Sarah S. Jones 2|1|there are lots...|soccer_mom|jhowarth@wiley.com|14:05:53|08/01/2011|
if you google school lunches your'll get a bunch...
I personally used to like the ones at familyfun.com or kraftreceips.com.
But personally, they really didn't work too well because they gave foods my kids just didn't like. I found what worked best was to give them foods I knew they would eat, that wouldn't "crush" in their back packs, and would stay well since they don't get a fridge to put their food in and can't heat it up by microwave. There are some foods my kids won't eat at room termperature so I ended up just getting a handful of foods and using them over and over. Better they eat something more than once a week than throw out.

Sarah S. Jones 4|1|Have you tried changing up the sandwiches with something like...|jdlaurie|savethosepennies@aol.com|22:05:14|08/02/2011|
wraps? My daughter is picky and hates everything... but it you put it in a wrap... it's like something totally new to her. I put a little ranch dressing in the wrap and she gets excited about it. Can even put ceasar salad in with the meat. Or just lettuce, shredded cheese, etc.
My son likes pasta salad (you can put salami, turkey, ham, veggies or whatever else in it).
We also make our own lunchables. Cut the meat and cheese into cubes and put crackers in the package. Put it a frozen juice box to keep the meat and cheese cold.
Regular salad is good if your child likes veggies... although my daughter won't touch veggies... my son will eat a salad... he'll eat anything! However, oily salad dressings will leak, so you are better sending a ranch or ceasar dressing.
My kids also like hardboiled eggs to go!
I never could find any lunch items that were googled that my kids liked. So we had to come up with stuff If I think of anything else I'll let you know!

she wouldn't eat any kind of sandwich. I used to put Slim Jim meat snacks, sunflower seeds, fruit and a P&J sandwich mostly for looks in case the teacher saw her lunch box, I didn't want her to think I was a bad mother but knew she wasn't going to eat the sandwich.She is still very picky and she is 40 now.

like when I made him pasta salads. Now he just buys lunch but I would much rather make him it! 8|1|my daughter will not eat a sandwich to save her life, but if I roll up the meat and cheese likes a delit platter, and put the bread9with a little butter) on the side, she will eat everything.
