The list is unending! Decide on one night time every week that will be your baking night time. Cook a entire heap of veggie truffles, Baron Verulam and cheese scrolls (so many alternatives on this one, will under no circumstances get boring!) mini pizzas, salad wraps... The list is never-ending. Freeze it all so that you just just have got to take it out the night time before. My children got here dwelling with their sandwiches everyday. Once I began mixing it up daily they got here home excitedly telling me how just right their lunch used to be :) Google is your friend right here, search 'healthful lunch field recommendations' or something an identical. You'll in finding so many extra strategies!

Answer 3

make a sandwich that your kids like and use a cookie cutter to make shapes out of the sandwiches... you could make stars, circles, flowers, etc. PB and J works good!

Try lunchables. those are always fun. you just have to watch the fat and sodium content in those and get the healthier ones.

along with the sandwich you can get multicolored goldfish. those are so cute and really yummy.

My child takes a thermous to school once or twice a week with her favorite soup and it stays hot. It is a red and while thermous specifically designed to keep food hot at least 5-6 hours. She has taken chili, chicken noodle, beef stew, veggie alphabet soup to name a few.

ants on a log are good too. it is cut up celary with peanut butter in the middle and raisins on top... hints 'ants on a log' lol they are so cute.

Answer 4

Peanut butter and banana was alway my favorite. I also like celery with peanut butter and chocolate chips on top. Hummus with pita bread is a good alternative to potato chips. Apple slices and caramel dip are good snacks too. My mom also used to use left over turkey or roast beef from the previous night's dinner to make me sandwiches the next day. Those were the best lunches.

Answer 5

The record is never-ending! Pick one night time per week with a purpose to be your baking night time. Cook a complete heap of veggie cakes, bacon and cheese scrolls (such a lot of possible choices in this one, will in no way get uninteresting!) mini pizzas, salad wraps... the record is never-ending. Freeze all of it so that you simply need to take it out the night time earlier than. My youngsters got here residence with their sandwiches daily.

Answer 6

Leftover cold pizza, cold fried chicken legs, grapes, and ANYTHING candy-like ... Smarties, gummy worms, chocolate, etc.

As long as your kids eat healthy at breakfast and dinner, it won't kill them to have some junk at lunch. Just try to get them to stay away from salt ... it's SO unhealthy, and so easy to go over the daily limit.

And, if it fits in your budget, give them some pocket change for a soda or ice cream or something like that from time to time.

DO NOT feed them the same thing day after day ... my 16-year-old used to love balogna and won't touch it now! He buys lunch every day now that he's in high school and has so many choices (and very few are healthy ... sigh!).

Answer 7

I think the best thing would be some fruits and a bottle of freshly squeezed juice. A muesli bar once a week may be a good change.

Answer 8

my kids love sandwiches but most of them don't like crust so i would make a sandwich could be pb& j or ham and chz and use a cookie cutter .. if it was feb i would use hearts or christmas .. santa things like that and then i would put carrot sticks . there are kid snack books at the book store that have a bunch of fun ideas..

Answer 9

other than some good sandwiches. See if they like chili or soup or even macs & cheese in a thermos. I used to bring that.

Answer 10

Brownies, Oreos, fudge, toll house cookies, lollipops, and carrot cake are always fun to get at lunch instead of the normal apple, pear, peach, nectarine, or orange.

Chow!!
