When you homeschool--or provide sack or boxed lunches for your children in school, you can sort of get into a rut with what you offer. I'm getting tired of being asked daily--"What can we have for lunch, so I'm compiling a list to give my kids, and myself, some ideas. Here's what I have so far:
PB and J
Lunch Meat Sandwich**
Meat Roll-up**
Egg Sandwich
Cold Cheese Sandwich
Grilled Cheese Sandwich (and Tomato Soup)
Grilled meat and cheese sandwich
Quesadilla (in pan or microwave)
Bean Burrito
Quesadilla with beans on it
Tostada with refried beans
Refried Beans and Chips
Grilled Chicken Roll-up or tacos
Leftovers
Homemade Soup if available
Canned Soup
Crackers and Cheese, Fruit
Cottage Cheese and Fruit
Yogurt, Fruit, Piece of Toast
“Finger Food” (Could include: Lunch Meat**, Cheese, Nuts, Seeds,
Dried Fruit, Fruit, Cut-Veggies,Triscuits or Wheat Thins,
Granola Bar, etc.)
Tuna Sandwich (could be on Pita Bread)
Tuna and Crackers
Tuna melt
Macaroni and Cheese (Need to have time to cook)
Pizza Bread
Frozen Pizza
Cheese Toast with or without Tomato
Baked Potato (Plan it in the morning, needs 40-60 minutes to bake)
Salad w/ chicken, lunch meat**, boiled egg, cheese or feta cheese &
sunflower seeds
Scrambled Eggs and Black Beans (Plan ahead: Thaw beans)
Scrambled egg roll-up
Egg Salad Sandwich (Plan ahead: Boil eggs after breakfast)

**Make sure you're buying lunch meat and hot dogs without nitrates in them. Oscar Meyer and Hormel both offer them.
