What are some easy-to-prepare healthy lunches to take to school?




Christine


I've recently been bringing crackers with a can of tuna and cucumbers to school because i've been eating sandwiches for the past 11 years and i am very very sick of it.

I have access to the year 12 kitchen which has microwaves/toasters/sandwich presses/hot water. I'm looking for a healthy, easy-to-prepare lunch recipe

cooking for lunch... recipes?

Q. Anyone have any recipes for an easy lunch. I find that I can make dinners but for some reason lunch is a challenge. I don't want to make a two hour lunch and I have 5 children to cook for, when there is no school. I can't even seem to grocery shop well to accommodate lunch!


Answer
Sandwiches i.e. ham & cheese, tuna/chicken salad, chicken or turkey breast, lettuce & tomatoes. Have a little side of cold potato or mac salad. Keep lots of fresh fruit around to go with - apples, bananas, oranges, raisins, grapes, yogurt or little pudding cups, fruit salad or a few chips. Kid ideas - mac n cheese, sloppy joes, kabobs (fruit w a yogurt dipping sauce or chicken nuggets). If you make meatloaf or meatballs the night before, make a meatloaf or meatball sanwich. Cold pasta salads are healthy, and you can add in any veggies, cherry tomatoes, and dressing (i.e. Italian etc.). Make the sandwiches interesting - roll em up in a flour tortilla or use a star shaped cookie cutter for the bread. Or little min pizzas on a flour tortilla - lay out the toppings & let the kids have fun making their own. Eggs/frittatas are easy - add in mushrooms, onions, shredded cheese.
