what do you feed your kids for lunch?

we are in a total rut. luckily, i have two kids that will eat anything and everything but i just cant think of what to feed them! i normally leave leftovers from dinner the night before but i havent been cooking as much lately and am tired of having the nanny give them frozen stuff from the freezer.

so - any great ideas for things to serve for lunch? thank you!

Re: what do you feed your kids for lunch?

  • we do:

    sandwiches

    roll-ups (flate bread of tortilla) with cream cheese and fruit or meat and cheese

    flate bread pizza with veggies

    all dipdip (sliced veggies and spiced yoghurt for dipping)

    salad (my kid loves him some lettuce)

    mini burgers, hot dogs

    left overs

    noodles and cheese/veggies/whatever

    Grilled cheese
    PB & J
    Snack lunch (crackers with slices of cheese, turkey, fruit)
    English muffin pizza
    Turkey roll-up (wheat tortilla spread w/cream cheese or hummus and layered with turkey and avocado; roll-up and slice like sushi)

  • ohhhhhh! thanks for all these ideas - these are great! i am super hungry now. and why did i not think of hummus! that is brilliant.
  • thanks for the ideas too!  We're totally in a rut.  My most creative ideas are the muffin tin lunches (where you have a 6 hole muffin tin and you fill each hole with something) and we do what I call a "stick" lunch.  Anything and everything has to be eaten on a stick (I use tooth picks).  We roll up lunch meats, cheeses, fruits, crackers, etc.
    Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

  • Sandwiches

    fruit

    cheese

    yogurt

    quesadillas

     

    That is really about it. Not much variety in our breakfast /lunch routine.

    We do tooth pick foods too.  My mom used to call it "teriyaki ______" for whatever it was, DS is tickled with this idea.
