My oldest didn't eat ...Lisa, I feel your pain! <br />My oldest didn't eat ANY kind of sandwich until she was in 4th grade. My youngest is now in 7th grade and STILL doesn't eat ANY kind of sandwich. Neither of my girls EVER liked peanut butter on a sandwich. NEVER. Drove me NUTS. Heh. ; ) <br /><br />Now my high schooler eats turkey and tuna sandwiches, thank goodness. The first year she ate sandwiches it was turkey, lettuce and ranch dressing rolled up in a tortilla. A year later she branched out to whole wheat bread or rolls. <br /><br />My youngest is a tough one. I try to rotate her choices between the following: <br /><br />-hard boiled egg<br />-deli ham, rolled up [she only eats one slice, though]<br />-yogurt with a baggie of granola<br />-sunchips <br />-whole wheat crackers<br />-carrot + celery sticks with ranch dressing<br />-cheese sticks<br />-sliced cheese<br />-soup in a termos<br />-a cookie <br />-homemade snack mix [cereal, pretzels, dried fruit]<br />In every lunch:<br />-milk [I buy the Horizon organic milk in the Tetra-Pak container so I don't worry about spoilage]<br />-fruit<br /><br />Good luck! :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-37541041401797820802011-09-13T16:04:18.257-05:002011-09-13T16:04:18.257-05:00http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/kid-friendly/l...http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/kid-friendly/lunchbox-ideas.aspx<br /><br />http://familyfun.go.com/back-to-school/back-to-school-lunches-snacks/<br /><br />http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/recipes/healthy/ideas-kids-school-lunches<br /><br />Makes me want to pack my lunch.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-4397747540832697312011-09-13T14:02:52.430-05:002011-09-13T14:02:52.430-05:00My kids liked waffles, pancakes, English muffin pi...My kids liked waffles, pancakes, English muffin pizza, eggncheese sandwiches, cereal( one brought this every day for weeks) you could send milk, or sometimes he would buy milk. to this day he eats a huge amount of Cheerios and he is 29!Elisabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-5196596198771687192011-09-13T12:21:30.483-05:002011-09-13T12:21:30.483-05:00Will Pirate eat/drink soup?

And, now with these wonderful new lunch boxes with ice packs...<br /><br />Probably some duplications from other comments here:<br /><br />-Tuna fish<br />-egg salad<br />-chicken salad<br />The above on bread or not<br />-bread and butter sandwiches<br />-bread and jelly/jam sandwiches<br />-any leftover meat - be sure to slice it into finger food (except maybe fried chicken or a hamburger patty)<br />-homemade pizza<br />-quiche<br />-orange slices or segments or other fruit like you've been doing<br />-slivers of raw vegetables with some ranch dressing for dipping<br />-thin slices of cheese<br />-dried fruit<br /><br />Takes some planning if you can't do peanut butter or other nuts. We often fixed certain dinners just so there'd be leftovers for the next day.Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-80089018918875959302011-09-13T11:38:12.167-05:002011-09-13T11:38:12.167-05:00My kids eat hot lunch once a week, pizza day.

She's in fourth grade now and coming up with original ideas is very hard! I send pasta salad with olives for something different (she doesn't eat sandwiches!), spaghettios in a thermos and sometimes make a frozen pizza and put a few slices in a baggie. I'm looking forward to reading other suggestions, because it's only September and I'm already bored with the lunches.Tina's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313626164494986783noreply@blogger.com
