quiches and look into the other dishes

Thank you everybody

I occasionally do jam sandwiches which go down well but obviously not great for everyday

We eat a lot of quiche! It's so easy and versatile!

How about a pasta salad / tuna pasta? Falafel (bit dry on its own, you'd need a dip). I made a frittata thing a while ago - cook pasta till almost ready, then mix in an omelette kind of mix, some spinach, cherry tomatoes, cheese, and bake in the oven for a bit. Slice it like a quiche. Or a pick and mix kind of lunch. Ham, blocks of cheese, carrot sticks, cucumber and crackers or Ryvita (or just bread).

My kids have always liked cold potatoes and cold roasted sweet potato too.

Thank you everybody very useful tips there

I will have to try a few dishes for him and see how it goes .. at least then I won't be worrying about him eating too many snacks and he can have meals whilst out ....
