School Lunch

We have to leave early to get to school around our house. My children go to school 40 minutes away, so we leave the house at 7:15am. At 6am when I am fixing school lunch I am, needless to say, unambitious and far from creative. I need help.
Kraft Foods has some great ideas to help you put some fun back into the school lunch. Kraft calls it the Lunch Box Builder. They have great menu ideas from sandwiches, wraps and salads. They include some ideas to round out the lunch like carrots, bananas, jello—some foods from Kraft, or course. They have fourteen different ideas. Enough ideas to rotate around and keep the little ones happy.
THANK YOU for that link. I’m so unimaginative when it comes to school lunches. My kids are very forgiving but I’d love to surprise them now and then. Those sandwich puzzles are ingenious!
I’m definitely going to have to check that out. That sounds like something I need. I now have 3 lunches to fix. Oy!
Thanks for the post. Given that I am a food writer I am humiliated to admit that I draw a blank whenever I try to think of ways to make my daughter’s lunch more exciting and varied. Keep the ideas coming. I have at least 10 more years of lunches to pack!
