A recent favorite here at our house is muffin tins.
Bite sized foods. Fancy toothpicks. Variety. Colors, textures. Sweet, salty. Crunch, smooth. It's fun and they love it!
Here is one I fixed my DS4 (for breakfast actually) crasins, granola, homeade yogurt w/ sprinkles, apples, grapes and trail mix.

What are your kids' favorites?
That looks like a meal my kids would eat 
My kids also love PB&J. For a while all the 4 year old would eat was a cheese/mayo sandwich for lunch every day! He'd eat a varitey of foods for breakfast and dinner but lunch HAD to be a cheese and myao sandwich or he just wouldn't eat lunch! LOL
Kids are funny! 
Agreed!
We do a majority of fresh fruits, veggies and try and keep things as minimally processed as possible. My kids love to piece there meals together themselves, so I usually cut & prep everything and give it to them to put together how they like. All inspired by how they seem to disect everything anyway- no sandwich stays together in our house. They enjoy experimenting with it all and trying new combinations (sometimes very interesting ones!) that they end up asking me for later on. It's fun.
My second son is lunch meat. My oldest daughter is noodles. My oldest son anything dealing with hotdogs. My youngest daughter pasta.
Main dish (quesadilla, english muffin pizza, pasta, homemade chicken nuggets, turkey dog, etc)
Fruit (whatever we have fresh or if no fresh, apple sauce, or fruit cup in light syrup)
Veggie (bell pepper sticks, carrots, celery, etc...)
Side (tortilla chips, bunny crackers, pretzels, granola, etc)
We get Ramen, too, but add about two cups of frozen mixed veggies of some kind. Sometimes I throw in the tradition corn, limas, carrots, beans... or sometimes it's the california mix... sometimes it's a stir fry blend.... they will eat ANY veggie if its in soup. If we have it, I'll chop up some fresh spinach, too. It's easy, cheap, and they get a good dose of veggies. Boiled eggs or a half a tuna fish sandwich sometimes accompany it.
They love deviled eggs, too. We will often do deviled eggs and a fruit plate or salad.
Well today it's salmon salad sandwiches (with homemade yogurt instead of mayo) on fresh homemade seed bread, carrot shreds, an apple and a glass of milk. They love salmon since we almost never get it:)
Lately it's been chilly and rainy, so we've been doing a lot of soups. Although last week we were at the beach, so today feels really cold!!! They love my homemade tomato soup, veggie soup, turkey noodle soup and crazy enough vegetarian split pea soup!
How would they know...
What's the difference STATE BY STATE!
