my kids school lunch went up again this year its $2.25 per day.what do you pack for your kids lunch everyday besides sandwiches and leftovers? 1|1|We have a schedule:|aloha2u|alohamillion@yahoo.com|20:39:29|09/13/2009|
One day per week is a sandwich of some kind and every Friday, for a treat is a lunchable kind of thing. In between, I do burritos, totino pizza rolls, chicken fajitas/ quesadea SP?, pizza slices and mini pizzas, bagels. I try to rotate an 'unhealthy' main coarse like pizza rolls with fresh veg, fruit packs, yogurt and then a healthy main coarse like chicken wraps with a bag of chips.

When we get the lunch menu, I make her buy at least twice a week. She likes their pizza (Fridays) so that's at least something. Normally she eats a sandwich or a lunchable with a drink box, bottle of water or flavored water and a bag of chips, granola bar, fruit cup or something small and snacky. I try not to put candy (m&ms) in her lunch box very often. She won't eat leftovers.
