Answer
Chicken salad sandwich
Sliced chicken by itself can be pretty plain, but chopped up into a salad tastes simply scrumptious. We always used cooked chicken leftover from yesterdays meal, which has been chopped in the blender. To the chopped chicken, add a little mayonnaise, some minced dill pickle, minced celery, chopped walnuts and a smidgeon of Dijon mustard. We serve up this winner on either whole wheat hoagie rolls or in a whole wheat wrap for a sandwich that's both healthy as it is tasty.
Ham and Potato sandwich
This crazy concoction has been a children's favorite for decades, at least at my elementary school! To make this silly sandwich, place a couple of thin slices of turkey ham on wheat bread, add a thin slice of American or cheddar cheese and a dollop of mayonnaise. Where does the potato come in? Include a container of five single potato chips which the children can add to their sandwich during lunch. The salty crunch of the chips against the sweetness of the ham is so tasty, they won't want to be trading this sandwich.
Peanut butter and jelly
Organic and natural peanut butters are high in nutrition and pack a lot of protein in a single serving. Since a peanut butter sandwich a la carte can be a little tough to eat , we always match it up with Mom's homemade low-sugar blackberry or strawberry jam for a sandwich that has the kids asking for extras.
Tuna Salad
Tuna salad gets a bad rap, but it's both low in calories and high in protein. The best tuna salad sandwich is a combination of low cal mayonnaise, minced celery, sweet pickle relish, a dash of sugar, and water packed tuna. To add some greens to your child's sandwich, stir in 1/2 of cup of chopped, fresh spinach.
Green eggs and hamwiches
Egg salad sandwiches were mainstay picnic fare when I was a kid, but aren't quite as popular as they once were. It's a shame too, because egg salad really is a healthy, low calorie, low cost sandwich ingredient.
To trick my kids into eating egg salad sandwiches, I turned them into Green Egg and Hamwiches. To make this silly recipe, use any basic egg salad recipe, but add a tablespoon of minced ham and a drop of green food coloring. If you really want to be sneaky, this is a great time to add alfalfa sprouts! The sandwich looks crazy but is so weird looking that your children can't help but gobble it down

What healthy meals can you make and freeze for the week?

Recipe for your favorite would be great.
Answer
I love this non-traditional chili made with canned tomatillos, green chilies and white beans. It goes together quickly, can be prepared in advance and leftovers freeze beautifully. The optional toppings add fresh color and bright flavor. Serve with brown or white rice, if desired.
WHITE TURKEY CHILI
Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 pounds ground turkey breast
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
1 (28-ounce) can tomatillos, drained and chopped
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely sliced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups cooked Great Northern beans, drained
Chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)
7 teaspoons grated Monterey Jack cheese, for garnish (optional)
7 teaspoons sour cream, for garnish (optional)
Method
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add turkey and cook, stirring often, until browned. Transfer to a bowl and return pot to heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, bell pepper and onion and cook until softened and golden brown. Return turkey to pot and add coriander, cumin, oregano and salt. Stir well to combine. Add bay leaf, tomatillos, chiles, jalapenos and broth, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 to 50 minutes. Gently stir in beans and cook for 30 minutes more. Stir in cilantro, ladle chili into bowls and garnish with cheese and sour cream, if you like.
Other cooked meals or entrees that freeze well are meatballs (either Italian style or Swedish; beef or turkey Meatballs), Meatloaf, Lasagna, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal or Beef Rollatine, Beef stew without the potatoes. Meatloaf and meatballs also make great hero sandwiches or turn them into Shepherds pie which also freezes well. The filling for chicken pot pies freezes well; just defrost the filling and top with refrigerated crescent or biscuits and bake until hot and bubbly or just serve the filling over toast.
