Fun ideas for packed lunches....

[Dymphna]

Hey, does anyone know where I can get a couple of those hard plastic sandwich boxes in LP?

I always see them in the bread aisle in the grocery store, hanging from clips, not on the shelf.

will you come make my lunch for me?

Anytime

I went with pretzel kabobs and as an added bonus, since I thought Teddy Grahams were too cute/babyish I picked off their heads from their bodies, used red icing gel for the blood and called them "Decapitated Zombie Bears". They were choc chips ones so they has the "rotting flesh" virus.... it was a hit. I think next time I'll just use the bodies and save the heads for a snack when he gets home

We let our daughter buy lunch once a week. She looks at the menu for the following week and picks what day she is buying. I cannot believe ES lunches are $2.25. They also don't sound that great either at least the PES menu. Hopefully it gets better as the year goes on. Last year at Park Hall they had all sorts of things.

Anyway, I roll some sweet bologna and put some cream cheese in the middle. Sometimes she wants ham and mustard rolls. I also cut up cheese for her. She also likes banana hoagies. I put PB on a hot dog bun and put half a banana in it. That is a huge hit as well. Rachel Ray had great ideas for kids lunches on her talkshow last summer.

Today's lunch, I got creative....
chopped up leftover grilled chicken, penne pasta, ranch dressing, and shredded munster cheese, a banana, a peanut butter chip granola bar and capri sun. I tried the pasta (sans chicken) before I served it.... it's a hit

I took your idea about letting my son buy lunch once a week-thanks! And you're right, the PES lunches look like nothing but "junk".

Welcome! It's a compromise, so everyone wins. Yeeeaa!
