Answer 2

Kids love(and I do too) grill cheese sandwiches. My Mom would lightly butter two pieces of bread, but a slice of cheese between them. She would have melted some butter in a skillet or fry pan, not too much just about a pat. Let the skillet get hot then lay the sandwich down on the skillet. She would put a saucer on the top of the sandwich and get the largest can of whatever she had in the pantry and put that on the saucer to flatten out the sandwich. After lightly browning one side then she would turn it over and brown the other side. She never made enough of these, I could eat them faster than she could make 'em.

Hi Holly,

pulled chicken sandwich
cheddar cheese cubes
cantaloupe pieces
baby carrots, ranch dressing(dip)
juice or milk

take two boneless chicken breats and boil them until completely cooked through and no pink meat left. Remove from water and allow to cool. Take a fork and shred the chicken into a bowl. When all chicken has been shredded, mix with one container of barbecue sauce, place in a crock pot on low setting for 1 hour. Scoop the mixture onto buns or onto wheat bread for sandwiches. Kids cannot resist it....

good luck ~

Answer 4

Take a flour tortilla and put in on a dry frying pan over medium heat. Put some sliced cheese on one side and when its starts to melt fold the tortilla in half so it sticks together.

Cut the tortilla into narrow wedges. Pack in lunch with a little container of salsa for dipping.

Answer 5

Theres always the old fall back of sandwiches such as pb&j, but also shishkabobs with fruit, or taco salad, of course an adult would have to brown the meat, but that could always be done ahead of time and the children would just have to heat it up in the microwave. Salads can work too, you can make them fun by having alot of different ingredients and let the kids put them together just the way they like it. hope your lunches are enjoyable!
