Go-to meals? Help!

I'm a teacher and am off for the summer. DD (14 months) will be home with me. During the year she's in daycare full time. I've never had to feed her 3 actual meals a day 7 days a week (last summer she was just born so was on formula and during the school year, daycare does breakfast and lunch, just leaving me with 1 meal a day). What are some of your go-to meals for your children for breakfast/lunch/dinner? Thanks so much!

Breakfast - cereal, pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, french toast, mini bagels, oatmeal, fruit, applesauce, and yogurt

Lunch - PB&J sandwiches, grilled cheese, mac n cheese, leftovers from dinner (burgers, meatballs, pasta, etc), pizza, etc. I serve everything with some type of fruit or veggie.

Dinner - Whatever I cook for us. Pasta, meatballs, soups, burgers, mashed potatoes, chicken, baked ziti, etc.

breakfast: scrambled eggs or oatmeal, fruit are staples for us
lunch: i try to cook dinners that make for good leftovers for lunch; if i don't have any leftovers at that age i would buy applegate coldcuts and roll up a couple pieces and serve with vegetables; grill a few pieces of chicken and use that over a few days, service with chunks of sweet potato and a vegetable

Go-to meals? Help!

Breakfast- oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, cereal, scrambled eggs with turkey sausage, fruit, yogurt

Lunch- mac & cheese, chicken nuggets, pb & j, ham & cheese rollups, yogurt w/ fruit, cheese & crackers, chicken noodle soup, pasta w/ butter & parm cheese- and then as a side they have a veggie- carrots, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, avocado, pepper strips, edamame, fresh green beans

Dinner- whatever we are having. This week- chicken marsala, tacos, steak on the grill, salmon, and probably takeout Chinese on Friday night.

Breakfast- oatmeal, eggs and toast, waffles, pancakes, fruit

Lunch- usually yogurt and fruit. Sometimes cheese and crackers, pbj. Most days I'm just trying to cram a little yogurt in her between our busy mornings and her nap so lunch is nothing extensive.

Dinner- used to be anything but now she's usually holding out for whatever my picky 4yo has. Hot dogs, quesadillas, fish sticks, chicken nuggets. She likes green beans, roasted broccoli, peas, corn, cucumbers, carrots.
