Healthy lunch options?

Looking for lunch box suggestions... 

Our rotation looks a little like this:

turkey and cheese sandwiches or pinwheels

mac and cheese in a thermos

Pb and J

chicken salad sandwiches

leftover pizza

bagels and cream cheese 

carrots

apples/applesauce

pears

grapes

melon 

string cheese

yogurt 

raisins

veggie booty or cheese curls or sun chips

pretzels 

goldfish 

kids cliff bars

We live in Seattle and things here are very green. I pack the kids lunches in as much reusable containers as possible and try to keep the ziplock baggie use to a minimum. 

I'd love to see other's lunchbox rotations. I need new "main course" ideas.

    I wish mine would eat hotdogs or lettuce. I too make my own lunchables for the kids. The store bought ones gross me out.
