Re: Packing school lunches tips

[Guest guest]

I saved this from Kim H. Hope it helps.

Well I don't have any kids that I pack lunches for but I do have a husband (it's almost the same thing ;-)

He works outside and doesn't want anything that has to be microwaved for lunch in the summer. I know I sound like a broken record on these crepes but they are so versatile. I make different things so he's not eating the same kind of sandwich everyday but he takes sandwiches almost everyday.

Here is a list of his usuals...

PB & J

tuna salad

egg salad

pulled pork

bacon and tomato

You could also do chicken salad, homemade roast beef, etc. etc. Whatever type of sandwich she liked before, you could probably make something close to it.

If she doesn't like the crepes or the wrap idea, you could do souffle bread. Has she tried that yet? The recipe is at,

To go with the sandwiches for a chip type thing, you could make her some cheese crisps (cheese lace) or she could have pork rinds if she likes those.And you could pack a small cup of cooked fruit (peaches, apples, etc....whatever she likes and tolerates) or a banana.

Aside from sandwiches, you could make her some crackers and she could have them with cheese or tuna or egg salad. Marilyn makes roll-ups with prosciutto and provolone cheese. She could have those and some fruit.

Of course, she would need an insulated lunch kit with blue ice to keep things cold but that's it....no microwave.

Hope this helps.

Take care,
