[quote=Anonymous]For lunches, I generally make up things ahead of time, that I can pull out of the fridge.  So, I might make a batch of meatballs, serve half for the whole family for dinner, and then freeze the rest in toddler portions and pull them out when it was time.  Or I'd make a chicken for the family, and set aside some for the next couple days.  I'd always make extra vegetables, so there were steamed carrots or roasted broccoli in the fridge.   So, lunch was less cooking, and more just prepping things that were already cooked.  Then I'd have a few things in the mix that either were super fast too cook (throw some salmon under the broiler, scramble some eggs) or things I didn't need to cook at all, like whole wheat bread, Greek yogurt, frozen peas, etc . . .

I wonder if you could do the same thing.  Add to what you cook for dinner, and also have nanny prep some things for the next day during the toddler's nap.  I'd probably stick with easy formulaic things.  A protein, a whole grain carb, a veggie, and a fruit.
