Suggestions for easy dinners for 2yo

I'm still teaching myself how to cook! But looking for easy dinner recommendations! I have a 1yo daughter as well, and I offer some of what we're eating and if she's uninterested I give her what I know she will eat. (Normally her meat squeeze pouches and some cheese/fruit)

Toddler hates bread 😒 any alternatives for lunch?

My toddler will not eat any kind of bread, regular, sourdough, pancakes, bagels, wraps, pitta, baguettes, brioche, croissants , even scones. I’ve tried them all multiple times, and she will only pick the inside out and leave everything else. I’m really tired of having to cook her an entire meal for lunch 🙃
