Lunch ideas

[kia027]

for picky wannabe vegetarian kids

must be easy to prepare

must be able to stay in container

must be able to use reusable containers

must not contain the evil peanut butter

any suggestions?

Re: Lunch ideas

How picky are they Kia? I mean what do they not like to eat. Can they heat up anything at school? Here are a few ideas:

Pita bread filled with hummus and roasted red pepper
Veggie bagels with cream cheese
Cheese and tomato sandwich
Greek salad sandwich
Tofu, lettuce, and avocado wrap
Fruit salad with pecans and honey
Bean and cheese burrito
Veggie stir fry with cous cous

my town is very bland when it comes to food - they missed the diversity bus

No they dont heat up personal lunches at school unless it is what they ordered from school

Re: Lunch ideas

Sigh. It's that time again. The blasted cussied school lunch. The bane of my existence I HATE making lunches. I think I need some new stackable containers.

How can I keep the lettuce crisp aka not soggy for sandwiches. ? I usually wash the lettuce in the morning.

Kia browse vegweb.com for recipes.

Re: Lunch ideas

Gen will she add the lettuce if you pack it separate in foil? that's what I do with my sandwiches ... bread and jam would be good enough for this one every day if you allow him but he will sometimes eat the mac and cheese or pizza since they access to a microwave

Re: Lunch ideas

Yes twiney so far mi been packing it separately. Was just wondering if unno do anything different.
